Last night I was at the track, everything going good and then I tried to get into 4th gear, pulled the shifter back and it felt like it was all the way back like normal but when I gassed it no 4th gear, it felt like it just wasn't there, I was shifting near redline as I was at the track. Now the thing is when I am just driving normally, no problem getting into 4th gear. I went down the track one more time thinking well maybe I just somehow missed 4th gear, I never miss 4th gear, it's probably the easiest gear imo not to miss since it's just straight back. Get down the track again shift to 4th gear and nothing again, WTF??? This time I think I did engine damage cause I thrashed the hell out of the engine and I didn't feel the rev limiter working. My engine now sounds like a Subaru WRX, that's another question, bent valves or what? This btw is on a GSR turbo Civic. Any ideas on both question??

 

bump

 

perhaps you need to adjust your pedal so that you arent over extending the clutch spring, or maybe you just arent getting enough movement out of it, so that it makes clean gear changes. there are many variables that can cause the problem. these are just 2.

 

what track were u at?

 

I was at Bradenton last night, it would have been a good night for some runs, it wasn't too busy and the weather was good, but I only got 2 runs in before I decided to shut it down, damage was done though.

 

damn dude i was at bradenton too. i probably didnt get to see u run though i got there at 9:45 i had the red/pink gsr turbo i ran 13.1 and on the last ran i ****** snapped my axle at the line dont know if u saw that or not

 

I saw someone being loaded up on a flat bed over by the shack as you first come into the place, I was in a black civic hatch, I proabably got there a little after 10pm.

 

The weird thing is that when I put it in 4th it never grinded or anything, pulled it back and it felt normal until when I let the clutch out and put gas to it, it just was like I was in neutral.

Just curious did you have your car taken all the way back to Venice? And how much does that cost? I'm just curious, because we all know we could end up in your predicament sooner or later. I see Venice is a little bit closer to the track than Tampa, but it would give me an idea. Well at least for you axles aren't too bad to replace. Were they stock specs or upgraded?

 

ya it was taken all the way to venice. I have AAA though so it didnt cost me anything. AAA=Life saver. and as for the axles they are upgraded, so im just going to send them back and have them replaced. warrentys are sweet
