sounds like your first gear is messed up bad ,but if your no other gear does anything funny then you might wanna check it out closer make sure its not your hubs or axels. what about your reverse? does that do anything or is it cool?

shaking madly through out first gear? meaning all of first gear, 800-7k rpms?

Check your engine mounts too.

Do you know what your clutch setup is like? Could be a racing clutch, or else it could be something else is really wrong with your tranny.

drtysohc

is it just when you let the clutch out? is it making any noise?

it could be anything from really bad clutch chatter, to a problem with your gear sets. if you think it is something with the tranny, drain the fluid and see if there is any metal in the MTF, and throw some genuine honda MTF back in it.

Had the same problem; Looks like I'm burning out and trying to race everyone on the streets...turned out to be the clutch (worn out and gouged)and a minor leak in the CMC. I vote clutch.

Yea I have a stage 2 clutch and a ACT light flywheel. What could be wrong with my tranny?

Yea! when I let my clutch out and gas it within 1-2k rpm in 1st gear it happens. But if I hold the clutch in and gass it pass 2k rpm then it doesnt happen but.. that is call burning(riding) the clutch and that is bad and not normal... :[

It does not make any noise at all. And I drained the tranny fluid and it still happens. :[

I have some first gear chatter/shaking when I let out the clutch at low rpms too... subscribed

drtysohc

it is just clutch chatter...that happens with aftermarket clutches sometimes. it isn't anything to be too concerned with. it usually is a result of not being broken in properly. sometimes it will correct itself, other times it won't.

is it a pretty new clutch?

i've been told that slipping it and burning off the fucked up part of the clutch will solve the problem, but then again i've never had to do that. I had a minor chatter with my exedy, but it solved itself.

Endo-land

Mine did that with my last clutch, ACT 4 puck unsprung, crazy style. Also wore the **** out of my clutchmaster flywheel surface, luckily a replaceable surface. It took a good month to month and a half to break in properly. I did the smart thing and went back to a stg3 CM, a lot more streetable.

sounds to me like it's in your clutch/psi plate, only in first?

LetAGrlShowU

ok, i have mild clutch chatter with my stock clutch but it doesnt make my car shake like an earthquake, just a lil "chatter" lol &lt;-- captain obvious. Anyways it doesnt sound like usual clutch chatter should make his car jolt around

95dxsir2

nevermind, op said reverse is fine, is this a misfire under load? is it like a bucking "earthquake".

nemesiskrp

i have the same prob , stage 2 clutch, when im at a stop and im starting to go it will seem like theirs an earthquack kinda of a feeling in the car, the dash shakes and stuff, buttt, if i start out in first at 2500-3000 and go slowly its smooth...so basically it happens to me when i start out at low rpm, this is just drivin around town... i always thought it was slipping but its only in 1rst gear

I am using earthquake like an example. because my car moves BACk and FORTh, it does not like.. shake/rattle .. hmm like if your in the car your head will move forward and back motion as well when the car is doing it. Pretend your sitting in a car and just move your HEAD back and forth . not side to side or anything.

does it shake ? does your body move back and forth?

yes.. being driving for 3 years now and I go to the Race Track ( drag strip) like 2 times a year to track my car. Forgot to mention when I RACE this doesn't happen.. it only happens when I drive normal on the street when I slowly gas it as I let go of the clutch.

Dool_Ohver_Hed_Cam

really just sounds like clutch chatter. you say it doesn't do it when you take it to the track though? that could be because your clutch is being engaged from a higher rpm. another way to tell if it is your clutch or your tranny is to go down a hill while in first and after you start to move (like 5 mph or less) you slowly let out the clutch (still give it gas) and see if it still shakes the car. (doing this will engage your clutch safely from a higher rpm) if it doesn't then it sounds like it is just the racing clutch. if it does, then it could be your tranny.

Wrap flywheel.

LOL. Type-o owned me.

SoyMilk

Going downhill it still happens, its just happen at low rpm like .8 rpm to almost 2 rpm not quite there. so like .8 rpm to 1 and 1/2 rpm :/ . Only way to avoid this is to hold down the clutch and let the mph increase and the rpm increase ..

Still don't know the problem :[

maybe your car wants u to headbang?
do you know a friend with scan tool access to determine if this is engine/tranny related? when u drained the tranny, was there any metal mixed in with the oil? It's hard to tell u whats wrong with your car if i can't drive it. it's either a misfire or clutch assembly problem. i want to lean more towards clutch assembly

b16 huh? o man all that torque...it seems like its making you get some mAd wheel hop off the line
