I have a 2000 civic and today i was driving and i was starting from a stop and it sort of clunked in to gear from first to second. It sort of felt like when your about to stall your car but i know it wasent about to stall i even did it with more gas just to make sure and the same result. Im not dumping the clutch Im easing in to it. Then about 30 minutes later it stops and is driving normal and about 10 minutes after that it starts again. Im thinking either tranny or clutch issues? But what could it be?

Also i have a boosted b18 in my car and my friend was driving behind me and i got on it and in WOT he saw smoke is this from running rich he said it was grey/black so its not coolant.. oil? Im not sure

thanks in advanced!!

Now you have a clunking noise? Did you ever pull the codes from this thread?

They may be trying to tell you something.

As for running rich. Get it re-tuned. But first pull the codes.

no its not pulling them.. it seems like some where between the clutch and tranny.. theres no grinds and it slams in it seems like maybe throwout bearing? im not sure it doesnt do it all the time.. epically if im easy on it, it is smooth..

yeah i put 89 oct in it last fill up and after that it hasn't blown smoke and runs optimal, i thought you were supposed to run 91-93 though?

I had a similar problem and replacing the clutch and TO bearing solved the problem. My guess was the noise was caused by grease loss from the TO bearing, though I'm not absolutely sure.

As mentioned, also check all the motor mounts.

b18c8

yea do you have fluid in or the throw out bearing

My 2nd gear synchro has never liked to be rushed. Sometimes it grinds, other times it clunks if I shift too fast. Might be something else to look out for.

b18c8

yea maybe check master cylinder possibly not gettin the full pressure causing it it be like disengauged a lil bit not 100%sure at least narrow problems down

hondaB

yeah i was thinking maybe TO bearing but wouldnt that effect all gears? maybe syncro or motormounts? it has to be in that area because otherwise its smooth.. would the mounts be not stiff enough?

b18c8

o all gears hummm that sounds like sumthin simple ive had that problem i jus 4got wat it was lol check mc an clutch/fw is good rite? jus sayin you have boneheads on here sometimes have problems caused by other problems lol

hondaB

clutch and fw seem okay it just feels like its shaking when im in 1st and 2nd.. its weird..

b18c8

black smoke running rich very likely and the tranny issue idk make sure the axle is all the way in if not that or mc or fw or clutch lol then sumthin in the tranny

b18c8

maybe the spider is breaking dk

hondaB

i think i found the problem.. a piece cracked off my bell housing where the clutch is so i can actually see the disc and teeth.. like i said its not grinding it but i think when i shift it might be catching that little opening then slamming in like its supposed to..

Okay i figured it ment running rich since its only at wot lol

my other issue is oil from my oil feed/filter or cooler is leaking.. cant tell which one i think its my feed line
