Re: Tranny gone in under 18k (04'CiViClOvEr)
I launch probably once or twice a week
All stock interior tranny wise
could it go that quick
clutch doctors say these items are gone :
Syncro's need replacement
Slider
spider something
1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears are toast
clutch is gone for
flywheel needs replacement
bearings are done for
say it would be easier to install a used trannsmission
they want $1700
is this accurate?

under 18k? yeah if you beat the hell out of it every day, and dont know how to shift. they said the clutch was bad too. so i would asume its because of driving it incorrectly. even when you launch and race a clutch should last longer than that.

1700 for a transmission? Wow. I would say to browse the classifieds and see if you could pick up a used tranny for less. Then you could possibly get a better geared one too. Besides, what seems wrong w/the tranny?

Re: Tranny gone in under 18k (04'CiViClOvEr)
i have been racing for almost 2 years now so. I know how to shift and do all the proper racing manouvers for engine control but not really informed on trannsmissions.
raced a 89 hatch with a B20.
friends car. atleast i think it was a 89' for about 2 weeks
04' BMW M3 for about a month while my dad was out of town.
both mashed in. Didnt kill the car with the clutch.
---- only swaps for a 04' Civic Ex is K's and GSR right?----
those are like some $4000 minimum and i just wanna get a ahold of a ls tranny or a integra GSR and dont do a motor swap
You think Clutch Doctor's is just a little money hungry or are these numbers accurate?

Re: Tranny gone in under 18k (nocturnaldragon)
Extremely hard to not kill the car when getting up to speed in first
Grabs super late
sounds like i have a rotory engine
clutch pedal is all the way to the floor and i slam into 3rd but still grinds but sucks the shifter into the 3rd slot
and engine vibration rattle at 6000 to 6700 rpm's

transmission places charge an outrageous amount, stay away from them
the do this because they replace everything in the tranny, because they offer you a warranty, if something they did not replace broke, they would be liable.
Get a used tranny from a local junkyard, or even support honda-tech and get one from someone one here.
ps...keep you motor, you obviously do not know enough about motors to attempt a motor swap. Look into a carb legal turbo kit, it will give you the most power for the least money/hassles.
