i just got done with my b18b swap into my 00 civic. i started the car for the first time (on jack stands) and when the car was in neutral and the clutch pedal out, the wheels spin to about 15-20 mph. when i press the clutch in the wheels stop spinning? what the heck is this? is it the tranny?

 

its normal. well atleast it did on my car in the air in neutral. sorry my info sucks, i just realized it after i pushed the post button. but i think its normal just cause the axle is freely spinning wth the tranny/motor since the wheels are off the air.

 

it happens because the tranny is still connected to the moving flywheel and it touches enough to move when wheels are off the ground

 

it's normal. it's just the fact that there is no load on the wheels and fluids are settled in the tranny.

 

 

thanks guys....good info
