i did the ultimately stupid thing to my gsr. from 5th to 2nd at about 75 mph. revs went passed 9K.
i pulled over and my car would not go into gear. the engine was idling and it was fine even when ireved it up. the gears however would not go it. the clutch pedal got really hard and "springy." when i turned the car off, i could get it in gear. then start it up and was able to drive it and switch gears with that clutch but they barely went in and it was really hard to put it in the next gear. wtf? is it my tranny or just the clutch? i know my motor is good, we at least i hope so. but i managed to get it to a nearby firneds garage and i dont know what to get, a clutch and tranny or one or the other. i guess hte mechanic himself will tell me what i need but i want your opinion as well. help me out guys, i want my car back!
TIA

btw...if i need a new tranny, which is the best to go with my b18c1 motor, a stock b18c1 tranny, an itr tranny or a civic type r tranny?
let me know asap, same goes for clutch, which is the best?

 

your clutch is gone

 

plain and simple.
thanks
what about the tranny? is it ok?
i want the si tranny bad.
what do you think?

 

im just curious, y would u down shift to 2nd at such a high speed??

 

si tranny's or gsr trannys are both geared real well for racing...or if you really wanna get somthing tight get a tranny with LSD(limited slip diferential)...it will make your car handle incredibly....hope it helps...
later,
Dan

 

TeamTooQuick, I think he was dropping it from 5th to 4th and missed and slipped into 2nd. I have a movie of an RSX goin ***** out and shifted outta third back into 2nd at 8200. To say the least it wasnt pretty. I do wish the best of luck to you though bocian, but if you are goin replace your tranny get the ITR one or one with an LSD. Youll be a lot faster off the line and your car will handle a lot better. Since you might replace it anyways, spend the extra $$$ and do it right. My 2 cents.

 

your right in every aspect!
yea i did missfire! how the hell i could have been so stupid, i dont know. oh well **** happens, at least i can now go for an upgrade right?

ok, heres my question/comment.
how does a b16a tranny with lsd sound? how will this work?
and what about the clutch? which can i use? i think there are many clutches that are made for all b series motors. will that work?
please help out an uninformend honda fanatic.
thanks a lot guys.

 

also what is the difference between the following:
b16a1
b16a2
b16a Y1
b16a J1

another thing whats up with the cbale and hydro trannies? difference?
man, its times lik this when i see how LITTLE i know
please educate me
thanks guys

 

Ok, 1st of all, you wanna go with a hydraulic tranny period. Second, the us spec B16 tranny never came with an LSD and the 2000-2001 SI tranny had the 4.2 final drive. I would personally go with a NEW JDM 98 up ITR transmission. This would give you the 4.78 final drive and the LSD, this is the ultimate factory setup for an Auto-X, Track or NA drag car.

Try contacting any of the guys that sell on here, they can get the tranny for you.

 

thanks for the post...
yea a new jdm itr tranny sounds sweet, but pricey too. i am on a tight budget and im trying to save some money while doing this.
tia...
keep the posts coming!

 

Look for a Used Del Sol Tranny (B16A) or a used Type-R tranny then. They can be found for under 900 used.

 

you broke a lutch spring

 

is that all, do you think the tranny is fine?

 

how much would a 98+ ITR tranny go for?? new? used? how would it be on a N/A LS?

 

Hahaha. I did the same thing last night, I dropped from fifth to 3rd doing like 100mph easy. Went way past redline!!!! oops

 

i like the ctr tranny......my friend has a supercharged gsr with a ctr tranny and its raw as lleh ! your top speed wont be that high though ......but i guarantee youll get there faster....he said he's gonna put an integra ls 5th gear in his tranny.....but the itr tranny is good too because it too has the LSD inside----i got a gsr engine in my del sol and i messed up the gsr tranny so i bought an ls tranny........trust me it aint what you want

 

i was at 9400 rpm in 3rd and went to 2nd instead of 4th. With jun3s and a milled head... my valves were not exactly happy.

 

oooooooooow
that aint good

 

Thas weird. I remember when I accidently popped it into 2nd gear goin 75mph, but the Clutch never popped back out. It stayed in and wouldn't let up. I'm glad it did that, cuz I never overreved. Does it automatically do that? It was in 2nd gear, but the clutch stayed in, until I put the gear back in neutral. Is it like a safety feature? I dont know what the hell happened, but it saved my engine.

 

i believe thts one of those things that happens,nobody can explain it ,but you're glad it happened

 

i over revved with mine... going from 3rd to 4th and went to 2nd... car wouldnt idle right.. melted valves.. its ok ride still under warranty.. got a new motor for free... oh yeah it went allllll the way... to the very last red mark

 

i know a guy that had a 90 prelude with v-tec head and he was trying to teach his girl how to drive and she took it from 4th to 2nd and was still holding the gas.............lets just say it was still smoking when we pulled up

 

hey what about bent valves?
