97 EK with b18c....shifting into gears sometimes makes the car jump. i'll try to explain best i can.

push in clutch...give gas...let off clutch...*rev..rev..rev..*...push clutch in...
re-engage...rpms are normal.

this happends in first and second. it doesnt happen even shift but just about. doesnt matter if car is warmed up or cold start from overnite park.

basically when this happends the car does not gain speed...it feels like if your stopped..pop it in first, give it gas then press the clutch down again, like when cars at the track get ready for the green. how u see them rock back and forth cuz they are somewhat engaging first gear then letting off.

that happends to me in first and second and its NOT intentional.

this sounds weird reading it haha please help if you can.

thanks

 

so is it like your bogging? liek trying to start in a higher gear?

 

while im giving it gas and the clutch is let all the way up...it then starts to rev high, then low, high low high low until i push the clutch down again and start over. its weird.

 

is this car moving ne where when it rev high? from what im getting out of it, it sounds like the clutch is slipping

 

stock clutch or after market?

 

it might be the clutch.... since it would cause you to do this... what rpm are you releasing the clutch at?

 

at first gear u know its from a dead stop, i gotta look at the rpm's for second gear cuz im not sure....and yes, i am moving while this happends its during acceleration only

 

i got this car bout 2 weeks ago...im not sure about the clutch being stock or not...the dude i got it from didnt know **** about honda's....this is the lsvtec set up and i only paid 2700 for it. b18c1 is worth more than that by itself!!

thats what im thinking. It really sounds like you need a new clutch

 

when i got it, the one thing the dude said is that its got a new stage 2 clutch in it. is there anyway i can check that? i mean besides searching for brand name....is "stage 2" labled on it or what? im not familiar with clutches

 

that might be your problem. a stage 2 clutch is really pointless unless you pushing 200hp. Or i would make sure the clutch was installed prop

 

i may just revert back to a stage 1 clutch and go from there. im just about at 200hp tho...like 195hp.

 

stage 2398746 doesn't mean anything. it's just a relative term used for advertising clutches with varying amounts of clamping pressure. one company's stage 2 might hold more than another company's stage 3. plus it doesn't matter what kind of clutch is in there as long as a) it was installed properly, b) it's capable of holding the torque being transferred through it, and c) it's not worn out.

Yup sounds like the clutch is pooched. Time for a new one or at least check the one that is in there.

 

yeah it wouldnt matter what kind of clutch it is if its slipping off the line its time for a new one.
