So i just swapped an H22 into my eg civic. Literally just put it in 5 days ago with my buddy. Last 3 days i have started it to let it warm up then shut it off and work on other things. Well Today i started it and now there is SMOKE coming from the tranny. I don't have a bottom tranny cover plate. But still its a Brand new throw out bearing, Act pressure plate and disk, Fidanza flywheel. Its ALL BRAND NEW. I dont understand why its smoking? it smells real bad like almost a burn't clutch. But i haven't even moved or driven the car yet?

 

Most likely oil or antifreeze that dripped on the motor/tranny burning off, especially from a fresh install. It'll take some time to burn off completely.

Otherwise, try driving it around and see if the clutch is prematurely engaging.

 

ok another thing my buddy thinks that could be wrong is that the Clutch slave cylinder is bad, its its not releasing fully....

 

Did you bleed the clutch lines after the swap?
