So i just picked up a 94 civic dx and was told the motor was swapped for a d15b8 with lower miles. well, the car runs great with no probs its a 5 speed car with an automatic ex cluster and p05 ecu. My problem or question is I don't have to use the clutch to start the car. Is that normal? How is this possible cause I don't kno lol! some1 lmk or help me out with some input or something. thnks h-t

 

lol....wtf?

do you have to clutch to shift? hahahaha

someone sold you a 5spd with a auto motor and tranny....and put in clutch master cylinder so you have pedal pressure!! hahah that would be so funny.

makes me think of those videos where kids are sitting in the car while its not moving, shifting and making noises with thier mouths....

 

if your asking how to tell if your ecu is automatic it is pretty simple here is a link, http://www.hondata.com/techecuid.html, or if your cel is throwing a code 19 your ecu is automatic

 

well its def a 5spd ecu and the car has a clutch like a manual and wont drive unless you put it in gear..its a straight up traditional manual car but just doesnt need the clutch to start..i dont kno its so weird

 

Its not normal, you should have to depress the clutch to start the car. Either someone bypassed the switch or the car was previously an automatic and someone swapped it to a 5 speed and just jumped the 2 large wires under the center console so it would always start.

Wierd side note: JDM 5th gen civics don't have a clutch start switch, they will start without depressing the clutch.
