Iam having problem with my EG sedan, My brake feels weak when I am driving, I tried to check my brake pads and i seems its at 90% of its life, I tried bleeding with brake fluid and the brake still seems weak, also with my transmission, at 3K RPM i hear a buzzing sound, is it because of my tranny or theres a problem with the transmission itself. sorry for my english. im not that good in english.

thanks for the reply.

 

it could be your tranny making noise
check your brake booster vacuum hose for rips or leaks
check the brake lines for leaks
all esle fails get a brake booster and master cylinder from a non abs DA(if you dont have abs) and put that in and get a 40/40 proportioning valve. i did this on my 4dr eg and now the brakes are A+

 

whats kojiwafu?

 

when engine is turned off, press in your brake pedal. If it doesn't build pressure and hold, then chances are you have a leak in your booster. If it doesn't build pressure, chances are your master cylinder is leaking.

 

why a DA? and not a 92-95 si or 94-01 gsr?

 

cuz they is cheap and in junkyards. only in lala land will you find a gsr in a junk yard. and i dont think any egs came with bigo boosters and MCs

 

lol true

iv seen LS dc2's in junkyards....sadly


and even a 99 civic si (a kid i know got it repo'd)
but he pulld the b16 out before they got it haha

 

Thanks ill go check later.
kojiwafu is nothing i just saw that word in some japanese honda forums.

 

I think the buzzing sound is ok, i wouldn't worry about it. my eg buzzes a bit too. i'm a mechanic (new to this site), and i know many different cars that buzz at different rpm's.
Its just due to a minor engineering fault along the way. and all trannies do it to some extent. don't worry about that, unless it starts getting louder or something.
About your brakes though, the other guys pretty much said it all.
other than what they mentioned, the only other possibility is that you smoked em bad enough to give you brake fade, maybe goin down a big hill or something, but thats not likely. even the eg's don't weigh enough to do much damage to the brakes...

 

I checked my brakes, when it is turned off I feel pressure by kickin on the brakes, I checked my brake pads and all seems fine. I havnt tried to bleed it. im gonna try soon

 

the only eg in a 4 door with big booster is the civic EX-V they came with a d16a1 with vtec i did the brake swap with that car as my doner car
