Hey guys I have a 2000 Honda civic Hx i did a b18a1 swap in. I'm kinda having some issues with the swap right now. I have it all together and it will run, but I have burned through 2 clutches within two hours. I'm using the S1 cable trans with they hydro conversion a carquest flywheel and the last clutch i had was some cheap clutch off of ebay. Any ideas on how to fix it or whats going on exactly? Thanks for the help guys hope to hear back from you soon.

 

2 clutches in a few hours!??! WOW.......sorry man i have no idea that sounds bad, maybe your clutch master or clutch slave cylinder has taken a sh#$ and even though its engaging, its barely engaging enough and its burning your clutch?? though you'd notice that it would grind and stuff when you change gears....yeah i dunno

 

ya, quit using a cable transmission!!! be a man and buy a hydro trans like the car is suppose to have and u might not have problems

 

only reason im using a cable trans is because that was what came with the motor

 

so sell it and buy a hydro transmission? the hydro to cable kits never work right anyway.

 

sounds like the conversion kit was put on wrong, like its always pushing donw on that clutch, and are you boosting the car or anything? it just sounds like the kit is put on wrong and its has the clutch always engaged..

Whats on the engine.. stock or turbo
Does it grip good? or does it kinda grip and high rpm in the gears while accelerating

If its always running high rpms like hte clutch is going out then its always engaged.. Which Conversion kit are you using?

heres a link that might help

Im using the hasport one its stock and it feels like i have no power what so ever at any RPM high low nothing

 

hmm, so when you push the gas do the RPMS go higher than they normally would and you just move slower than usual? also make sure the forks on your pressure plate arn't bent, it just sounds like your clutch is always engaged..do youhave that burning smell like your burning the clutch?

SOrry for the questions just trying to figure out what its actually doing in normal driving conditions

 

no no questions are good LOL and no but i can't tell in the car if you know what i mean but yes the rpms go up but the car feels like there is zero power what so ever even at high rpms

 

ok so i figured out it wan't my clutch so now it moves but seems like it has almost zero power at any rpm lower than 4000.... ideas?
