ive been noticing my car everytime i shift is torqueless. I just dont feel the torque like i used to. I can still drive for daily driving but for racing is different. Could it be the clutch or could it my tranny mount or even the motor mounts?

 

do you mean like the car is making less power than before?when was the last tune-up?
chris

 

Tune? Engine done but if u talking about the tranny no i have not check the fluid could that be it.

 

u runing a b16 or a d16, and u want to know why it's torquless, it's a honda, not a domestic

Umm...a transmisson does'nt make and engine torqueless.... Possibly your clutch is giving up though. Either that or it's time for a tune up (new plugs, wire, air filter, etc..)

My car would peel off in 2nd gear now it doesnt pull like it used too. The spark plugs were changed two months ago along with a new distributor and wires. Filter cleaned 3months ago.

 

maybe it's just all in your head. your probably drove a torque monster and it just feels weird goin back to your civic.

 

hahaha....lol

Okay, so then either you broke something internally in your motor or your clutch is going out. How many miles do you have on your clutch?

 

naw engine still running good so im thinking its the clutch or the mounts but how can i determine that. clutch has 150,000 miles.

 

are you still using the oem clutch?

After 150k I would be willing to bet that's your cluprit.

Not my clutch 164,000 and can still chirp 2nd

 

if it were your mounts...you would be having wheel hop...not lose of power. the power would still be there, you just wouldn't be able to control it as much...kinda like what i have...but my damn 6 puck is going out on me too. so now i have both problems

 

Engine is good huh?

How do you know. Can you feel the compression with some special mutant powers?

WTF? Do a compression test...

When does the clutch engage?

You do realize you're driving a SOHC 1.6 liter honda engine don't you?

You used to whip your friend who drives a z28? Hummmm...

What are all the modifications?

 

Is this a joke?

Have you changed the air in your tires lately? Might want to try that. The older the air is the heavier it gets

Clutch tests:

1. Get on the highway and cruise in 5th gear. Push in the clutch and rev up the engine. Dump the clutch. If it is slow to return to the proper RPM, it is starting to slip and should be replaced. If it returns quickly to the proper RPM, the clutch is good.

2. Drive up a steep hill in 1st gear and wind it out to redline at WOT. Shift quickly to 2nd and give it WOT again. You'll be able to tell if it's slipping . . .

3. Set the e-brake and put the car in 4th or 5th gear. Give it some throttle and try to pull away. If the clutch is still good, the engine should instantly stall.

 

Don't drive Hondas.

yeah the car does wheel hop and i know there nothing wrong with the engine cause i keep up w/ the maintance. Maybe your right the power is there but if the mounts arent good then im losing power to the wheel can somebody help me on this one guys.
Sorry guys i thought a clutch would contribute to torque!
