    JDM B18C Transmission low rev grinds high rev smooth shifting

    You're both right. I was actually doing 4K rpm today in 5th. It's close to ~110 KM/h @ 4000rpm in 5th gear (or in other words 70mph). I also re-adjusted my clutch pedal on the weekend and that has seemed to help a bit more. The clutch pedal was already adjusted by my mechanic after the new...

    JDM B18C Transmission low rev grinds high rev smooth shifting

    Welfare, I gave your technique a try today, but the slave cylinder piston is as far back as it will go when the clutch pedal is depressed with the bleeder valve opened for bleeding (ie: I didn't find any extra air bubbles or additional room in the slave cylinder piston travel). Thanks for the...

    JDM B18C Transmission low rev grinds high rev smooth shifting

    Here's an update 1 year and 4 months later: ------------------------------------------- Back 3 weeks ago my CC throw-out bearing started making noises. Last week the bearing started to "scream", so I decided it was time to change the clutch (might as well, as I don't want to just change the...

    Thanks for the reply Welfare. Unfortunately, I never got notified by hondaswap (maybe I didn't have the thread subscribed (?)). I'll give it a try next time I have a buddy around, doesn't hurt to anyways. I found another way to do it, and that is to use a clear plastic hose (the kind you can...

    OBDIIB to OBDIIA jumper harness and aftermarket immobilizer

    I've got a 99 EK9 and plan to swap in a JDM ITR B18C. My questions are: 1) Is it true that I will need to use a OBDIIB -> OBDIIA conversion harness (since the B18C is OBDIIA and my EK9 is OBDIIB)..i'm guessing i need it 2) I currently have an aftermarket immobilizer in my car. Does this...

    Engine Swap Precations?

    Engine Swap Precautions? Hi all, I am going to be doing a JDM engine swap soon on my civic, and I am trying to find information as to whether any other people with swaps have had their JDM engines checked out prior to installation? I'm guessing a leak down test is a must/most common thing...
