EP3 Type R

^ Jaycar man :)

Is that the one you're using Nepolian? I know these things should be relatively simple but I want to avoid getting a dud. Thanks.

hey guys.. i need some advice on my ep3,

i just wanna ask about shifting from 1st to 2nd gear problem.what ive done so far to the car is bleed any air on the clutch, put mtf honda oil gear box slightly thin and finally have change the mounts to avid racing ones.but the problem still accurs when i redline the 1st gear to 2nd, it sometimes struggles to go in.I know the car drive beautiful under normal driving, any other gear goes in just fine.Is the any other symptom that i dunno of that you may know?.


thanks in advance,
Tof

Second gear issue has been well documented in the UK with their CTRs... see civictype-r.co.uk for a fair bit of discussion on the "feature"/issue (registration is required).

Ive tried the link, found heaps of info from there, thx heaps much appreciated..

GL Shinobi :D

Let us know how u go mate

quick question, how do you bleed the clutch?

Shinobi, maybe you can try changing to a heavier gear knob first. they should shift much better.

talked to my mechanic .. gonna try changing the clutch first, bought an ogura single plate clutch kit to be installed on monday..will let yous know then.If all fails..ill try your method phillip.:thumbsup:

I'm looking at getting some defi gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp) for my EP3

does anybody have some installed or pics of some? Since I dont have the car yet does everything light up red at night in the interior of the EP3?

thanks
