ORC Clutch and Flywheel

Damn my clutch and my cars 49 000kms. To too much meat left for me to upgrade to a lightweight package!

it's a good drive with lightweight f/w and clutch.

from aaron's car. Revs so freely.

I noticed you didn't use full throttle in 1st and 2nd gear to redline though. hehehe. Good anyway, since my engine oil was still cool. :p

does anyone know the reason as to why, when im going low speeds my 2nd gear is a stubborn to shift into ? and also, when im going red line 1st then shift to 2nd it crunches a bit ? makes a loud shift noise.

and one more thing. when i go 1st into second and drop the clutch in 2nd it jolts the car. is this normal ?

yes i am pushing the clutch all the way in then shifting. i have no trouble with the other gears just 2nd.

If you have problem getting into 2nd gear only, then I reckon the 2nd gear synchros are worn out if the other gears are fine.

Could be because you are abusing your gearbox? You shouldn't drop the clutch in 2nd if the RPM is not at the exact match. Just release it in one smooth motion.

Is your clutch bite point at the bottom or in the middle?

Its the euro gearbox, it's like that. i tried before and couldnt shift into 2nd.

Have you drive for a bit until its warm and it shifts nicely.

But you need to revv match. <-- thats the main factor.

Or stated by aaron the synchros.

its at the middle. now when i think about it. my trips are usually only 10 - 20 minutes usually.

so what crapdaz said, its not operating at its optimum temperature i believe could be the case ?

i found when i dragged my friends auto euro, i couldn't shift into 2nd until i dropped the revs a bit, when i hit 7k.

10-20mins doesn't even let the engine oil warm up to it's full potential.
Does not give the Kseries engine justice.

Change your MTF.Guaranteed improved shifting.

Honda 6sp box commonly has trouble with shifting into 2nd... my car does it every now and then... :(

Search in the integra forums, theres alot of into there about the problem...

as said by others, try rev match, and be gentler on that particular change :thumbsup:

Mine has no problems. I pull the gearstick straight down into 2nd, not down and to the left like many other ppl. :p
