Purchasing a DC5r

[45SET]

I am in NSW man, and yeah sorry i did read through abotu 15 pages inthe Teg esction and found my answers the onyl real prob is teh 2nd gear, cant be that bad or Honda woudl have fixed it or done a recall.

And the igh pitched whine/yell is exactly why i want aother VTEC, they sopund better than anything else.. out there..

No Honda never did a recall, or fixed it... if anything, made it worse, as the DC5s dosn't have the 2nd gear crunch... but has problems changing gears in high revs in 2nd to 3rd

ZOMG... I think i found a fix for the "2nd gear crunch".

I recently got a new gear knob... a FD2r gearknob. This one is bigger... and heavyer then the OEM DC5r gearknob... so yeah... more kenetic weight or something... I'm just trying to sound smart now... but yeah... seems to have fixed it... and the FN2r gearknob looks awesome to

Thanks to all for actually seeing my joke... i'll be here till tuesday

Using a good quality transmission fluid fixes the problem too. I use MOTYLGEAR 75W90 Synthetic Gearbox Oil - 1 Litre 3170/CZ.

Never had any issues. Fitting a torque damper or stronger engine mounts is a must for track use. Gear selection under heavy braking can be tricky.

hhmmm... i think this is another one of those touchy subjects that some people are going to go with one things... and others with another... myself... i'll be using OEM... after having experiance with Redline shockproof light wieght super ghey gearbox oil... DON'T USE IT (specially you monty as your car is a tracker)

so dont use redline? i was gonna do my change soon and heard all the mericanas say that redline works? so does it still crunch? what i had done today was sprayed some wd40 in the clutch area in the engine..

and no more crunch.. and the clutch doesnt squeeek anymore suprisingly its like.. sick ass.. hahahaha

maybe try that.. i know its only temporary but imma keep doing it over and over again hahahahhaha.. till honda finds a fix
