For god sakes don't go and buy another complete transmission. Have the tranny taken to a reputable rebuild shop since it's out, it probably needs a ring and bearing kit and a health check / magnet cleaning. Take the clutch case (the part of the transmission that the clutch fork attaches to) to...

Ran a 12.92 in my NSX. headers / exhaust / NSX-R gears and standard weight. 1991 with 90k miles. Sumitomo HTZ II's 400 tread wear street tyres. Consistently. Clutch at the time was OS Gilken twin disk.

Hmmmmm do I need an excuse to drive my car 516 miles? maybe =)

Thanks for all the replies and pictures! Many good ideas!

I've steered away from off the shelf engine degreasers for a while. I noticed big time that a degreaser, especially on exposed aluminum will leave white haze and very ugly marks even on a cold engine. It might just be my personal experience though. Generally I'll use a 1:4 ratio of simple green...

Rockauto.com The only thing about this site is you can get really cheap parts that won't last, or you can get some pretty high dollar stuff. For example, when looking for brake rotors (stock replacement) the prices range form 20$ a rotor all the way up to Stop Tech drilled / slotted rotors...

Had this exact problem on my 91 at around 94k miles. Order a speed sensor form rock auto, but scroll down the list to get the better quality items. should run you about 120-150$ and it takes 15 minutes to replace. Easy! AIRTEX / WELLS Part # 5S4594

Good morning Prime! Well... once you fix one thing something else always seems to pop up on older cars right? Developed a misfire today while driving to work after driving completely fine yesterday. My first suspicion is water since it rained like it hasn't rained in a while during a massive...

Yeah I read up on it for the last hour or so. Just ordered a bottle =)

Hmm I'll have to order a bottle of this and give it a shot. Thanks for the reply! hahaha nothing wrong with that. I do like seeing some super clean OCD cars, but mine likes to be driven thousands of miles a year =) Hmm well I haven't noticed any degradation of rubber lines under the hood of...

Hello prime! Time to pick your brains again. I have a good deal of knowledge regarding the regular detailing of the exterior/interior parts of any car, you know, wash with 3 buckets, treat the paint like you would your skin, foam washes / wax every 4-6 months etc. But what about the engine...

Bench bleeding the MC is a must like Larry pointed out. I just installed the RL BBK and used the 25 dollar hand pump bleeder from harbor Freight. Worked like a charm and comes with a 100 ml cup that attaches to the vacuum lines. I bled RR - RF -LR- LF twice over and got a firm pedal. To do a...

don't kill the conspiracy!!

I purchased the seibon type-r hood in 2013 and actually noticed a 1/10 bar temp drop without the radiator duct (don't have it made yet). I have noticed not cooling issues with the hood as far as AC is concerned. Just took it on a 200 mile adventure this weekend with some autocross thrown in. AC...

I'm a little late tot he game but I went form the OS Gilken twin disk tot he EXEDY hyper single with the chromoly flywheel. the OS gilken was around 29 LBS or so and the EXEDY was a hair over 19 if I remember. And a good price. Revs were noticeably faster as well as throttle response. The only...

It still doesn't create positive case pressure. But nonetheless 300 miles in a week and no leaks. All is well in the world again. 300 to go to 100k =D

Sorry for the resurrection of an old thread but I'm BACK! I't has been a year and only 150 unhappy miles put on the 91 but for the third time the trans has been removed, I found the problem which confirmed my suspicion all along. There was a small gouge in the trans near the LSD side dowel...

Hello prime! With the recent detonation of my factory clutch (defective springs) the trans developed a leak from inside the clutch housing face ( I thought it was the input shaft seal ) just before the clutch died. So I'm looking for a clutch case and possibly an input shaft for a 5 speed. I...

Ring and bearing kit / syncros were all done. I just let the car sit and run for about 20 mins untill operating temp was achieved. no leak. So it only happens when the trans gets warm. I wish there was an easy way to diagnose this. *edit. well at least the shop said they were done.... *edit...

I'm as sure as the day I got married, so, 90% sure its trans fluid. I kid...... But I use royal purple motor oil, changed the oil before the trans was filled with Honda OEM clear trans axle fluid. It also has that distinct gear oil smell that I unknowingly wore as cologne all day yesterday...

SOunds plausible. It only begins to leak after a 12-15 minute warm up. Is the vent on the top of the trans?

Hello Prime, It has been a few months since I last posted. I finally got the rebuilt 5 speed back from the shop last week with a ring / bearing / syncro rebuild due to the transmission developing a leak after the clutch went out. Unfortunately, the transmission is still leaking from inside the...

yes I am quite curious as well. From what I've heard on an ITB'd vehicle the tune needs to be adjusted when changing altitudes and temperatures vary drastically. Is there any merit to this claim? How I view ITB's on an ECU controlled setup, is the ECU can still control AFR variables to a...

I'm no expert by any means of the word but, I always recommend to anyone trying to loosen bolts on older vehicles, soak she shit out of the bolts you are going to remove in PBblast or and equivalent for at least one hour, or longer re-spraying every 20 mins or so. It can be found at any parts...

Yes, yes it does. I got very depressed when I saw the drip from the trans at the Chevron station. This car is literally my drug, I've been so bummed out over the last month and was sooo happy driving the car for only 4 miles, then, instant depression when I pulled back in the garage and removed...
