Took my CL-S for a ride around the block today...car was warmed up and was driving real nice. Had my dad in the passenger seat and decided to let it rip down a straight rode with 0% traffic lol

Now, the car has Comptech headers and a AEM coldair. So without using the tiptronic i gave it all the way to 5500RPM and let it shift...not only did it shift into 2nd, the front left tire chirped so hard it left rubber and i did have the traction control off.

Now is this a normal thing or can i never do it again?

Ive punched this car before and it never did it...

let me know if this is normal or just a fluke.


Its a 2001 BTW

there may have been some grit on the road which will decrease traction.

Or it could just be a fluke who knows

Robbie does your car spin 2nd gear?

MrFluffy

Mine chirps second all the time and even with 225 potenzas tires brand new, but ever since I got my new tranny it doesnt do it any more maybe something to think about !

98JDMCL

^ ohhhh really...maybe i should be careful when jamming on it eh.

MrFluffy

I don't know If it has anything to do with the tranny but it is a weird quintessence

98JDMCL

thanks Mr.Fluffy, now im scared lol

MrFluffy

sorry, I had a year and half before mine went

98JDMCL

a 6 speed will do it all day

98JDMCL

sadly it will lol

Nicks01CL-S

i have brand new tires too. also i had be on the dragon all day those tires were hot and sticky to they have a 180 trad wear. so i dont know what was up. but ya ever since i got my new trans last year it does it more and more here and there. but i have to be hard it in for it to do it. probly means ill be at acura soon getn a new trans...only been 35K since my last one

MrFluffy

210k km Im not saying you need a new trans but I would check the fluid to se how it looks for sure

and I would hope the 6 speed would do more than spin a lil in second it should smoke the tires in second and spin a lil in 3rd LOL

Wait, so your car shifted at 5500 rpm when you floored it??

yea if u chirp the tires going from 1st to second i think it's more related to the trans not shifting smooth.

com to think of it, it only happened to my car with the old michelin MXM4 tires on which had 30% tread and i was on my original trans then.

I chirped the tires before even getting headers back then.... now it's not noticeable. maybe because the tires don't chirp cause they are new... but even going all the way up to 7 when shifting into 2nd, I still cannot make it chirp.

And the car pulls HARD.. so it not because my car is underpowered

98JDMCL

Ahhhh yes.


Im going to check my fliuds asap and my acura to change it once i bring it out.

it perfectly fine. the trans is grabbing fast and hard, just how it should be when u go WOT. my tl-s chirps all the time into second (when the fucker isnt misfiring). a it all stock.

98JDMCL

Well this makes me feeel 250X better lol


The car drives perfect, i didnt think the tranny was going.


Its not like its slipping, its grabbing...hard!


THANKS MAN!

teh CL

MrFluffy

Like I said they better being doing a little more than chirping unless your talking about 2-3

Nersh7

with my six speed I have to be careful not to chirp the tires when I punch it

iTrader: (1)

wait this guy has a auto and its chirping on shifts? i dont think thats normal... i punch my cl-p auto and it doesnt chirp....

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

theirs ur problem.

my tl-s does it all the time. my cl-s6 will peel out through 2nd

cu0ngsayz

iTrader: (1)

ahhh.... i see so youre saying a auto cl-s can chirp on a auto in second too?

nspec_ya4

iTrader: (38)

every now and then, auto's will chirp in second, but really depends on conditions, road, temperature.

there's a road here locally where u can probably make an 86 auto civic chirp in second gear for a couple of seconds.

mine loses traction reaching 4k rpm.

Nicks01CL-S

cl-s auto with mods..

MrFluffy

Thats more like it

BTW I dont believe you I need to see video proof of that LOL

Ive chirped second in an auto before, but the conditions have to be just right to do it. I chirp third now though, so I can understand your excitement

CL-S progression 01

I seen videos of a CL-6 destroying 2nd gear... I feel bad for the tires. It makes perfect sense you can peel through that gear. it's WAY shorter than the auto 2nd gear, u got more WHP due to the manual trans, and u can pop the clutch and get those tires to break loose extremely easy.

the things i'd do if I have a cl-6


as for the auto:

i never said the trans is on it's way out if u can chirp when u shift... I'm just saying the engagement is obviously rougher and that is what leads to the tires breaking loose.

many things can attribute to it.... turning the wheel a bit while WOT may induce wheel slippage, trans engaging roughly, debris on the ground, or simple fluke... all of the above can lead to the wheels chirping.

I think there is a general misconception that if the tires chirp that's is faster than if it were not to chirp. I do not think this is the case.

the wheel chirp is due to trans engagment and not overall power.

also why ppl with stock motors can chirp their tires more than people such as myself with many mods.

so I'd have to say it's not power related per se

There's a local CL-6 for sale on kijiji....sounds like a really good deal.

lol sall good I'm keeping my car. it's problemless..

and I don't feel like getting a whole new car with a whole new set of issues.


I got everything the way i want it on my CL I got now so i'm just fine.

And I got tickets up the yin yans so i couldn't afford to get another ticket which a CL-6 is much more likely to get me :-)

98JDMCL

^ Robbie, all that is very true...

I was just seeing if it was normal since i dont drive it alot

Andrew is the car blue? If so its a US car.
