Broken rear mount causes tranny to crack

so i didnt use the 6 speed rear mount...

this caused the automatic rear mount bracket to snap in half and strip one of the bolt guides in the block.

the weight of the engine caused the tranny case to bear the weight of the engine on the mounting points. The weight caused the case to break where the bolts slide into.

have to pay for classes on monday so the car will be out of commision for a couple of weeks

Phee, good luck with the repairs man! It's nice to know we got another soldier running around un a UA5 6MT

phee

iTrader: (5)

oh yea. it sucks seeing her sit in the driveway collecting dust. it hasnt rained in a while so the damn car is billiantly shiny

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

why that sucks having to by another tranny possibly, could you take pictures maybe, so we can see exactly where the tranny cracked

also i bet it broke when you had dropped the clutch too, then the tranny slammed into the rear crossmember which then cracked it from the impact

phee

iTrader: (5)

actually it diddnt break that way. the rear bracket broke because it was for the automatic. this caused the transmission to crack ONLY where the bolt goes. nothing is wrong witht he tranny. i just need to replace the case. so all is well.

oh yea, and the REAL 6 speed mount and bracket

so is it leaking fluid then ,
but yeah i was going to say the case itself is replaceable but it does require a bit of labour to do it though

also i did not see you post this like 10 days ago , and i have not read everything yet, so what tranny was it, a tl or cl one, or god forbid an accord one without the lsd

We tried to tell you...


Read the bold from his post

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

it could still leak and be fine, especially since he proably pulled right over, so it never had a chance to do damage to the tranny from low fluid, also it could still have a slow drip to it

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

also why am i still thinking that it is still 09 , so disregard the bold, but i have not seen this thread before though

phee

iTrader: (5)

yeah yeah yeah.


im doing it the right way now. many other have been using the auto. guess i was unlucky. i do drive hard though

how did you keep your IMRC valve stuck open? i just found out that we need some extra thing to control the actuator so i'm just going to keep it open and think about getting an rpm switch in the future.

i wanna know what vtec really feels like!! (im hoping theres a drastic difference)

fsttyms1

That wont activate vtec. Maybe NSXNEXT can help you activate the IMRC with a RPM switch. He had one.

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

I know, but since ive had this engine my IMRC has been closed during vtec, i'm hoping i'll see some extra power with it open like its supposed to be (even though its supposed to open at 4100rpm)

fsttyms1

Why is it closing once vtec hits? (how do you know) What are you using right now to control it?

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

it's closed all the time, after reading an old thread on it, you can test it by pulling on the throttle cable and checking if it opens at 4100rpm. I did the test and it didn't open. according to civicdrvr there's a separate module that controls it that the ecu sends a signal to. Is this correct?

iTrader: (8)

^correct. its located on the drivers side kick panel by the hood latch lever. thats what i read

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

yea I didn't install that for my swap so no imrc opening. I just want to keep it stuck open, I remember reading phee doing this but he didn't say how

phee

iTrader: (5)

there are two nuts that hold the cable in place right by the imrc. i spun the nuts to the edge of the thread and tightened it. this essentially pulls the cable all the way and keeps it open

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

thank you sir i did it and i can definitely feel a difference in higher rpms

to the 6 speeders. maybe stupid random question, but do you guys get the tranny whine when car starts momentum? or is that only on the A/Ts? just curious.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

never noticed any whine

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

Nope but I do get a hell of alot of vibrations. No homo

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

what do you mean by whine?

assclown

iTrader: (1)

haha, well ever since i've owned my car (august 06) when you start to accelerate with load at lower speeds, you can hear a lower pitched whining noise, sounds like a quieter version of "straight cut gears"

i'm sure you've guys have heard it, was just curious if the 6spd does that too?

phee

iTrader: (5)

mine dont

phee

iTrader: (5)

check ur fluid

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

check for supercharger

phee

iTrader: (5)

x2. it could have grown in your engine bay

fsttyms1

ALL of my autos and my manual didnt/dont do that.

NSXNEXT

iTrader: (2)

Would love to help but I never got mine to work right. It opens at the correct rpm but it never closes. I've tried just about everything.

I need to go and mess with it again. Right now I have it open like Phee does.

iTrader: (1)

sorry it took me a while, i just kept forgetting to bring my camera with me to the car....

you'll have to listen closely for the "whine" but i'm just driving normal and conservative.

iTrader: (1)

phee

iTrader: (5)
