:icon17: nope for sure its the Apple Jacks tonight :iagree:

-Clifford :tiphat:

and probably swap bushings too.. :ugh: cause diff bushing may EW .. :ugh:

Madwi talked up the RJI assembly to give a better window of engaugement. 1-2 can still be tricky at times.

27 more minutes to TV time. :p

:icon17: was a great cardio workout tonight boy's and girl's :tup:

I'm happy :iagree:

-Clifford :tiphat:

the trick to smoothing out 1-2 shift is to engage 1st at a higher rpm from stand still, or let it slip longer. it's directly related how u modulate the throttle.

ur civic SI's making u into a lazyarse clutcher.. :ugh:

:icon18: i didnt think ud see my post cause :postwhore: u on fire tonight.

most often newb z drivers engage 1st gear too low rpm... then throttle up but then need to release throttle for 2nd and by dat time u got a mess of flywheel spin (inertia) to deal with.

engage 1st from like 2k rpm (when the tach is horizontal) and count ichi-nee-san while u engage.

Sorry, what? My Si has an actual clutch pedal? I thought i was simply hulk smashing my wheel well anytime I wanted to shift. I love the Z having feeling and power behind every shift.

How was the Fits clutch? Did it carry any weight whatsoever? I can't even feel the Si's at times because it basically weighs less than a butterfly to engage.

u'll be surprised how smoothly you accelerate from standstill, and how easy it is to setup for the 1-2 shift.

I know how to driver Kernchan haha. 1-2 2-3 don't kill me anymore. But having a smoother shift experience is always nice. I think jar got the assembly also.

the fit's clutch is light and engages a tad higher than my other 3 cars. but it's consistent. the issue with the honda tranny is the gates. grinds when cold.

i dont think u do cause my 1-2 shifts are smooth on the Z. and no other tools needed.

WELL CONGRATULATIONS KENCHAN :gtfo2:

Grinds? Mine only does that upon startup on cold days. Sounds like metal on metal. Scared em at first. Then I remembered i owned a POS Si and stopped caring. 5th gear needs a nice smack at times to go into gear though.

the wise will listen to the kenchan... cause i only speak from experience.

They're smooth for me also, but the engagement point just feels awkward. Idk, I guess it's just a personal preference thing. I'd prefer a smooth transition instead of an on/off switch at times.

And entertrollment purposes.

Remember, you don't rep no moar

yep, going into the gates in colder days it grinds some times.

u got that right. so u do listen. lol

have a enjoyable evening Mr Ken

great word's tonight = being happy is healthy :tup:

-Clifford :tiphat:

i thought your 1-2 shift wasnt smooth. never mind then.

Meh. I drift in and out of my own conversations at times :eekdance:

:hello:

yah, im just being lazy and making up excuses. :rofl2:

wait wat were u talking about? ;)

When I first got the car, I was jerky as hell. Learned the engagement points and now all is smooth. I just don't care for the transition when engaging. Feels like an on and off switch.

oh yah, i do use the voltage multiplier in my Z. so i do use tools. :ugh:

but dat wasnt for my shifting... more for throttle response.

Cheater :gtfo2:

yah, u have to go real slow at the sweet spot. but the good thing for me is dat after my fit is gone, all 3 of my cars engage low to the floor.

No more clicking ankle helps also i am sure

:eekdance:

not my fault the Z's throttle lags.. weird cause my G's throttle is instantaneous .

yah most definitely. i seriously thought id have to sell my cars this Spring. :eekdance: glad i dont.

while that IS350F-Sport is nice, ive been telling my wife from the getgo, it's a car she should get and let me drive on the weekends.

or even the IS200t.. cause she dont care about power. but no~ she likes her fit cause pos, dont need to care. :D

:hello:

be safe and be happy Mr Ken :tup:

-Clifford :tiphat:

she's afraid dat i'd get upset if she damaged a nice car...

thanks, mr.clifford. :hello:

and thank you Mr Ken :tup:
