What did you do to your Gen7 today?

[Mike]

Got my wetpaint from lavalleemike Group buy (Thanks Mike) .. I wetpainted my whole car.. shiny as hell...

Rolo your welcome.


Left mine in the driveway, due to a loss of third gear. It will be getting dropped off at my local dealer tonight now I have to make the call to the warranty company that should be really fun.

how did you loose third gear?

[Mike]

It just doesn't shift into third starts slipping and whinig. I had to limp home with it in second. I'm going to limp it to the dealer this afternoon.

What problems are you having?

Resistance the whole way when pressing the clutch.  The clutch engages really low (about 25-30% up) even though the clutch push rod has been adjusted to the maximum length.

Anyone else get a weird squeaking sounds from the clutch pedal?

Yes.  It always happens when it's raining.

got crackins sound when i let go of the clutch and i guess ill be replacing master cylinder as well. anybody got DIY on that?

I don't have a DIY, but I have gone through the replacement for this with Skippy a few times.  It's nothing horrible to do, but you do have to know a few tricks to get it out, like removing the brake master cylinder to get better access to the clutch master cylinder.

is clutch dampner on master cilinder as well? if yes maybe its good idea to "remove" it while you there?

You just replace the clutch master cylinder as one piece.  It's #7 on this picture.  The i4 and V6 clutch master cylinder is the same part BTW.

Yeah, mine usually happens when its moist outside. think i'll look into this tomorrow.

[Jellynuts]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

lol.  Yeah...  That was my reaction, only I had a, 'What the,' in front.

Took the tires into Costco today, where I got them.  They replaced them all under warrantee!  I just had to pay for the percentage of what I used the old tires for.

I'm just glad the car didn't get keyed!

what i dont get is how i have problem only at high rpm shifts and not all the time. maybe i have to bleed it again or something, i didnt bleed master cylinder,

my friend connected his air tool thing to my bleeder screw on slave cylinder and i just kept pouring brake fluid into sleve cylinder(#18) untill old fluid was out. i guess that doesnt bleed master clutch cylinder

[timot_one]

Misha, #18 is the resovior that goes to the clutch master cylinder.  Your friend flushed the entire system, not just the slave cylinder.  It just happens that the slave cylinder is where the bleeder valve is for your hydraulic clutch.  It is exactly what I did on Sunday also, with no change also.  If you're unsure that it is the clutch master cylinder, then take it to Honda to have it diagnosed.

Replaced the primary o2 sensor on my sedan!  I thought I would have to take this to my buddy's muffler shop to get it torched off like a couple members on this forum but I though that it won't hurt to take a crack at it.  

Went to Auto Zone, rented an o2 removal wrench with a 1/2" driver socket.  Attached my 20" breaker bar and soaked the o2 with some liquid wrench for about 15 minutes.  Found out you can't really wrench on the sensor too hard because the flex pipe allows way too much movement.  So I put one hand on the muffler pipe to keep it from moving and one hand on the breaker bar.  I really didn't expect to be able to remove it but it came loose with relatively little force!  

I was super happy that I didn't have to pay anyone to take it off!  Then it was just a matter of unscrewing the old sensor off and replacing it with a new one.  It's much easier to disconnect the wire from the engine with the car back on the ground so I lowered it, removed the old wire and plugged the new one in.  

I pulled the battery for about 10 minutes, started the car and alas!  Check engine light is off!  Took her to Costco for some groceries and a full tank of gas and no issues!!

I also replaced the J-pipe exhaust hanger on Gen's 6MT coupe which was torn when the Richie J-pipe was put in.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

replaced my broken wheel stud. now i have all 5 wheel nuts on.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

my problem gona bug me now. what can it be, if it was bad master cilinder why does it only do it at at high rpm shifts
or can it actualy be clutch going on its way  out

[Blackhawk]

Cleaned the shit out of it. Vacuum, leather treatment, wash, tire dressing. Saving wet paint for the weekend.

[Mike]

My new rear brake set up came in last night. Brembro blanks, and Hawk HPS pads it's just to bad I don't have the car to put them on.

[suleman_manji]
