First I would like to thank anyone who can give me some insight into this in advance this has been a real P.I.A.
Ok here goes
Had a friend call and ask if I could install a new clutch in their 2012 civic si
After a good bit of harping on burning a clutch out with less than 30000 miles i agreed to do it
never done a front wheel drive clutch before figured it wouldnt be that big of a deal
haha holy disassemble the entire front end batman
ok so i followed the procedure got the the old clutch assembly out
ordered a slighlty lighter flywheel ( 9 pounds ) stage 1 clutch kit from ACS for a decent price came with the bearing ,pilot bushing ,alignment pin got every thing bolted back on had a little trouble with getting the transaxles stabbed back in put it all back together
went for first test ride through the neighborhood
every thing worked great shifted nice and smooth but never got past forth gear
so i went back to the garage and did a quick visual , checked the mount bolts and such just to be safe
everything looked good i did get a little more tourqe on the wheel well mount
then set out to tske it on the highway
every thing still was running smooth till it was time to go to 5th gear at about 40 mph (taking it easy Breaking the in new clutch)
5th gear was nowhere to be found
it was /is like there is a skip plate blocking it tried to go back to fourth to bring the speed up a little and every damn sensor in the book starts lighting up on the imid check VSA check emissions, tpms , abs ,power steering, then the car goes into limp mode and i can no longer go past 3000 rpms and the engine starts runnung like crap and idling erratically then loses power even under 3000 rpm and the engine light starts blinking
Damn !!!!!
so get back and run my scanner the only codes i get are misfire cyl 1234 and random misfire like 14 pending and four permanent
I've gone through the idle reteach procedure
Disconnected the battery re-plugged all the sensors while it was disconnected
still cant get the trans to shift into fifth or sixth gear even with the engine off
was thinkin/ hoping that may be part of limp mode ?
the car runs great and shifts smooth up to when its time to go to 5th gear then
starts the light show and rough idle again
does limp mode lock out 5th /6th gear on these cars ?
is there another learn procedure for the ecu that i need to do?
as far as I know everything worked before the clutch went out
I will say the clutch was completely toasted and was no longer making contact
but was told it was still going into gear
(Woman driver lol )
sorry for the long story
hope i covered all the bases lol
Please HELP need this car out of my garage so i can work on other things
Thanks again
