Ok.... I got it all figured Out

Tuaca05 was thinking I was Normally Shifting at 22000 rpms
so naturally 2000 would be too low

Refer to page 2

:D :yes: :D :yes: :D

Err, not to be contrary, but I don't think any mechanical engineer would think you're normally shifting at 22k RPM in a production car, as very few even reach the double-digit thousands without basically self-destructing, and the Civic is not one of them ;)

Ahh..... But he's only a Engineering Major.. as Am I .. And I am the Idiot who told everyone I was shifting 22,000 rpms.... and besides I was only joking

Hey whats up all. I'm D and I'm new to HS. I figured this would be the best board to post on cuz my civic was the first 5 speed I had ever driven. I am the proud owner (well I'm makin the payments every month to own the car) of a 2001 EX eternal blue Civic. I LOVE it :kiss:!!! The morning after I got my car I had to drive it to work. Keep in mind I never drove stick before....it was a LONG drive to work that day. Now I'm a "pro" haha...compared to my friends I am! and 94_Accord_EX...you are so right...I hate drivin automatics now. NEVER again for me!!!

Welcome to HS D

I've had plenty of those Long Drives to Work =)

Happy honda'ing

:yes: :yes:
YES !!!! I'm just proud that when the monthly announcements came out I had started the Post with both the Most replies AND the Least (0)

I'm just all teared up ;(

Come on man, don't whore it up.

I'm not a whore ...



I just get around :eek:

Just so you know, all clutches are diff so you'll have to get used to it. Whenever you start to feel some power behind the gas pedal, let off more on the clutch and give more gas. And as far as what 94_AcCoRd_EX said about keeping your foot off the clutch while driving, that is key. Its riding your clutch and its a great way to burn that thing up. Enjoy your honda!!!

Yea.. I heard that , riding you clutch was bad, and by all means, i just rest my foot on the foot rest,

But what exactly does it do... I really can't see the great harm on putting a little pressure on the clutch ?!?!?!?!?

It causes friction between the plates in the clutch, which wears them down. This friction is what allows your car to start, as the mechanical energy put out by your engine is converted to partial thermal energy (becuase of the friction) and the rest is mechanical energy sent to the wheels.
