I posted this in the Integra forum, but I know a ton of guys around here have b series swaps from Integras in their civics, so I was hoping one of you guys could help me...thanks a lot.

my guess would be the clutch... or get the clutch adjusted. perhaps the clutch line that is loose.

 

I doubt its a totally burnt clutch, just because the car only has 70k on it, and I know how long Honda clutches last.....maybe it just needs to be adjusted like you said.

 

Hydraulic clutches are self-adjusting for wear.

 

Inspyral, I know you really know your stuff...have any ideas?

 

My guess is a dying clutch. Either your friction disc is worn below the service limit, or there's something wrong with the pressure plate. Exacly how high do you need to rev it in order for it to engage? If you're comfortable with dropping trannies and swapping clutches, an OEM clutch kit is only about $100 and includes a new p/p, disc, pilot bearing, and release bearing.

 

if you're on a flat surface, you've got to rev it up to maybe 3k-4k...on a hill, maybe 5 or 6k.

 

i agree with inspyral

 

Someone else told me that it might be the pressure plate as well...How hard is that to fix?

 

You need to pull the tranny, and while you're at it, you should replace the disc, pilot bearing, and release bearing as well.
