Yep the vibration is felt through the car. I have sort of developed a technique to minimize the shudder on takeoff: rev to 1500rpm and swiftly release clutch as revs drop a bit before full engagement. Feathering the clutch while manoeuvering the car in parking lots or driving in trafic will...

As an update, I performed the procedure with center mount bolts as explained above. The result is that shudder remains but mounts do a better job of reducing the transmission of the vibration to the chassis. For me this is not satisfactory. As a side note, I noticed that engaging first gear...

Thanks. What size tapered punch would be appropriate to attempt the alignment job?

The 1997-2005 WSM shows that a tapered punch should be used to align the subframe to body. Anybody has performed the alignment, if so what did you use?

Thanks Honcho. My only concern about not supporting the engine is the right side mount which has, contrary to the other 3 mounts, a vertical center bolt. Also I had previously understood that once center bolts are loose the engine had to be manoeuvred up/down so that the rear mount bolt is...

I knew that incorrect motor mount torque sequence could result in excessive and uncontrolled drivetrain movement. In fairness, the WSM isn't clear about the proper sequence, but it states that noise and vibration can result. However I was under the impression that only the 3.0 twin disc clutch...

Anybody with the body supplement to the WSM can tell me what's the part number for the rear subframe alignment pins? I think it is 070AG-SJAA10S but I'd rather be sure.

Update: I had the car put up on the lift to inspect through the clutch case cover. Using a boroscope camera fitted between the flywheel and the case, I confirmed that all 3 guide pins are where they should be in terms of clearance as shown in the manual, and that the wave washer disc is on the...

Thanks everyone. The Honda urea grease was used, I'll enquire with the mechanic about how much was used. If he remembers. With regards to the input shaft bearing, it was replaced along with other angular bearings (5 in total) in the transmission. Are we on to something here? I found out that...

Sure is possible, but quoting LarryB: Did you initialize the clutch? If not, start there, if it is not initialized it will not disengage, and not go into gear..... No such problem here, goes in/out of gear normally.

My 1991 had its first clutch change last year at 92K miles. Although it didn't slip, a slight vibration at the bite point in first gear was diagnosed as a worn flywheel, and frequent resistance in getting the shift lever out of gear was a sign of clutch trouble to come. The time was right to go...

Looking for intermediate shaft, mostly interested in 2 support pieces in good shape, but will take whole assembly. Thanks!

Anybody knows the difference between the NA1 and NA2 brake boosters? I see different numbers for 91-96 and 97-05 (cutoff is not 2000 so I assume ABS is not part of the equation). NA1 booster: 46400SL0951NA2 booster: 46400SL0J02

I understand this may change in the coming days as websites are updated, but so far I'm releived to see only minor increases of 1-3%. If the rumored hikes turn out to be much smaller, it will be excellent news for all of us.

Does anyone know whether the different versions of the Comptech headers for 3.0 and 3.2 are different designs or the 3.0 application is the same as the 3.2 + extensions? If so, are these extensions still available? I can't seem to find info on the CT engineering website. Thanks,
