    Metallic screech/squeak under load @ 2500 rpm on my Prelude

    No, the 5 speed in the prelude is a pretty good transmission. The only "flaw" in it is a slight grind in 5th gear (which I think is caused by people jamming it into reverse. I'm easy on it and if it won't go in I will let the clutch out and try again. I have yet to experience this issue). You...

    My TROOPER - Now with pics ;)

    I've never owned a trooper before, but when I had my rodeo these forums had a bit of useful information: http://forum.planetisuzoo.com/ Good luck, that should be a blast in the winter!

    Metallic screech/squeak under load @ 2500 rpm on my Prelude

    Hey guys, This isn't about my supra, but rather my 2001 Honda Prelude SH (my DD). Not sure why there is so much distaste towards Hondas on here, but I love mine even if it has no torque ;). I've been having a noise for a while now and I can't track it down. Exactly at 2500 rpms I can hear...

    Which Radiator is better?

    I've been thinking about getting the PWR radiator. It is a little more expensive than the others, but I've heard it has slightly better cooling capacity. Is this true?

    935 motorsports

    I had the same experience. I ordered a couple of 3" exhaust flanges from them, after 5 days I heard nothing. Emailed them, they said their credit card processor was down and would have to process the payment via paypal. I replied to their email (willing to use paypal), and then heard nothing...

    New dyno results: (627hp / 574tq) GT4088

    Nice numbers! I'm trying to decide whether I want to go with a GT35R or a GT4088. What kind of gains would you expect with some headwork at this level? (if any)

    Hitting fuel cut... Help?

    I would guess boost leak. It's seems too coincidental that your turbo would go bad right after replacing IC piping. With a boost leak you will hit fuel cut at a lower reading on your gauge because air is leaking out, but the turbo still has to push all of that air through.

    Oil Catch Can

    http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100620 I'm no expert in this area, but after looking at countless ways of plumbing the catch can, jdub's solution seems the most correct (and efficient) to me. It keeps all of the factory design aspects intact.

    Transmission leak

    Mine was leaking from the rear transmission seal. I believe it was because the yoke had a little corrosion on it (it was swapped from auto by the previous owner). So I just replaced it with an aluminum single piece, replaced the seal and it was all better. You will know it's the rear...

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    Everything is finished now and it's working great, so I figured I would update the thread. An impact gun made easy work of the diff bolts :icon_bigg. The driveshaft yoke ended up being a little corroded (I'm not sure why, maybe it was like that after the auto->manual swap by the previous owner)...

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    I think I'm just going to take the 4 bolts out. I've tried forever to get them out, but whoever installed the driveshaft last REALLY torqued them down good. I'm going to see if some air tools will help right now. And don't worry, I'm really a safety freak...I double check everything before I...

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    Yeah, I'm sure I only had like 1/2 inch more to go then then it would have come out of the transmission. Maybe I should try rotating the rear wheels a little to give the driveshaft a little more play to drop farther (if that makes any sense).

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    OK, so I got a toyota seal from the dealership and I am trying to drop the driveshaft now. Can I just unbolt the carrier bearing and pull it out of the transmission? I tried that and it didn't quite drop far enough to come fully out of the transmission. The four bolts connecting it to the diff...

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    Thanks, that was simple. Should I just get this from a Toyota dealership or is there a better place to source them? I have refilled it once with some cheap autozone fluid to keep the level topped off. It's been leaking since I got the car, but I don't drive it much (only on the nice weekends...

    R154 transmission leak from the rear

    My transmission seems to be leaking fluid from the rear right where the driveshaft goes into the transmission. I only have a small puddle when it sits after driving, but it has blown all over the underbody and exhaust from leaking while driving. I plan on pulling the driveshaft this week to see...

    My introduction

    Hey, my name is Andy and I live in Ohio. I am currently in the market for an MKIII project car (hopefully turbo 5 speed) that my brother and I will work on. I currently own a 2001 prelude sh (which I will still keep as my DD), and as much as I love that car, I would like to have a RWD car with...
