Woah damn. 5.8 secs! Unbelievable man. That's some great work you've done. Hopefully you can get the 6th gear issue resolved.
Cheers man, and yeah gonna get the mechanic to have a look over
Hey man, I think you left a D tend ball bearing out, which is used to keep the fingers in place. The torque just slides it out.
I can't believe the 0 to 100 time. That 80's supercar territory.
Fast as amg's of that era. Im really impressed
Aight cheers for letting me know man - I didn't install it but I'll suggest it to the mechanic when he tries to remedy the problem. And yeah! She's a rocket
I had the exact same issue, but on the stock 2.4 Accord gearbox. 6th gear was popping out on its own seconds after I engaged it. Turned out that the previous owner had put a non oem transmission fluid which messed up the synchro on 5-6th gear.
I consulted with a shop which handles gearbox repairs and they advised me to get a second hand gearbox and swap it. I still regret missing the opportunity to swap it with something with shorter gears, but I didn't know at the time. Good luck with fixing yours!
Cheers for the advice!
Love what you're doing with this Accord. I have the ICTDI here in the UK, which has great torque but tuning is limited and expensive. Hoping to get a job closer to home so I can stop thinking about MPG and grab a K24. Manual 2.4's are getting increasingly rare, especially a Type S. Can see these cars creeping up in value in years to come
I just picked up one of 3 in NZ!
Nice man, will be checking out a diesel one soon so will deliver my verdict on the N22 vs K24 just for you!
Yeah they are very rare in the UK, I managed to find one after about 1 year of looking around. Bought my 2.4 Type S Manual in July last year, only 49,000 miles on the clock too! Keep looking I'm sure you'll find one soon.
just bought a 2006 Accord Euro lux and loving the modification videos, exactly what i wanna do to mine, is my first car and got it to learn manual in but its very underrated and wanna put some pace into it
Nice man!
You've convinced me to buy one of these over an fn2
Cool man! They're a bit boring stock but once you mod them they're a great chassis
Cl9 is a good choice but remember you have to spend a decent amount of money on suspension and engine to compete with a type r, with the current market you'll need to pay 10k+ for clean manual cl9 so keep that in mind
But in the end, CL chassis is true Japan made.
@@thatpersiandude7386 in the UK you can get one of these for about £2000 but you are right, you'd still have to spend a lot just to get it to keep up. I'm really stuck between the two cars
@@muhammadmore i've had both bro, biggest issues with cl9 was the regular seats and the gearbox, stock gears are very long compared to Fn2 or even ep3. They don't rev as high either.
I swear I never get notifications from you lol very cool to watch your vids
Cheers man haha
Love your vids man. Keep it up. Can you look to install a rsp intake with j35 throttle body in future?
Cheers man, maybe, atm I just wanna get the Type R gears working
good vid mate.. i got a cl7 euro r about to do a bit of work to it.. intake exhaust ecu and a reflash :D hopefully can get it sounding nice like this :)
Cheers man
I own a CL9 Executive ( not the type s ) so it has a sunroof and electric seats.
A week after i bought it i installed the serge bo reflash, and a month after his 421 header, cancelled the intake resonator and it's good to go.
Almost any gearset swap has issues with the 6th gear because the bearings don't match, and usually the gearsets or gearboxes you find are outrageously expensive in comparison with any other similar cars, like a clio 2 or 3 RS, and usually have very worn synchros, especially for 1 and 2, because they come out of beater cars that were driven like they were stolen.
In romania there are a couple of builds that got the ep3 gearset, dc5 final drive, lsd's but, all of them had issues and only after they bought another 2 or 3 sets it was ok.
The issue is that a 5.1 fd ratio makes it unusable on the freeway, and all of them have issues on wet or dusty asphalt, they just can't put that power down efficiently.
Mine was always faster on a wet day because the torque at the wheels is more linear.
I did some timings with a cl9 with reflash, 41 header, euroR lsd gearbox, fn2 typer flywheel, and lots of other goodies and for 100 200 they have about the same 20s time because the short ratio does this run in 4 5 6, and the stock cl9 in 3 4 5
The thing is the close ratio is very fun to drive, it doesn't have that gap between 1 and 2, and having close gears makes the shifts faster.
Also a fn2 light flywheel helps for revving faster.
But all in all this car feels best when doing rolling pulls, not from a standstill.
And given the fact that it costs about 2500usd to swap gears and the benefit is minimal, i would rather pay for a memorable Holiday :))
By the way, does your car have that annoying vibration at idle when you engage the climate AC compressor
Hey man cheers for the advice - the synchros are all fine on this set, I just think there was an issue in the install. And no I don't have a vibration at idle
awesome video. please post an update on the description of the video if the problem with 6th gear gets resolved.
Cheers, will do
what a difference in 1st to 2nd, definitely recommend a lightweight flywheel as it makes down shifting and rev matching feel so much better although I don't know if you guys got the same dual mass heavy ass flywheel the TSX got
Yeah I know a lot of people have been recommending that, but personally I'm happy with the stock flywheel and clutch and much clutch is in good shape. Once it wears out then I'll switch it out for a k20 flywheel and clutch
@@KiwiCarLifeAlso If you haven't replaced/upgraded your clutch master cylinder, you should go for it. Also the stock one has clutch delay valve and you can replace it with one from civic without the valve, gives much more direct feel to pedal and the way you can adjust the clutch with your foot is completely different. It is also preventive maintenance since it is a common failure point.
Nice write up keep it coming
My stock gears in the accord type s 2003 K24A3 is really bad
I want to change it
Yeah they're annoying aye
Excellent vid budd. Just to correct your info, the Fn2 comes standard with a 5.06 final drive gear (same as FD2).
Cheers
Change your dendent springs for stiffer ones That should work for your trans popping out of gear!!! It worked for me!!
I see, I'll give that a go
Absolutely loving the content .
Wanted to know if you could keep the 5th and 6th gear from the stock box for cruising ?
In theory yes, although I've had issues mixing the type R and CL9 gears so I dunno...
Sorry to hear about your 6th gear. Since it looks like you’ll be needing to crack open the transmission again, definitely recommend getting a LSD. Drove my brother’s Civic Si and there is a substantial difference in traction even with crappy tires. Also may want to consider putting in a lightweight flywheel as well. There’s a RSX 11.5 lb flywheel from Competition that’s a great balance for enthusiast and daily driving. Mate all of that with a Stage 1 Exedy clutch and you’ll have an even bigger beast.
Yeah looks like I might have to crack it open again so if I do I'll consider doing an LSD - personally I'm ok with the stock flywheel and my clutch is in good shape so I don't think I'll change the flywheel unless my clutch goes
Check that the counterweight on transmission cables doesnt hit anything when you put it in 6th. May just be the problem that its not getting in gear fully...had the same problem with customers ep3, wouldnt go smothyl in 1st gear and popped out because the counterweight hit the CAI. Love the accord by the way, have 2.4 wagon myself.
Yeah cheers will give that a try
Hey bro very good video, have you found out why would throw out the 6th gear? Great channel 👍
Just not compatible
Great stuff mate, faster than the euro r now haha
I'd hope so!
Big thanxs for this Video 😎😉💯 nice Info
All good!
Hey mate that’s a clean Accord 👍 you should do a video comparing it to a Lexus IS250 or IS350
Yeah trying to find someone with one though
You can swap brakes with k24 from 8 gen accord. Huge difference. Bolt on ;) And yes flywheel 4.7 kg much better than 8.2. Mine 2.4 was with even better setup, but now i take Honda accord 9gen coupe V6 :)
Yeah looking at doing the brake swap
Hey @KiwiCarLife I am also from Wellington New Zealand and I have a stock 2006 Accord Euro 6MT. Pretty much the same as yours minus the sunroof and fog lights. Please let me know if you are interested in doing a comparison.
I would! Hit me up on insta @kiwicarlife.yt
There are 3 hollow bolts on the right side of the transmission (if you looking at it fro mthe front) that have a spring and ball bearings inside, these hold the 3 pair gears in gear, check those, might missed something there
Yeah we think that might be the issue
sick video bro! super keen to go for a spin haha. keep up the killer content g.
Cheers mate!
Hey mate. Have you done the throttle body coolant bypass? It's a $5 mod that stops the hot coolant running through the throttle body. It's not needed in climates that don't reach freezing temp.
I'm all set to install it in my cl9. Apparently it's good for a few hp on a hot day by keeping those intake temps down. Love your content. Cheers
Cheers man, no I haven't. Doesn't get too hot here so don't think I'll bother
Hey buds. Fn2 intake and TB. Makes a good difference.. sound also changes a bit
For sure - happy with the power for now though
@@KiwiCarLife enjoy it buds. Love these cars
This is great to know. Here in the states, I swapped my USDM trans with a Euro R trans. The USDM trans basically has the same gearing as your old gearset, in a magnesium casing. Now the Euro R ASP3 trans has the same gearing as the RSX Type S here in the states, plus LSD. It feels like a totally different car. 😊
Cool man! Definitely makes a big difference
@keith Jones was it expensive swap or it cheaper putting type r gear seats like he did? Basically the same thing right?
@@rolldog82 Not sure how much he paid. But I paid 1200 for the trans. The swap was about 250. Since I elected to get another clutch and flywheel, that was a little bit more. Then I also bought fluid. So just under 1800 for everything at the end. The trans was also warrantied for 8,000 miles or 3 months. Whichever came first.
@@Kantoh22 still not bad for that price. Must handle better right
@@rolldog82 Correct. And it accelerates quicker. Launches better as well with LSD.
That black (CL7?) grille really makes the look of this car. Stock CL9 chrome grill is a bit ugly, but the CL9 lower bumper really comes alive with the black grill. What kind of cost was involved in the gearset swap? If I could find myself a manual one of these with lower KMs I'd buy it.
Yeah the Type S grille makes a big difference aye. Labour for the swap was about $500
@@KiwiCarLife only $500? I'm surprised!
Same here in nz what did gearset cost and you didn't think of doing fly at same time
Would love to see it run a 1/4 mile at a track now man! High 13s maybe?
We'll have to see! Might get around to taking it to the drags one day...
@@KiwiCarLife Winter Drag Wars at Meremere at the moment, next event is on the 27th & about 4 more every 2-3 weeks apart. Other than that the summer Night Wars at Meremere are good for a variety of street cars to race against, good atmosphere. Google Meremere Dragway for event dates/times. It's a decent drive for you but worth it if you get there early enough to get plenty of passes in.
Nice job. I am writing to you from Spain. Does the odometer and speedometer work correctly? Thank you
Speedo now reads slightly over but because I have bigger wheels it balances it out so only reads a couple kmh over
Hey man, awesome stuff. I am about to do a 4.76 final drive swap into my CL9 Type S. Stock motor and all for now, do you think this will yield decent results for a stock car ?
Final drive is from a DC5 Type R
Yeah it'll definitely improve those ratios a bit... Not by heaps but just enough I'd say
Quick question, can i using dc5, ep3, or fd2r gear set and lsd install on k24a3 ast5 6speed gearbox? Also the lsd speedo gear still can match on k24a3 vss sensor???
Yep you sure can but the speedo will be a little out. I fixed it by running 225/45R18 tyres
Well done 👍may I ask would this swap work for the cu 2 Accord euro??
Cheers, should do!
How do u feel about the differences?day and night difference?
You are using your 4.3 final drive right?what is the rpm at 62mph at 6th gear?
Yeah big difference, 6th gear is same as stock - 2400rpm
im guessing a longer sixth gear means lower revs on highways? Which equals lower k/l? Would that lead to higher K/L on the fifth? (driving in the suburbs/city)
Yeah better fuel economy on the motorway
So must I keep the stock 6th gear and stock 4.7 final drive from your explanation.
I have a JDM CL9 2003 K24A3 ACCORD TYPE S WILL THE DC5
Should do!
hey buds, how did you overcome the speedo being out, doing a 5.1FD and know that it will be an issue on the CL9??
I've already got bigger wheels which counteracts it, but you'd need something to tap into the speed sensor wire
So your beloved euro or a stock euro r?
Car sounds great man!
Cheers and I'd have a K24 any day
There is no chance to drive on 6th now? I just wondering RPM level on 6th with 160km/h. This is my usually highway speed and I just wondering if it will be not too much.
I have CM2 in Europe and I lobe this car.
Given its 2400rpm at 100km/h, mathematically it should be at 3800rpm at 160km/h
It wont stay into 6th from different reasons , gear hub locking pins not correctly installed, the gear selection fork doesn’t engage the gear change fully and only partially, or one of the locking pin for the gear fork is not engaging correctly. Unfortunately the gearbox has to come off and when back cover is removed select the 6th and see if engages correctly and fully .
Yeah we're gonna try something with the detent springs first then maybe look at just putting the Type R 6th gear in
Good day!
Is it pops out when you take off a leg from a pedal, right? Only 6 gear and no other?
I have a few thoughts about that issue with 6gear. For sure you need to dismantle it again:
- you have a synchronisers there. Make 100% sure that they were installed correctly exactly for 6 gear
- check cd5 and your service manuals for the topic where gearbox is disassembled and there can be (but I am not sure exactly for that gearboxes) adjusting washers for gear shaft. You should use it to correct a free lift for it. They are located between shaft and gearbox body
- also check how rods and cables for manual gearbox were installed. They are also can be tuned to work correctly. That should be also in service manual or forums
- incorrect MTF or its level
Me personally bet for synchronisers and adjusting washers. Please compare two manuals for gearboxes for dc5 and accord euro and make sure that you did not forget about adjusting washers. They can be of a different thickness to tune it correctly.
Yeah it all sounds like it's gonna have to come apart again annoyingly... I'll suggest those to the mechanic who installed it though! Thanks
Damn your CL9's legit! Which city do you reside?
Cheers man I'm in Wellington
Very interesting content since i myself own a 06 CL7 Euro R and a 01 CL1 Euro R
Have been a regular viewer of your channel
Now I need your help with my cl7
The transmission on my euro had been previously abused and repaired when i bought it , Although i bought the whole rebuild kit from synchrotech which includes synchros and sleeves, bearings etc.
But its not coming together since alot of damage has been done to it
My second gear pops out exactly like your 6th did
Its really hard to find a type r gearbox in the part of the world where i live
But there is a ast5 gearbox available for sale
Since you've already gone through this process
Can you guide me if i were to buy that ast5 gearbox
What is the compatibility of the two gearbox's?
Are all parts interchangeable?
I want to keep my lsd and type r ratios
Any help will be appreciated
Yep the gearbox casings are the same so the ast5 would work just fine with the euro r gears. That's exactly what I did in this video
There are several things that could lead to your 6th gear issue.
1. Worn synchros
2. Internal Misalignment during reinstallation
3. Low on MTF
4. Broken engine mount, engine flex caused the gear to pop out
5. 6th gear sleeve is damaged
6. Selector fork not installed correctly.
7. Worn 6th gear dog teeth
One of them got to be the answer.
Cheers for that, unlikely to be wear I'd say given both gear sets were absolutely mint and almost looked brand new but ill give those a try
The drop from the factory 2nd gear is terrible! Did you do an LSD install while you did the gears?
Yeah it is aye... nah no LSD
ive wanted to know if i could swap some gearsets from a typeR in my 5AT
Nah, internals of the auto are completely different
I put the ASP3 trans from the Euro R in my CL9 and it’s so much better man. Getting similar times to what you showed. Next we’ll see how it drives on boost!
I do want to swap the TSX 6th gear in, the highway mileage went down too much.
Awesome man!
Hello my friend, did you use your Accord speed sensor oder the one from the Ep3? My speedometer does not work, but the rpm do.
I got Fn2 gears in my transmisson with the 5.1 Fd and a shop did the gearbox change. Please let me know. My Accord has almost the same Mods like yours and I love it so much.
Thank you, great job!
I just used the original accord speed sensor and it worked just fine, slightly out, but my larger diameter tyres balanced it out so it reads the same as stock now
@@KiwiCarLife wow quick response. Thank you very much
@@KACL-nr1tq All good man - I always reply to comments
You've convinced me to buy a type r gearset.
Cool man! Would recommend
Whats the cost for the type r gearset?
@@Jin4221 depends what car you get it from and if you want an lsd or not.
Cl7 Euro R gearbox is probably the easiest because it just bolts straight in and already has an lsd.
Or you could just get any type r gearset and swap it into the stock accord trans - makes it easy cos then you don't have to change speed sensors and so on
Вы поменяли только главную передачу на 4.76 ?
Yes
Hey bro where did you get the dc5 type r gear set?
Facebook marketplace
I noticed in the run with the type r gearset you had empty tank of fuel and run with stock gearset your tank was full. These cars have a 65l tank capacity so the weight difference was probably about 50-60kg. Don't you think that would have also affected the 0-100 time? I know you might say its only 50kg ish but honestly even small amounts of weights make noticeable differences. I'm not saying the type r gearset is useless, of course it would still make quite a difference in performance and driver enjoyment. I just wonder is it worth how much it cost you?
Fuel weighs 0.737kg per litre, so at most it would have been a 40kg difference. That's like 2.5% difference in weight. Thus affecting the time by 0.16 seconds. Sure it might have made a difference, but not much.
It cost me $2500nzd to buy and install it
@@KiwiCarLife Hmm, fair enough. Probably would have made a difference but most likely won't be that noticeable.
Hey man, would you have any pointers on why my lux 6sp euro doesnt like first gear? can only slip into first when barely crawling!
It's a common thing with accords. Most cars aren't keen to go into first unless you're completely stopped. Mine is alright, but in general I don't ever shift into 1st unless I'm stopped
You should check your clutch master cylinder, common failure even if it doesn't leak it just dont engage the clutch. If that doesn't help, then you maybe have worn clutch or the clutch disc is not "floating" on the shaft.
So it is not a bolt- on?
I want just to uninstall the stock gearbox and install the TypeR one, is it possible?
Yep can do
@@KiwiCarLife can you tell me the code of the TypeR transmission, please?
I plan on doing the same with a civic si gearstack my buddy has; on that note do you feel an LSD would be worth dropping in if I'm going to go through all that work taking the trans apart?
Probably, if you can get an lsd cheap. It does definitely make a difference
Where do you do your 0 to 100 testing in Wellington? Asking for a friend 😄 🤣
Middleton road
Don't you have a problem with the speed sensor¿? How did you solved it ?¿?
I would really appreciate the answer, thanks!!
Bigger tyre diameter fixes it
Same issue here (UK)
EP3 gears 1 to 5, accord 6th. Speedo is reading over 10mph top fast
Can you put a LSD into this transmission? or is that not how it works?
You sure can
I still would have fitted the lsd from a dc5 only because its not too aggressive and the box was already open
I know... looks like I might have to get it open again so I might have a look for an lsd
@@KiwiCarLife fingers crossed it all goes well for you and you sort out your problem with the 6th gear 🤞🏻
did you ever correct the speedometer? i got the cl7r gearbox and it's over reporting by 10kph
Nah as I've got bigger wheels so it only reads like 6 over which is basically the same as stock
@@KiwiCarLife what's your wheel /tyre setup?
how much is the cost of repairing gearboxes
Quite a lot
there are measurements on draggy?
Yes
Is it possible to swap the gearset out of a k20 honda fn2?
Yep sure can all 6 speed K series gearsets are interchangeable
@@KiwiCarLife I kid you not that was the fastest reply I have ever got in my life! Thanks for the help im very new to hondas!
I’ll like to do it on mine, but it’s automatic gearbox, some one knows how can I change my gearbox ratio I’ll appreciate. I’m on Brisbane Australia.
Unfortunately I don't believe its possible to change the ratios in an automatic, could always manual swap tho 😅
You can change the transmission plate, if a company makes one for the cl9 auto.
Cheers for the answer so sad. Anyway this car makes me so happy though 😁
how does this now compare to the CL7R?
Very similar, but way more torque
When will be upgrade brake parts?
That's a great question! At some point I might get some CU2 front brakes but because I don't really track the car much I haven't bothered to
Dc5 type r with type s seats???
Yes indeed
Hey. I stay near you. Building an ek with a k24. Where did you find your gearset?
A guy on the aus euro page one
@@KiwiCarLife might have to check it out.
Have you thought about taking the accord to manfield for some laps? I highly recommend if you haven't.
@@The1Weak1 yeah I've been twice already and it was good, that was when it had no power mods tho so I might look to tee up a time to go back
If you need any help once organized let me know. :)
Whats next? Intake manifold and tune??
Sound good btw with the plm
Cheers, already has a tune, and I'm pretty happy with the power level atm so my main priorities are probably making it better to drive - engine mounts, get 6th gear working, better brakes, clutch master cylinder
Hey, what about the fuel consumption and top speed
Fuel consumption is fairly unchanged, and testing the top speed would be highly illegal haha
Its poping out beacuse you forgot to do dc5 flywheel :P
But fr that sucks, hope you resolve it and if you could do dc5 flywheel it would be really nice as im interested in that mod and your opinion on it.
what the point? how the non-cd5 flywheel pops out exactly 6 gear?
@@F1ashP1aya A joke buddy, it was strange to me that he did short gears and didn't put light flywheel while he was at it as it's a known great mod for this car. As for gear that is poping out that is fucked up by a shop. They should fix it free of charge
Yeah I get that.... Only reason I didn't change it was because my stock clutch was in perfect shape so it seemed a waste to throw it out. However maybe now I've gotta pull it to bits again, I might have to do the LSD and lightened flywheel after all....
@@KiwiCarLife it sucks that this happened to you. But you make awesome content. I only watch you and savagegees 👍
could just be missing a ball screw when you reassembled the trans
Will suggest that to the mechanic
Where did you buy it from and how much was it to install? :)
Bought it off a guy on the aus euro fb page and it wasn't cheap!
What do you search for to find this specific gearset? You changed out 1 through 5, right? And kept the 6th and final drive stock?
Ended up changing out all 6 as I ran into a few issues trying to mix the type r gears with the stock ones. Search EBay for a used set either from an FN2, DC5 or CL7
@@KiwiCarLife Hey thanks, but you kept the stock final drive? Was that the issue that was the culprit for it popping out of 6th?
@@The_Noticer. yeah stock fd and nah it was just an installation problem
@@KiwiCarLife selling the CU1 and buying a nice CM2 i found. But this car has the same gearing as your cl9, so this seems like the most fun you can bring to the driving experience if you can afford it. Doing the engine last. Chassis refresh/update, gearbox, tires and brakes first. No point in doing 300 to the wheels if it doesnt stop and turn, or if it snaps out of vtec every gear change.
So quick question, is this a DC5R gearbox, or just the Gearset installed in the CL9 Transmission housing? like a rebuild?
Yep
@@KiwiCarLife Sweet, because i'm looking to pickup a 2006 CL9, i love my CU2 but i like the vast aftermarket of the CL9 and the Engine is just so much better, could i get similar results by just swapping in a CU2 6 speed Gearbox?

Nah when stopped it won't let you rev over 3500rpm. If I wanna show off at meets or whatever I just make sure I keep the car rolling slowly. But it's a bit silly and obnoxious anyway so I don't do it often.
If you want to burn tyres, all power to you. As soon as the wheels start spinning it'll let you rev it out.

Hey man is this a transmition swap or just internals?
If so could you put a link to were I could have a look?
@@theoriginalmilkmen7041 just internals
can anyone link me the place to buy the gearset? cheers
Its not an off the shelf part. You'll have to buy one used. Keep an eye on eBay auctions or see if anyone on the forums has one
@@KiwiCarLife thanks for the reply man really appreciate it. Keep making killa content 🤙
@@lachycunno7346 all good and will do!
Sir kindly explain its fuel average/ mileage ,
Love from Pakistan. Keep it up bro!
10-12 liters per 100km mixed drive - city and highways on stock 2.4 exec acccord
@@F1ashP1aya where did you get those numbers lol. Highway at 130kmh 7.5l
City 10-12l
Open back road cruzing 60-90 kmh 6-7l
My avg never goes over 8l
@@CL9k24a3 well, you probably driving just like a grandpa if you have 8l/100km. I have the same consumption for city and open back road grandpa cruizing for highway for 2.4 AT exec 7 gen. I'm not a native speaker so can do a mistakes in a comments just because of that. Cheers bud
@@F1ashP1aya AT doesn't help fuel consumption that's for sure. you have a vid on my channel how I drive lol. Its all about corners... Where I go 120kmh people brake to 70. its about being constant. If you brake all of the time for no reason and accelerate you fuel consumption will increase.
@@F1ashP1aya ps when a had a leak on flex pipe and not reflashed it was using almost 1.5l more than its using now.
How much did the gearset cost & installation too?
Quite a lot!
More than $1000?
Yeah over double that
Where did u get your intake from
dont see any changes in intake here
0:46 short ram intake looks mean
@@CL9k24a3 yeah my fault, sorry
Lol the intake is a custom one I made by cutting up the simota one that was on my CD5 - I'll get a decent one someday
How did you get the gears? I would love to do this to my acura tsx
No need to man. The TSX has basically the same ratios mine has now. The Accord Euro with the K24A3 has longer ratios from factory vs K24A2.
Look at how the revs drop in this video and the speed achieved in 2nd gear (accord):
ruclips.net/video/eax5NBwNg7E/видео.html
vs tsx:
ruclips.net/video/FAq_ESY3WX8/видео.html
You can see the TSX drop from 7200 to 5100rpm and achieves 90km/h in 2nd, whereas the accord goes from 7000 to 4500rpm and achieves 105km/h in 2nd.
@@KiwiCarLife ok thank you! my mistake, I thought the tsx still had longer gears then the euro r
@@tiles3458 yeah different final drive, I believe tsx is 4.3 and euro r is 4.7, and the euro r obviously has different redline too
@@KiwiCarLife I've heard of people swapping civic si gearing along with the LSD to the tsx in the united states. I didn't know how worth it that'd be.
@@tiles3458 yeah could look to do that, will change 4th 5th and 6th gears only tho and add lsd
What's your 100-200 time?
No idea never been to 200
@@KiwiCarLife But 1/4 mile ?
Any excuse to do a 0-100 aye?
Absolutely haha
Ah yes, I shall place my car into 6th
*CRUNCH BANG*
HAHAH very true - should've bought a legacy... That never crunches
detent spring ballbearing is the problem
Cheers for that! I'll suggest that to the mechanic who installed it when we try remedy it
just make sure you dont pull it all apart again before checking that, good luck mate love the channel
how much was the gears set?
Not cheap!
@@KiwiCarLife from what I see on the chart the fn2 gearbox works as well, right? I figure you had that one on the options list as well
@@alexc5022 Yeah will do - a lot of people have done an FN2R swap
I've been wanting to do this for ages, such a good upgrade! Planning to do a type r oil pump, gearset, LSD, VTC gear, cams etc into my manual euro, would love to have a yarn to you about these sometime
Yeah man hit me up on insta if you want @kiwicarlife.yt
