I had to replace the transmission due to problems with the aforementioned axle - it broke off inside the transmission and the sheared gears flew around and fucked everything up. It was running fine after I put the new transmission in, and I haven't been driving it hard. Right now it feels like I have absolutely no torque, but then again I drive a Honda so I don't know what torque feels like to begin with. As soon as the car gets to 4000rpms, any sense of lag is gone and it immediately feels better. The car has seriously tYtE VTEC and I'm wondering if the incredible tork and tYtEness of my car has fried a valve. This week I'll end up replacing the other axle for no reason, and I know I need a new clutch, but I've concluded that this problem is either a valve or an axle. I have no idea why I think this. But seriously, my Honda has no torque, is this bad? If I granny shift instead of double-clutching like I should, it stalls out going up on hills. It has a tendency to idle weird on cold starts, and I know that cars never idle high on cold starts. But it revs up into the 1500 range for a good 5 minutes until the car warms up. I have no idea what is happening, but if you think you do, my phone number is 678 886 0565. I have no problem posting my phone number on the internet, so this should give you an idea of what kind of car owner I am.
