Late to the party but just bought a Type R so I'm enjoying your vids.
I did this adjustment at the weekend as my pedal was on the floor and I couldn't select 5th at high revs along with the notchy 2-3 change. I couldn't get the movement on the 12mm spanner so bought a brake pipe spanner (£6 at Halfords). With that it was an easy job. I knelt outside the car with the seat right back and leaned in. I went a turn and pedal has come up slightly on the bite point. The 2-3 is still occasionally notchy but the VTEC changes are now sweet so worth the effort.
jb64das brilliant thank you for your feedback 👍🏻
Like your determination and diy mentality, I’ve made lots of gaffs along the way. To lengthen a spanner 🔧 just lock an appropriate ring spanner on the end and bingo. Takes a bit of practice but you’ll get the hang of it. 👍
Thank you for the encouragement 👍🏻
Sick ones man have a 9 gen civic biting point too high will keep looking for more information
Alright Lew, thanks for this video. Just had my 1.8 Type-S's clutch replaced as it'd been sat for some time and the pressure plate was sticking. Only issue now is my biting point is practically on the floor so I'm getting some... Erm... 'Notchy' gear changes. Did you ever manage to get this sorted?
Hi mate, no problem. I actually haven't sorted this but my car has a clutch at home ready to be installed in fact. So I'm gonna asses the situation when the new one's fitted.
Did you ever get around to doing this? Adjusted the biting point on mine and its so much better now. I used a bit of old timber and wedged it between the peddle and seat to hold it down so I could undo the 12mm nut.
No I didn't mate. To be honest I'm just gonna leave it now but well done one doing the task yourself 👍🏻
Did u get this job done in the end, I managed to adjust the pedal, used a breaker bar to hold the clutch pedal down, I've adjusted the push rod half a turn its made a difference however the issue is the pedal height is lower than the brake pedal
No I've not tackled it since.
I found completely removing the cruise tube and disconnecting the four electric connections above the pedal assembly allows room for a normal spanner to have sufficient room to undo the 12mm (disconnect negative terminal of battery and leave for a minute)
Does take some effort depressing the clutch pedal with left hand. I found laying on my back in the footwell worked better and I'm a big lad (seat back, steering wheel up to maximise room and remove the lower dash trim and the outer seat rail cover)
The Competition Clutch video is helpful.
Doing this adjustment transforms the clutch / gearchange, it's now smooth and rewarding!
Spraying some lithium grease on the rod that you're adjusting and the springs lower down also cured the squeaky pedal!
Yep, my first attempt ended in defeat too! Get someone to sit in the drivers seat and push the pedal fully down. They'll need to be flexible, as their right leg needs to be out of the door, so you can fit in the gap!!
It's never simple with the FN2. I've just spent two days fitting the Piper catback system. The old exhaust was screwed, so had to be cut off, and the threaded studs on the cat were wrecked, so I had to cut them off, drill through, and fit new nuts and bolts in situ. Many thousands of heat cycles has turned the metal into some massively tough material, which killed about ten brand new drill bits.
We don't have a two or four post lift, only axle stands and ramps. I'm in absolute agony now!
Breeze block will a blanket wrapped around it does the job m8 saves all the trouble
I found that turning around the 17mm spanner (that I had used to undo the nut holding the cruse control switch) and placing the 13mm or other end of the spanner between the depressed clutch peddle and the bracket that holds the clutch peddle jams the clutch in the depressed position exposing the 12mm nut you need to undo. You could try other spanners or tools or anything that can resist the pressure from the clutch return spring.
It is a bitch of a job to do, but so worth not having to have to bury your foot hard into the carpet every time you want to change gear.
Good luck
4 hours fitting all the exhaust including the manifold,and also in this time removing the old one too...not so hard.
Are you looking to put any l.e.d lights in your car or on your car
Gullygaza Strip I wouldn't mind HIDs at some point but at the moment I only have led side lights and rear number plate lights.
I did it….
So hard. Had to take All it out… But Now working incredible 😍
I do it now,after I instal clutch damper bypass. I exactly know how you feel. The way to setting this think is horrible 😂
Think I'll leave mine to a professional this Tuesday and hoping they can sort it out, painful when she crunches/pops 3rd gear, I imagine it can wear the clutch out earlier too?
Yeah it does sound like it's causing some damage. I've still not done this to this day. I've heard polybush engine mounts help aswell.
Have you ever replaced a Clutch in her?
I wonder due to the gearbox if Type R's frequent replacements.
I haven't no and it's not a known problem. As long as its engaged and disengaged properly I would think the crunching gears won't hurt the clutch
Cheers thanks.
Hey Lewis, if this works out in any next video, i will try it by myself.
Do you have an issue with the 3rd gear popping out too? Sometimes this happens to me and its dang annoying.
What year is your FN2? This was a common issue in 2008 models I believe. Was rectified by Honda in later models. A local Honda dealership will know how to fix this for you.
SHAWSIE64 it's an 07 so the car wouldn't have had the fix yet. If I can manage it to save money I'd rather do that than pay a dealer.
SHAWSIE64 just realized you were replying to the first comment haha
Louis Senn mine doesn't pop out it's just a bit funny putting it in 3rd in the first place 😂
Lewis Humphrey all good mate, great vids enjoy them.
it's when u got out the car and said......no.........no.....lol so funny mate. ur vids are entertaining. my clutch in the fn2 is very low also , as is my friends. I hear alot of people saying about 3rd gear issues. (crunching) (popping out of 3rd) (difficult to engage 3rd) my 07 fn2 has 126k on the clock and has never had these 3rd gear issues!!! ...it is a 1 owner from new and still on original clutch.
HONDA RPMS glad you find them entertaining ☺️ haha lucky you! Must be a rare one.
Hi mate, what do you mean by low clutch ? Do you mean that you don't need to release the pedal very much for the clutch to be engaged ?
+Stainmanx hi pal. Yes that's exactly what I mean. 👍🏻
Did you ever get the 13mm released? I'm in the same position 😡
No mate I've just replaced the clutch since and lived with how it is.
Good video I like your channel. 👍👍 Did you ever get this done?
james hibbert thank you 😊 not yet unfortunately. I've just been living with it 😂 maybe at some point in the future.
Before you done this. Did you have a lot of pedal freeplay?
I still haven't adjusted it and probably won't now. How do you mean free play?
@@FNLEW By freeplay I mean the amount you push the clutch down before you feel resistance. You may have like 1 or 2 inches of floppiness/slack before you feel it resist
@@jordan4541 not really mate. The biting point is low down but the resistance is all the way through.
Hint Guys:
Actual work starts at 3:53. Before that is all gibberish
bro u are funny... are u smokin? slamming the door with the clamp on.... tehe. not having a go here as its something i would do, IF i had smoked .lol.. keep learning though, and i really like your honesty.. fellow Northerner ...
mark warr haha I promise you mate I'm sound of mind making these mistakes 😂. Glad you liked the video mate.
Lol just keep being yourself then Mate... U are funny, and again its the honesty with it, most people wouldn`t admit there mistakes, or highlight them, it would be take 2 n that never happened... Keep being real, and thanks for the chuckle..
you got any films on deep scratches, My missus got her car keyed and guess who is going to have to fix that... oh joy lol
mark warr haha well I've done a machine polishing video but for a deep scratch, a sand and a respray is the only propper solution unfortunately 😔
Take your seat out. It gives you alot more room and stops you from braking your spine.
Archie Roku I did find that happening 😂 cheers.
take the seat out. put a weight on the clutch pedal. buy a cheap tap spanner or a flexi head ratchet. go to work on it/.
Not a easy job! I tried unsuccessfully for over 3 hours and all i got was bad back pain! I took it to my local garage with a photocopy of the article you used off civicinfo. They charged me £35. Job done & 6 months later it seems ok. The clutch has always been heavy & makes the odd clicking noise but but a few squirts of wd40 and its fine!
too much talking be direct to the point
Geez you talk too much
