Tranny problems

How much damage can i get from dumping a 6 puck clutch @ 6000rpms repeatedly? Now very tme i pull out i hear a loud crack noise, I'm not sure if its a tranny, suspension, or motor mount problem. Can anyone give me some advice and any chance honda would help me since I only have 15,000 miles on the car any warranty left? :ohmy:

You check your axles?

wow.. dumping a 6-puck at 6000rpms..
you can damage the pressure plate..
you can damage the gears.. but more importantly the mainshaft..
the driveshaft can become tweaked or break under pressure..
motor mounts can wear fast..
if you keep doing it.. eventually.. if nothing goes before then..you could throw a piston/rod through your block..
more wear goes towards cv boots and axles..
torque converter will definitely warp or break if you keep dumping the clutch at 6000rpm at a full stop..

if you haven't broken your clutch in properly.. you'll break your glaze your clutch faster than anything else.. and it'll end up no good..

if you're going to be launching at that high of rpm.. i suggest you upgrade your motor mounts and start doing rolling launches..
get your car rolling forward at about 5-10mph.. then dump the clutch..

I never did get to hear that noise.

I remember someone saying that the mounts in the new Civics suck. Where's the knock sound like it's coming from? Front, middle, etc?

torque converter? 5 speed? drive shaft? huh? when do you get the noise? get with munster and i'll come check it out... oh, i do know how to completely dissassemble, reassemble, and fix 5 speed honda and dsm trannys. if you get the noise when you hit-release-hit the gas it could be several things. maybe not even in the trans. the bushings that keep the suspension from deflecting when you hit hard bumps, corner and accelerate hard could also be very worn from the hard launches.

I know i get a funky noise when i accelerate since rear motor mount (next to fire wall) is gone it goes clunk when I start moving... "this all happend after nitrous"

I'm not really ruling out anything at this point, I think i broke a mount since they are so jive in the new civics...like mush not mount. Or I broke something in te driver side sus. The tranny or axles are a worse case scenario. it's like a crack after some movement/momentum is made also hearing it goin over bumps.

I have no idea how i double posted last night but o well, sorry.

Anyway I figured it out today whats wrong, the font motor/tranny mount, like i originally suspected. The mounts on new civics are for sissy driving. Does anybody know of someone who makes better ones?
