First Drive in My K24 Honda Civic (Transmission Issue, Coolant Bleed, Custom Intake) - EP. 3
Today I finally get to take my K24 swapped Honda Civic car flip out for it's first drive. We do have a few items to finish before we can rip it, and we WILL encounter a major issue along the way.

I wish I had a vacuum bleeder when I was bleeding the system in my k swap... holy cow I had to jack that thing up to the moon, run it and shut it down about a billion times, squeeze the lines, all the bells and whistles lol.. she made me work for it. Congrats on getting the K24 on the road she looks fun.

[@benitoloco899]

Not to put you on the spotlight but are we talking coolant or brake fluid? If the former is the case, then it would be a vacuum purge kit, not vacuum bleeder. Vacuum bleeders for brake calipers suck and create more bubbles.

DUDE Do not tear into the trans!! I would put money down that the noise is in fact the throw out bearing. Idk what clutch kit you used but I’ve had bad bearings multiple times over the last 15 years of building Hondas and what is going on with yours is exactly what has happened to me and many other people. The noise goes away when the clutch is pressed because there is load on the bearing which quiets it down. Basically there is some slop in the bearing and when it is just resting on the pressure plate forks/springs there is enough play that it rattles. Get a high quality bearing and you’ll be good!

[@Nobody716-j5e]

It’s forsure throw out bearing my buddy’s k series gsr integra model its the same way as we speak …! I can forsure 2nd this

[@blakeschmid]

@@Nobody716-j5e yea man it’s extremely likely that it’s just a simple $40 bearing. No idea what clutch they used but if it came with a cheap Chinese bearing it’s probably that

[@RishMedia]

Came here to say the same, after trial and errors and multiple clutch jobs on Tsx’s definitely a throw out bearing. USE OEM ONLY! Aftermarket ones in kits suck and tend to start chirping prematurely.

[@Facinesanslimites]

Guys, this is clearly inside the trans. When he push the clutch, sound stops. That is also when trans input shaft stops spinning. If it was throwout bearing, it would only get worse when pressed. I’ve done 100 trans and yes they are weak but this one is internal.

[@blakeschmid]

@@Facinesanslimites dude… no lol That’s absolutely not true. Sure, sometimes when the bearing gets really bad it will get louder when the pedal is pressed, but 9 times out of 10 it quiets down. If it was a trans bearing he would’ve noticed it while driving in gear, not just sitting there idling in neutral. You say you’ve “done 100 trans”, what does that even mean? You’ve rebuilt 100 k series transmission? Do you own a shop or something?

[@warningx10x24x]

If you haven’t already, pull the rubber dust shield by the slave cylinder and see what your clutch pressure plate looks like! Mine was doing the same thing, and when I pulled that, you could visible see the pressure plate wobbling. I was actually able to use an extension and a wobbly socket to tighten them all the way down, put red loctite on them, back them out to chase the threads with the loctite and then tightened them back up. You can pull the inspection plate under the car and check if all the threads are evenly tightened down from there as well and rotate it by hand to check each bolt to see if all the threads are tight or any are backing out. Hope this helps before you get too far into a rebuild!

Not the way we wanted the first drive to go, but the video turned out awesome! I loved the way the video flowed. Congrats on your sponsorship❤❤

[@Tarex3]

Hey John, thanks for all the awesome videos. You’ve helped me maintain my own ‘07 civic si, and even inspired me to start a new job as a service advisor at Honda. Wishing you all the best from MA.

[@Ellyitt_civic]

Your videos are so quality. Very surprised you aren’t more popular. Was cool to meet you at automotion

[@Sps8836]

awsome work! sounds like the throwout bearing.

[@robbyposey9128]

Squeak is water pump and the trans sound is counter shaft bearing

[@BulliKid]

Good video! Always progressing in the right direction 💪

[@StarPower999]

Wowzers john is truely an amazing guy:)

[@myPursesuitOfHappiness]

Watching your journey has been a great gift. Love the sponsorship. LY ❤️

[@boosted_john]

Thanks mom. LY

[@goybi7356]

i had a really bad belt squeal on my k swap when i finished it. turned out the water pump housing bolt holes were stripped and it was causing my alternator to sit crooked. threw the belt off 2 or 3x on the dyno before realizing what exactly it was. had to helicoil the housing, but ever since then its been fine.

[@UneekGraphics]

After replacing all the bearings, bad synchros, clutch throwout and ring bearing, my Si still made this noise. It ended up being my new clutch needing adjustment at the pedal.

[@Thatslow_B6]

I would bet it’s a input shaft bearing. Throw bearing you hear when the pedal is pressed and Input shaft bearing you hear with the clutch pedal out in neutral.

[@Chrspi93]

Definitely need to add a rear disc swap to the build

[@highpsiguy4085]

It's 100% POSSIBLE to have a throw out bearing noise present when the you let the clutch out. I know from experience

[@Dennis-kt6md]

The flywheel or clutch bolt are lose. Same thing happened to be. Make sure they torqued to spec.

[@umaireg6]

Good video. Got better as it went on. I stopped what I was doing to finish watching it. Lol

[@boosted_john]

I appreciate it!

[@Shreddylife]

I didn't make it through the entire video yet but I know that noise.. Those Darn Input shaft bearings are always going out lol I just replaced mine in my Vitara D16 build last month. Along with the outer counter shaft bearing because it felt a little rough.

[@vapour_xs9235]

Holy crap, I had no idea we have the same issue. My EP3's K20A3 makes the same noise when off the clutch, I completely though that was just how a normal clutch sounds...

[@kriss8575]

My z3 does too. Thought it was normal as well 🤣

[@blakeschmid]

There’s a very high chance it’s just the throw out bearing

[@spoolinekrhdhulk-urban-c-w5709]

Make sure you get the one with ball bearings in it 15:15

bruh, you said "look at this mess i made today" and pointed to a table i would consider clean lmao

[@dolobuilt]

I had this same problem everyone told me it was the throw out bearing I changed everything besides anything in the trans nothing changed still heard it but eventually it just went away idk what did it

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Sorry about the transmission, but your custom intake looks sick! 👌

[@spoolinekrhdhulk-urban-c-w5709]

Did you put additives like I said for the coolant 6:23

What oil and grade you use in your car thanks.

Throw out bearing

input shaft bearing isnt it

love u john

Nope

Through out bearing or main bearing in transmission 15:13

Main bearing in a transmission??? You mean pilot bearing.
