Installing a Type R Gearset in my CL9 Accord!

[@mixedboi]

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.

You've convinced me to buy one of these over an fn2

[@KiwiCarLife]

Cool man! They're a bit boring stock but once you mod them they're a great chassis

[@thatpersiandude7386]

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

[@TL94FIN]

But in the end, CL chassis is true Japan made.

[@muhammadmore]

@@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

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

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.

[@baker6928]

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

[@chrisskelly6408]

I just picked up one of 3 in NZ!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nice man, will be checking out a diesel one soon so will deliver my verdict on the N22 vs K24 just for you!

[@mrwaqy]

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.

[@maxxibro]

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.

[@KiwiCarLife]

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

[@viper19131]

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 :)

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah looking at doing the brake swap

[@rayzian]

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

[@KiwiCarLife]

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

[@Pottunuija]

@@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.

[@vladdutz20]

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

[@KiwiCarLife]

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

[@haseebiftikhar1754]

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

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.

Same here in nz what did gearset cost and you didn't think of doing fly at same time

[@vando1267]

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.

[@KiwiCarLife]

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

[@kristiyanatanasov705]

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!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Cheers for the advice!

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....

[@alperena4698]

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?

[@KiwiCarLife]

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

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.

[@Pottunuija]

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.

[@Kr0n3kLe]

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.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Awesome man!

Bought it off a guy on the aus euro fb page and it wasn't cheap!

[@The_Noticer.]

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?

[@KiwiCarLife]

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

[@The_Noticer.]

@@KiwiCarLife Hey thanks, but you kept the stock final drive? Was that the issue that was the culprit for it popping out of 6th?

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@The_Noticer. yeah stock fd and nah it was just an installation problem

[@The_Noticer.]

@@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.

[@dnnknewen]

did you ever correct the speedometer? i got the cl7r gearbox and it's over reporting by 10kph

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nah as I've got bigger wheels so it only reads like 6 over which is basically the same as stock

ive wanted to know if i could swap some gearsets from a typeR in my 5AT

Nah, internals of the auto are completely different

[@XorTeZVF]

Would look at the synchros first. Had the same with reverse gear.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Not the synchros, reverse has no synchro on these so dunno how that could have been the problem on yours. We've got 6th gear fixed, now 3rd and 4th are having issues

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?

Hi Liam, I just noticed 3:02 that you have pre installed launch control, handbrake procedure :) Am I right ? ;)

@@KiwiCarLife How you initiate launch procedure then ? I know some people use hand brake as signal to start it ...

@@KiwiCarLife So you can't rev on parking for example above specified lunch control limit ? Or burn tires when want it 😁

[@KiwiCarLife]

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.

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. 😊

[@KiwiCarLife]

Cool man! Definitely makes a big difference

[@rolldog82]

@keith Jones was it expensive swap or it cheaper putting type r gear seats like he did? Basically the same thing right?

[@Kantoh22]

@@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.
