today me and my cuzzin checked everyhtign over and what we found was my tranny mount is fucked, the screws somehow came undone and my tranny and engine jsut shake like **** when u rev it, which would explain y the car onlybogs when i try and gun itcuzz the engine moves alot, i tried scrweing the bolts back in but they wont go back in, any ideas?

take the weight off of your engine and then screw the bolts back in.

you probably need to jack the engine itself up to get the bolts in.... just put blocks on the rear end and jack from the bottom of the tranny or somewhere stable that isn't braced by the frame...

no u see heres the big dilema, one of the bolts from b4 snapped and the bottom of it is stuck ion the tranny, the 2nd ones corner broke so nothing will even bolt into it, and the other one im pretty sure is fine.....i got no idea what to do

coreyhayman

also would that cause the car to bog out when accelerating really hard and letting the clutch out, i figurewd its movin something when the engine shifts from the sudden acceleration or letting the clutch out and something mess's up.....the guy at speedy told me its probably a bad connection somewhre that when i give it gas or let the cluthc out the enginew shifts and whatever doesnt make contact.....where all should i look?....i couldnt really see any wires or anything going to the tranny but i know this tranny mount problem is a big problem....

ya that would explain the bog i think... could be fuel delivery too but if your mounts aren't right its probably that....


the way to fix it is very time consuming and if you screw it up your SOL....


what you gotta do is get another bolt for hte mount from honda.... measure the outter diameter of the threads and then get a drill bit that is roughly 75% of that diameter.... then drill out the bolt that is snaped off.... being 100% certain the drill is going in straight.... then get a tap for the thread on the bolt and retap the threads.....

if none of that makes sense take it to a shop and fork out the big bucks

i got one bolt still, and one hole is ok so think one will hold it for now?.......lol........i plan on swapping this winter, i jsut need it to get by for this month till it snows thne its going away to all the shops to b fully redone into a show car, so i dont wanna waste money on this crap zc when ill b swapping neways

Engine mounts won't casue a car to bog it'll only make the car have wheel hop.

it will if the engine moved enough to break a sensor, or pull a wire off...at the firewall.

if a zc is beating a b series is because of work done to the engine.... cause everything from a b18b up make more hp then the zc and with the exception of the b16 make much more torque too

coreyhayman

when i said crap zc i was referring to what i got the sohc zc, the dohc aint to bad but the sohc is a pos, i msut admit tho iv hung with a few b16's 5th gens in m day, they were prolly stock but still

red90dx

corey I had one, loved it....

a b20 prelude motor is less hp than a zc..

dingus8

SOHC zc is an econo motor.....not a fire breather...even a dohc isnt' fast....b16 isn't either it can barley break 14's....most hondahs fight to hold onto 14's.....a real actually half decent ly fast car is 13's...low 13's....

coreyhayman

i agree

coreyhayman

neways cars running ok now and not bogging nomore, i did a oil change on her yesterday to.....lol

PULOVR

I highly doubt that. If that did hapen, he would hear and feel the engine move that much.

well ijn the end the tranny mount is something that requires fixing I suggest to get the opinion of a mechanic
