, 2 12" Kicker Comp's, Sony Double Din, Stock exhaust to a can and tip(sounds horrible), picked up the car for 1800. Recent rebuild on motor 40k currently. He couldnt afford the new trans after rebuilt the motor. 1st 2nd and 5th from mid Ohio to Chicago..Oh and without heat.... Now after picking up the car during winter I knew it was going to need some TLC so i made her the garage queen while i daily my 00 EM1, after searching around i knew an H22 trans was out of my price range at the moment so i found a place in New york selling JDM T2C5 trannys. I couldnt find much info about this specific trans but i went ahead as i was up for a challenge if i had to. The compatibility said 90-97 accords i believe. So got the trans, followed the write up TysCb7 on drilling/tapping the prelude trans to fit an accord. Finally got around to installing the trans and got everything to where i thought was right and torqued. And then went to bleed the clutch. Annnnnnnd i got nothing. I went through a big bottle of brake fluid, still to keep finding bubbles. I knew something had to be leaking somewhere. So i went back through eveything. Even re-bench bled the slave cylinder thinking i might have messed that up. Again went through half a bottle of brake fluid. And then i started to search and search the forums to find that damn Clutch Damper. There was a kink in line from the master to the clutch damp. Explains why the install went so easy cuz it was pushed up and out of the way. He told me he replaced a section of line before...but didnt say it was that one. I knew if i tried to unkink the line it was gonna break, Found that it could be easily deleted with a braided stainless steel clutch line. So purchased one, installed it, and finally went to bleed out the clutch for hopefully the last time for awhile. Had my gf help me with the bleeding so i could do it the correct way. After the 3rd attempt of not feeling pressure we were about to give up and then i told her we'd try once more and if nothing i would work on it more in the morning. Pumped, held, opened, pulled, fluid checked. And we had given up cuz the mosquitos we're killing us. Then i asked if it felt any diff and said no then said wait it wont goto the ground. For some reason it scared me but then i realized i was finally getting pressure back.! So we bled it once more and then called it quits. And thats where i am at this point. Going to bleed it out more and adjust my pedal height and take it for a spin.
