i'm pretty vigilant about coming off the gas completely. i previously had a 2006 si, and i feel like my shifting technique hasn't changed between the two cars, and if there is a car that would display similar symptoms, it would be the Si, due to the DBW throttle. but this rev hang never happened with the Si.

i'll be more aware of the rpm next time, to make sure the revs drop a bit before fully getting on the gas.




okay, new (related) thought... the clutch engagement is closer to the floor in the Si (higher in the s2k), so maybe if i'm using the same technique, the clutch would be engaged in the Si slightly sooner than it would be in the S2K. maybe i need to re-learn how to shift fast?

 

lucky basterds

 

A lot of aftermarket TBs tend to stay open for a while too, maybe your TB is sticking?

 

I have an 06. I have the same problem when shifiting at high revs really quick. Any info on how to remove the CDV? What are the disadvantages of having it removed?

Thanks in advance.

 

the CDV is a good thing for a longer clutch life.....it sucks when you try to launch your car thow

 

I have to go with the theory that if the clutch isn't slipping, then the tires are. What kind of tires are on the car? Even with the OEM S02's I sometimes get a satisfying chirp on the 1-2 shift, without any sign of clutch slipage, and I'm pretty sure CKit chirps his Pilot Sport Cups (R compound!) sometimes on a 2-3 shift. Well, maybe CKit isn't running a stock clutch, but I am, and the OEM S02's slip a lot more than the OEM clutch.

I think it's either the tires, or maybe the shift timing. For sure it's not a CDV on an AP1.

 

Especially in Vancouver, Canadia where the daytime highs are currently around 60F.

 

i had the same problem exactly as you've described. i also posted this question...maybe a month ago? at that time i was sure my clutch wasn't slipping, but soon after my post, i felt my clutch slip. so my guess would be that your clutch is on its way out. if you chirp your tires, that's proof that your tires temporarily slip, but the hanging RPM definitely sounds like a clutch that's about to go.

 

no disadvantage. CDV is a biotch. its a DIY mod, if you search the forum. i took mine to a shop, however.

maybe original poster needs lighter flywheel or driveshaft

 

I'm using the OEM S02's, with about 50% life left. i don't think the tires are slipping - there's no wheep hop or indicative screetching, and i'm definitely not chirping the 3-4 shift. That being said, it has been pretty slippery on Vancouver roads lately.

From what you guys have said, it sounds like the clutch is proabably on its way out.

And i'm just in denial. Dang. There's a cool $1000 that I wasn't planning on spending.
