Hi Al The Honda motor driving these trans run anti-clockwise ,that is why they use themChrisI ran one off these Civic Box's behind my BusaStarted off with a chain drive Had an input shaft failureOvercome that then it became Chain failures sprockets too close together too short a chain and cooked it Could only do 2 laps of a raceOvercome that by setting up a gear drive Used 3 gears out of an R1 box I had lying around This worked fine But generated a lot of heat againSo I fitted an oil pump driven off the gear drive which drew oil from the gearbox through an oil cooler then into the geardrive case and returned back to the boxFinally had the drive line to the civic box sortedStarted to show promise had a diff with steering brakes ,had a reverse and had 3rd 4th and 5th gears in the box to use as ratio changesI stripped out 1st and 2nd gear as I believe wernt strong enough for the abuse about to be inflicted on itTook it out for a nother race meetConfidence was building then BANG stripped 3 rd gear Thats ok select 4th gear off we go again a few more laps You guessed it Bang goes 4 th gear Select 5th which didnt last much longerSo after hours of work shelled it all out and now have 4 well used Civic box's piled up in the cornerNEXT !!!!!Sorry cant post any pics at the moment
I've seen some of these rice burners puttin 400hp thru these boxes. And they seem to get by with them. The nail in the coffin is the shock loads from rough terrain (whoops).
I'm starting to come to the conclusion that some people around here think I'm hard on stuff I luv you guys
