HARDmotion K-Series EM1 CMC & HD Slave Kit V2.0 "2nd gear grind fix"

The HARDmotion 06-11 / 12-15 Civic Si & Acura RSX EM1 CMC & Stainless steel clutch line kit. The kit starts with a OEM EM1 Nissin CMC, the reason for this unit is two things. One the nissin em1 is the most prooven and reliable cmc you can install on your car. They last and wont fail on you like other units can. Two it doesnt have any delay valves built into it and thats the core reason for switching to this unit. This allows the clutch pedal to engage and disengage the transmission at the optimal speed so grinding wont incur. The CMC is then fitted to our upgraded stainless steel clutch line and that comes with all fittings needed to adapt the line. This clutch line is also a step above most with a stainless steel clutch line, that is a heavy duty unit thats built to last along with a rubber coating (to prevent dirt from the engine bay getting into an exposed steel wrap and wearing it or bursting it).

Finally we round out our kit with the new HARDmotion Slave Cylinder, this is the final piece to the puzzle of fixing any grind issues. The main piece that connects to the transmission is the slave. As our vehicles age the stock cmc and slave become worn and need replacing and they dont function as well. Thats why we now suggest getting our upgraded k-series slave cylinder. This unit not only is built to last as well but doesnt contain any delay valves. Yet again the main purpose of any hope of fixing your shift is removing the delay valves. This unit was built totally with that and mind and was built without any delay valve. Upgraded all around for performance.

With all of this combined you will enjoy proper shifting, engagement and release of the clutch, even under high rpm aggressive driving where it really counts. Not only that but this helps protect your transmission and synchros.

"If you are grinding any gears, having difficulty shifting, slow shifts or get completely locked out during a high rpm shift. This is the solution." -- HARDmotion Team

How does it work? The factory has two delay valves in the cmc and the slave. We use a cmc and slave that are high quality long lasting and that do not contain these delay valves. The delay valves in the oem units are built to make the clutch pedal less dramatic when it grabs. The drawback is the transmission and clutch do not disconnect fast enough at high rpm with the oem units and you get a grind. With our upgraded units as a system it allows the clutch to disengage properly and quickly (just like honda used to make it) why we are using a em1 cmc and our own slave unit which are built to function properly and alleviate the grinding issue and increase the overall performance and feel. These units once installed made a dramatic difference on every car we have tested it in personally. We have dealerships who use this on customer cars and honda certified master techs who also agree this solution works. We have sold over 300+ units and we constantly get recommendations as the best kit out.

Why choose our kit over others? Our kit is way more affordable than our competitors and comes with the same if not better parts + free shipping. Your saving over $50 dollars and getting a higher quality SS line at the same time and you get the proper parts and slave that complete the system as a whole. The problem is most people just do the CMC only, when the slave is the actual final piece that connects to the trans. If one or the other isnt working and isnt working fast you will get grinds. The other reason to choose our kits, is they just dont fail. They just literally dont and we guarantee and back it with a no hassle warranty.

We guarantee it will work!: You wont find this anywhere else and backed with a satisfaction guarantee. If it doesnt work, we will refund your money in full.

Installation Help: The EM1 CMC basics you need to know.

1. The HARDmotion EM1 clutch master cylinder (cmc) needs to be taken apart. From there upon uninstalling your stock CMC.
2. Take apart your your stock clutch master cylinder internals inside the HARDmotion em1 housing.
3. Swap over most importantly the rod from your oem cmc to the HARDmotion em1 cmc. View diagram below.
4. Here is a diagram below on one way to install the guts of the new HARDmotion EM1 CMC. You are swapping the rod, nut and bracket over.



5. Once your new HARDmotion CMC is assembled. Reinstall into vehicle.
6. Stainless line will attach to the EM1 Via the right angle, the other straight line connection goes to the slave unit.
7. Bleeding. You are receiving a dry brand new nissin CMC, the same that honda uses for the OEM vehicles. You may have trouble bleeding or getting pedal pressure the first time. What you need to do which a lot of people are successful with is "bench bleed" the cmc.
This information is all over the internet with videos and tutorials on how to do so. Another method is using a vaccum bleeder.
8. Once complete test free play and ensure that there is about 1 inch of freeplay. Freeplay is the pressureless zone of the clutch pedal to where its easy to press down before it starts to stiffen where engagement starts. This is important so your clutch can properly disengage.
How hard is it?: Everyone has been able to install this item themselves. It can take from 1-2 hours if proper preparation and bleeding is done.
Final Notes: Be sure to watch youtube for diys on this mod, even videos. Simply searching "diy em1 cmc install" usually pulls up lots of pages which will help assist you.
We know there are many ways to go about it, so we allow you to find what works best for you. Just be sure to take your time with understanding and bleeding the system and knowing to swap the internals beforehand. This job is very similiar to a cmc and slave install and reinstall. Also the stainless line makes it easier to install.

    5 outta 5

    Just installed this kit with the slave cylinder last night. Definitely corrected the problem I was having. The clutch peddle was soft and felt spongy. It was slow to come back up while shifting making it impossible to quick shift. You can really feel the clutch now and it snaps back when I push it in. Install only took 2.5 hours. Hardest part was getting the new master cylinder back in. Oh, and shipping was faster than expected. Will definitely buy from this company again!

    shifts like a hot knife thru a stick of butter!!!

    Posted by Frankie on Dec 7th 2017

    I was having an issues sliding it into gear during cold starts and even with the car fully warmed up it was notchy during shifts. While at stop lights I'd have to force it into first from time to time and it was beginning to be annoying. Was thinking of going with the K Tuned cmc and slave till a buddy of mine told me to just get the kit Hardmotion had. I can't thank him enough. Took me roughly and hour to install and now my ride shifts like butter. Messed around and speed shifted from 1st ripping thru gears all the way thru 4th with no problem whatsoever. I highly recommend this to anyone having issues with their stock cmc and slave cylinders!

    A MUST NEED MODIFICATIONS

    Posted by Lloyd Weathersby III on Oct 14th 2017

    it's more of a must fix than a mod. You're fixing something that should've came factory. I really does change the game. Especially with my sport, having to go from redline 4th gear to a hard turn downshift to 2nd. That grind because of all that heat is very dangerous. And can be a very costly repair. This will solve all your issues. Unless user error of course.

    Wow

    Posted by Jayce Minner on Oct 13th 2017

    What a difference from stock. This completely got rid of the stock delay that Honda designed into their cmc and slave. Definitely recommend this upgrade if you like running hard or racing.

    night and day difference.

    Posted by Alex on Sep 25th 2017

    I had 2nd gear lockout at above 6k rpm in my mugen. Wouldnt shift from 1-2 past that, and sometimes 2-3. got pretty annoying, and had me starting to worry it was something more serious. Bought this, had the rod swapped to the hardmotion one, and installed it and the slave. Its a completely new car. there are 0 grinds, popouts, lockouts, etc. now. The pedal travel was also decreased, so it doesnt catch on the floor, like how mine was prior to installing this. I highly recommend this. Best $200 i spent, and its a quality product.

    a must have if your wanting to fix your 2nd and third gear grind

    Posted by Jhonny De leon on Jul 24th 2017

    Best upgrade and was easy to install.. highly recommend this for any 8th gen owner that wants to shift better...make sure to bench bleed before install it will save you headache and time

    BUY IT!!!!!! Night and Day difference. saved my life on not hating my car no more.

    Posted by Kong on Jun 26th 2017

    Installed it and worked flawlessly. Make sure to take the kit n pump it first to see if it works and ALSO tighten all wires because I had to take it out back and forth 3 times to see why it wasn't pumping. But I RECOMMEND to pump it before installing it. Will save you headaches. Took me 4 hours to install, could have taken less if I didn't mess up a couple times. But everything worked and all you need to do next was adjust your clutch petal to your liking.

    Make Sure you bench bleed!!!

    Posted by Blaine Torres on May 24th 2017

    Great product, no more lockouts! It is imperative that you bench need the cbc before installing, I learned the hard way by installing everything, bleeding, and wondering why I didn't have any pedal pressure, I failed to read the directions the first time lol. Awesome product!
