No Idea where that is...


What were you doig when the trans went?

Pulling onto Rt 22 in Springfield *Dangerous busy highway* It was a U-turn I was getting off of

1st gear was smooth Shift to second *Like Butter No Issue* when I let off the clutch It just Grinds

It gets stuck in 2nd a clutch in and force it into neutral

at this point I have Traffic about to kill me

I Drop it into 4th *The only gear Which wasn't tough to throw into* and put putted my way back to my job up the road

Scary was not the word... Terrifying better describes that

[AKEP]

lots of pics.

[talonXracer]

I bet you bent a shift fork.

[D3xn2o]

I bet you bent a shift fork.

Im Pretty sure I did and more...

My buddy will take tons of Pix

Trans was picked up last night everything looks good... should be up and running sunday night

[D3xn2o]

K so its going back together... I didnt need to Notch the Shifter All gears shift smooth it seems...

I just need to remember that its a 6 speed now... *Stupid Shift Knob*

All I have left is getting the Control arms back on wheels and well drive it...

My Pass Side Motor Mount was destroyed...

Lets just Say we got a little crafty... Golan and Mary saw the pix....

Sorry guys I can't Post those it looks pretty hacked right now but ill paint the new mount and post it another day...

It was honestly a moment of genius on our part

If we didnt run into so many issues we would of finished already but re-engineering something Honda built was def tough



OKAY so I retract my Statement I do need to Notch... it doesnt want to go into Reverse now...

Doug I hate to be a pain but we can't figure out how to get the damn thing out... what needs to be done?

[SinisterCivicSi]

one day you will listen to me allayn... :msmooch:

[D3xn2o]

Yeaaaaa I have a problem listening sometimes


My buddy called it quits told me to do it... He can't get the linkage off the shifter assembly

[D3xn2o]

K well We didnt need to notch again... he drove it and all is fine

I dont understand

[Civic5lug]

jesus just reading a couple posts gave me headaches :tehe:

Everything straight now bro?

[tavarish]

I'm the buddy that put this thing back together today. Here were a few issues I had:

The motor mounts (all 4) were shot, the driver's side wasn't even connected anymore. I had to recreate the mount using hockeypucks, a motor mount bolt from a Nissan Maxima, and a Home depot washer and nut.

The Passenger's side axle didn't want to come out of the hub, so we pulled the hub with the axle attached, and reinstalled in the same way.

Both sway bar endlinks were rusted to shit, the caps ended up coming off, I had to put them back together with high strength adhesive.

The car didn't want to shift into reverse for some reason. Then I opened up the console, and could not for the life of me get the cables undone from the bottom of the assembly. I tightened it all down, and it magically worked without notching. 5th gear feels a little weird, but the car shifts into all gears as it should.

This is what happens when you try to do a mod on a (literally) zero budget. You end up having no margin for error, and end up having to make motor mounts from slabs of polyurethane from Sports Authority.

I drove the car around today, and it pulls nicely, feels a bit stiffer with the new mount in place, and rides just like stock.

Here are some pics on my Facebook page:

Don't Judge me people... It wasn't a Mod I wanted to do... It was out of need

This guy is a freakin genius

Give him some nuts bolts and rubber compound youll have urself something magical

Everything will be replaced in do time

but im broke right now so i cant afford anything


And 5th Gear just feels like Mush but it works perfect its just odd

[AKEP]

wait, so why was it all messed up? because the mounts all broke?

[D3xn2o]

They are Jacked up the Pass Side Mount was the one that was just destroyed...

Thats the one we rebuilt... Besides that it wasn't too bad a swap even though we had massive issues

[Civic5lug]

Hockey pucks?! Hahahahaha

[D3xn2o]

Yea dude... Old school HotRod Trick...

It works man... Its not Pretty but it def works

Did u ever take the 5 speed tranny apart? To see what was the actual damage?

[sleepy ep3]

This sounds scary. After hearing the repair process, I wonder if this is actually safe. Sounds hacked.

Its more then Safe... When your broke you would be surprised by the creations you can make...



Its been a week No issues and the "Hacked" Mount is well better then stock for right now...

The Engine moves just enough so my car doesnt rattle to hell...

It will get Replaces As soon as I have the $$$$ to do so...
