Hello All...
So my Trans finally blew up... Not kool
I scrabbled and was able to find a k20a2 *04* Trans with Clutch Flywheel and Trans *Obviously* for $850
this all happened within an hour
Trans blows
I call up my buddy to store my car there
I find trans
Find funding
Make the plan
So today We're ripping it apart from my Convo's with Mary Doug and Golan it should be straight forward...
Im still not positive about this Notching thing *Doug* btw
Once I have the EP Apart I guess I'll understand more

No Idea where that is...
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
lots of pics.
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
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?

K well We didnt need to notch again... he drove it and all is fine
I dont understand
jesus just reading a couple posts gave me headaches
Everything straight now bro?
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.
