So I made a thread a few days ago about a hard hard metal on metal grinding form my front end, it wasnt a constant noise but more of a spiratic here and there for one second here one second there type of thing

I noticed my drivers axle was kind of out of the tranny, maybe 3/16" or so of shinny metal showing. So I figured I just didnt install it right

So today I take the drivers axle out and I literally just popped it out with one hand, just pulled and out she came, there was no c-clip on the end of the axle. I dont remember seeing it or not or did it fall off in the tranny?

Also a few pieces of whatfeels like plastic came out with it, there in a circular shape, light brown colour and would probably make a 2" diameter piece that looks like a castle nut if it was fully formed (but only about 1/3 of the piece fell out.

Also a bit of what seemed like a ******* sos pad came out, all bundled up and clumped together with the plastic piece

I feel in the tranny and nothing feels weird so I proceed to reinstall the axle,
grab another clip, put it on and reinstall the axle, took a few good shoves to get it in there and I couldnt pull it back out so I was satisfied and put everything back together

So everythings back together, wheels on the car and its jacked up. I spin the drivers side wheel and it turns no problem then stops, turn it back the other way and it stops, like it kinda locks, you can overcome the stop with a good bit of force. Kinda weird

I spin the passenger side wheel FORWARD and the drivers side wheel doesnt move. I spin the passenger wheel BACKWARD and the drivers wheel starts rotating backwards

I have no idea whats oging on, figured Id go for a drive.

So in reverse down my big driveway I hear nothing, purring like a ******* kitten, no noises no nothing

As soon as I start moving forward **** hits the ******* fan and theres the griding again, goes for a sec then stops, goes then stops, shift, little grind. Slightly different noises everytime to. When driving part throttle you can feel a kind of clunk in the shifter, like somethings hitting it.

I dont know what else to describe. Is it the axles? Tranny? Install? Somethings screwed and I need help, I need to drive this car

Thanks guys

This is a d16a6 motor and trans BTW

Alright expletive it, this cars the biggest money pit

I cant even just find any old d16 tranny either can I? Ive got a 6 puck sprung clutch that I absolutely must keep

The car is an 88 Crx Si, the trans I believe is a 89-91 I'll have to check my pm's for what lsd mike told me

Finding a crx tranny around here could take freaking weeks

wait, what motor, what tranny??? if its a z6 tranny its been converted to cable, or the car has been converted to hydro. either way, look for a D tranny that is hydro if its hydro now, or cable if its cable now. they are cheap on here, just look around. i would definately try draining and flushing the tranny first though.

Its an 88 crx si with an 89-91 crx cable tranny

All these trannies just bolt up? Like a hf or a z6 tranny and such?

And they will work with my clutch and flywheel?

schardbody

NO, any cable D series tranny will work, any 92+ will need a conversion kit to work. the clutch and all is the same for 88-2000 sohc as well as the flywheel. the only differance is 88-89 use a differant TOB or something.
