Default 93 honda auto to manual swap trouble

93 civic auto to manual swap -
thanks so much for your help before. but i ran into another problem. it wont start, .Everythings getting power. i haven't tried jumping the starter. because the key wont come out. so i think its some kind of relay from the auto transmission lock that wont let you take the key out, unless its in park. whould that have anything to do with it not giveing power to the starter

Default auto to manual swap car wont turn over

Finished swap to a manual on1993 honda ex. I put in a 1.5 with a manual tranny.
My problem is the car won't turn over I'm assumeing I need to splice a wire together
Because I can't take the key back out without disconnecting the battery I think the car thinks its in gear or something

Wire the 2 thick black wires, that should let you start it, the on the steering colum remove any plastic covers and there should be a little white box with a screw holding it shut, take the screw out and a pin should either fall out on its own of you will have to pull it out with a flat head, that will let you take ur key out

both of these. Either wire the two thick wires together at the auto shifter, or plug the neutral safety switch back in and move the slider to were the computer will let engine start (thinking its in park, then secure it in place)

ok i have it running but now the engine is moving up and down when I'm driving, the thread that Luserkid posted said to use the auto axles. i used the manual ones my only thing is the manual one driver side is shorter and went in fine. i didnt check the size of the passenger side one but they looked the same. will swapping them fix it or are they the same size

(edit) ok i looked online im pretty sure there the same size any idea what i would have done wrong to cause this the passenger side is also sitting kinda higher

(edit) when were putting the motor back in the passenger cv axle dug into the ground as we where lowering the engine in if a joint popped out or we bent it could that be causing this. its not knocking tho

yup i ordered it off ebay this is it http://outboundlink.me/ib.php?DR_id=...3Fp%3D47891337
i couldn't get it to mount with the other one. Is it possible that it is angled wrong dont think thats possible but you never know

also i used the rear mount from the manual the driver side mount from the auto busted the manual one when putting the engine back in and that conversion one i got off ebay

i drove the car down the street everything is in it just has one hell of a pull and the thing where the engine picks up and the car kinda drives funny
