ok, please help
i have a 94 civic with the 1.6 vtec d16z6

i took the tranny out to change the crank seal and realized it was the input shaft seal that was leaking so i opened the tranny and changed the seal and the bearing, i followed the fsm and i was sure i did everything right. when i got it all back together i can feel all the gears but the wheels dont move. the speedo goes up any time i give it gas, even if its not in gear. reverse makes the whiring noise. with the clutch pedal out its grinds if i try to put it in reverse or a higher gear so i know the clutch is engaging. what could it be? i put new driveaxles on so im going to check that first the guy at the dealer ship said they might be the wrong ones, but they fit in perfect.
i would appreciate any help, ideas, or advice. this is my daily driver/only car and im doing all this in the rain ill check back frequently, and post back when the drive axles are off

thanks in advance,
Morgan

I bet you didn't push the axles all the way in...

passenger side axle should be flush into the tranny and the driver's side always has a 1/8 in gap for me but they work

I'm having a similar problem.

I have a 92 dx hatchback
I swaped in a D15b SOHC vtec engine off a 95

For the trans I got a 96-00 trans P4A-B000 from a d16z6 SOHC vtech
I installed the drive axles from the stock dx trans P20-a000 that I took out of my car .

when I got it all together, I got a low crackling noise coming now and then when taking off in 1st and after shifting to 2nd. and 3rd sometimes does not engage. But 4th & 5th shift smoothly every time. While other times it all works just fine.

since I'm using 92' driveaxles on a trans that is 96-00,
I was thinking that the drive axles are not compatible.
another thing is do I need to change the shift linkages too?
Or did I just get burned for a lousy trans?
any info will help.

You got burned. All '92 - '00 D-series axles are interchangeable, even the automatic ones. Btw, that transmission is from a D16Y8 not a Z6.
