I have a 95 civic coupe d16z6 manual trans. it started pulling after i changed my cv axles. i changed my tie rods and had it re aligned. but it still pulls. its worse under acceleration. any ideas ?

sounds like ur transmission took a poop.... i had the same problem on a da i worked on few years back and thats what it was...

what?! no..

what axles did you use?

how hard of a pull are we talking? like grabbing the wheel and running off the road? just changing lanes when you let go? what?

i used oreilly brand. they are brand new not re-man and just like changing lanes the steering wheel will turn like 1/4 of a turn but if i let off the accelerator it comes back. and doesnt pull as bad

at first i would say it would have something to do with an alignment, tire pressure, etc.. but i guess it's possible it could be a tranny problem by the way you're explaining it- pulls hard under acceleration, started after changing cv's.. weird. in for an answer tho

trust me ...its the trans its seldome that happens but it does...

singlecammin

ughhh how long can i go like this?

Im guessing till ur trans blows

9secondcivic

yea till the trans blows or it jus stops delivering power to the wheels!!!...i ment wheel

i talked to a friend about my problem he says its a mount on my steering rack gone bad the reason it wasnt doing it before is that the worn out cv axle wasnt getting all the power to the wheel and now it is. thats why its doing it. what do you all think?

singlecammin

anyone?

i think if you haven't figured it out by now you need to take it to a shop because it isn't going to get figured out.

not trying to be rude, but listening to all this bull crap advice about bad transmissions and cv axles not sending power to a wheel is just that.. bull crap advice.

only things you can check:
-are both axles slid into the transmission? (which they are or your car wouldn't move)
-do all the tires on the car have the same pressure across axles?
-do all the tires have roughly the same state of wear or size or tread pattern across axles?
-does the suspension have any visibly damaged components or freeplay in joints?
-do the 3 main force bearing motor mounts appear failed?
-do all four wheels spin freely?
-is there any noise during suspension operation, or just while driving that could indicate a failed component?

it sounds to me as if an old bushing or something finally **** the bed while changing the axles. now when power is applied to that wheel it changes the suspension angles and causes a pull.

out side of this take it to someone knowledgeable. preferably someone with an alignment rack.
