Ok here's the skinny... I pulled my D16Y7 from my 97 del sol... it sat for a couple of weeks maybe months...

Then I put the complete swap (engine, tranny, shift linkage etc..) into a 94 del sol and when I put it into gear it doesn't move. If I put it into either 2,3,4 or 5th and keep pressure on the shifter the speedo moves as if I was driving.

Now I know the tranny is good cause' It came out of my car and it was running... I'm confused... any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

Shane

**********EDIT**********

Found the problem... I pulled the driver side axle and replaced it with another one I had and it went in even further then the last... That was the problem... I thought that the car would have at least limped or something but I guess not... So the problem was that the axle didn't completely seat in the tranny... Thanks for everyones help!

This might be stupid questions, but your description of the problem was slightly vauge. Are there axles in the car lol? Did you take the motor off the trans at all while it was sitting? Did you mess with the clutch? Did you check the shift linkage to make sure its properly getting into gear?

I'm sorry I was vauge... LOL But no I didn't take the tranny off the engine.. I just pulled it as a whole and installed it as a whole... And I was wondering about the shift linkage but you really can't mess that up right... I mean i've done several swaps before but this is a first for me.... LOL

I was also wondering about that... I know for a fact that the Pass. side is all the way in but I did question the Driver side.. If it's not all the way in could that cause' my problem?

that could cause the problem..make sure you have a shift linkage though that is for your application swap..otherwise that could also be the problem...get like a smale 2x4 and a 2lbs sledge hammer..just to double check if there in there...you will beable to tell if it seats all the way...

The shift linkage is the stock one from my 97 Del sol... Damn it... I did seperate them though when I transfered over the short shifter... I'm gonna have to look at that... FACK!!! LOL

It might be your double wishbone front end suspension with the torsion control arm fogger. I had that one go out on my sick modded civic doke veetak earlier this year . Snapped it off in a 2.5 lateral g turn while running the BFGoodrich TA KD tires on a trail basis for them as a company. Just rip off the unpainted body kit on there and take a look at it. if it is bent then get a new one. but i snapped mine to all hell in that turn while auto crossing in so cal.

well if your shift linkages were in wrong, you wouldnt have a speed sensor reading. If your linkages were in wrong, it wouldnt go into gear. If you rev your car when its out of gear...you wont get a speedo reading.

The speed sensor works from the DIFF ring gear. So your diff is moving, but your axles/wheels arent. So its something AFTER the diff. Check your axles.

Thanks for the useful info. Dumbass! If you're going to give some stupid *** answer then at least try to make it believable... Douche!

You just can't handle the JDM lingo obviously... no but seriously check and make sure your cv axels are connected.

any other ideas?

Stoich EG2

bleed your clutch and make sure your speed sensor plug is REALLY plugged in good. speed sensors need to be pushed in more than any other plug i've plugged in

Sounds like the axels... Not possitive though. Did you say you had to "hold it in gear"? That right there is a huge red flag to me. This means it would pop out of gear, yes?

Dumb question... Did you put oil in the tranny?

DEL HATCH

it sounds to me that it would be your axles.. and if you have to hold your shifter in place for it to be in gear, maybe you tightened ur bolts too tight where you bolt everything up to the frame by the shifter...?

How well-bled is the clutch system?
