Ok, My hatch is in the process of an h22 swap.. But I need a lil help with the shifter assembly mechanicism.. I have a good size hole drilled under the audio console for the cables can run.. Ok`.. I have them hook on the assembly inside the car but the assembly is not bolted down yet. When i move the shifter into gears, it goes into all of them accept REVERSE. When I take the driver side cable off the assembly, it goes into all gears and reverse. Its confusing and difficult to explain, but what might it be? The cables or?? Anyone .........?

Do you have the cables on the correct parts of the shifter? Could you have put them on backwards?

2Point2EH2

Nah, it has to be right, because on the tranny, its the only way they match up, and On the assembly, its right because Ive seen pic's, and its the only way it matches up.. ?? HELP.

What mount kit are you using? I'm using hcp and you have to trim a lot of the passenger side trans mount off to clear the shifter mechanism. Have someone look at that mount and the cable when you shift it.

2Point2EH2

Nah, Im using hasport, and Im sure nothing has to be trimed on the tranny..Do you have an Eg hattch?

I have a 94 del sol, but the engine bay is the same. Did you remove the passenger side trans bracket from the frame rail? According to hasport.com, you have to completely remove it so it will not interfere with the shifter mechanism.

2Point2EH2

Yea, I removed it completely.. There is nothing on the framerail. Id hate to bolt it down and it still be missing reverse.. Anyone......???

Will the shifter/cable NOT go into reverse at all? Or can you move the shifter into the reverse position and it doesn't hold or grab? There's a difference if it'll go in and won't get into gear, or if it won't even go in period. If it shifter won't go into the reverse position, then it's the cables and the shifter assembly box ontop of the tranny and you want to check those. If the shifter goes into the position and doesn't grab into gear, then it may be your shift fork and/or bearings.

The only other thing I can think of is to check and make sure that you have trimmed enough out of the center console floor, so that the shifter is not binding under the plate. Hope it works out for you

... It goes into reverse, But only when the left cable isnt hooked up on the shifter assembly.. But when its hooked on, it only goes into 1-5 gears, no reverse..??? What is all that fork,bearings, ect,, your talking about..?

Then if that's the case, your shift forks & bearings are fine (inside of the tranny). How did you route your shifter cables? Make sure you put them OVER the top of the rear crossmember or they won't reach. Also make sure the path of the cables is clear and there's some slack on them and that they're not chaefing on something. It sounds like it works fine, when you unhook one of the cables, so it sounds like it's getting caught up from the tranny to the shifter. Just retrace everything and have somebody move the shifter around while you follow the cables (from underneath the car) back to the tranny.

Ok, where exactly do i Bolt it down? Any h22 swap oners?

2Point2EH2

Ok, Im still stuck with this problem.. I made the hole for the cables under the console. Any H22 swap owners... how did you rout the cables over the crossmember and to the right or left side of the rear mount. This is all Im waitng on, besides a computer, To take it out. ANYONE help.......

h22 civic

change to gm synthetic fluid and my prob went away ive done numerous h22 in civici swaps and most of them did it when the tranny was laying around for a while

2Point2EH2

did you have the same problem?

h22 civic

yuper

2Point2EH2

So you think that might be it? But when you take of the left cable on the assembly, it goes in either way.. What are those things on the tranny that the cables connect to.. Like which does what, and ....? Anyone?

hondaeg5

if you look at the top of the hybrid forum page there is a big writeup on this with pics of the shifter assembly.
