sounds like synchronizers to me. little brass rings w/ teeth on em inside the tranny. maybe try draining the tranny and refilling it with gm synchromesh (gm pt# 12345349) to patch the problem, or just get the trany fixed

heyitzspikey

i just puted new tranny fluid in Honda fluid...can it be something else

The_Honda_Guy

Synchronizers are most likely shot if it's on individual gears, especially if you can't get it into gear when revving it up.

heyitzspikey

would it be cheap to replace the tranny or get it rebuilt?

blackrocky

it would be cheaper just to replace it. if this was my problem i would just buy a synchro kit and do the job myself. it really easy but exclude this fact if you never ripped apart a tranny b4.

okay so i finish my motor swap put the wheels back on and drop it back to the ground.I put the car is 1st gear and gave it gas and it goes no where same with 2 and 3 rd gear. I would put it in gear and let the clutch go it would not die out just stay running.

heyitzspikey

If the drive side axle was not install all the way would it cause it from not going into gear?

The_Honda_Guy

If you can let the clutch out in gear with the engine running and it doesn't stall then you've most likely blown out the clutch or you don't have the axles in properly.

heyitzspikey

okay the problem is the pass side axle its keep popping out any idea i would snap it back into place and when i start the car up and put it in 1st gear it would pop back oout : (

The_Honda_Guy

When you go to put the axle you should get a nice satisfying "pop" when the c-clip pops into the diff. If you don't get that pop, the axle isn't in all the way. Also, are you sure you didn't twist the splines going into the diff?

heyitzspikey

okay i pull the axle out and it have alot of shaving and debris on it? what is this sign tranny is gone?

heyitzspikey

heyitzspikey

and i cant get the cv shaft to lock into place i try making the lock pin bigger but it still wont lock into place..

The_Honda_Guy

Yea... that's bad. You shouldn't have any metal shavings or debris on the axles when you removed them. It's hard to tell from the pictures you posted but it seems like the splines are stripped down on the axle shaft. You shouldn't have to make the lock pin bigger, it should just pop right in. You don't need to force it in there with everything you got, it should simply just pop in.

esean93

would grind the splines on the axles off or the half shaft if the axle ring doesnt snap into place?

heyitzspikey

yeah i try making the lock pin bigger but it would not snap on...bad tranny?

The_Honda_Guy

I'm thinking that possibly the splines are ****ed up and that could be why the axle isn't going in all the way and snapping into place. Just from the pictures you put it something is messed with with the splines on the axle and possibly inside the tranny. If you can get some better pictures up that would be great. If you try to drive it without the axle shaft not inserted properly you could shear the splines off the axle or diff.

heyitzspikey

its a new axle im thinking the tranny is shot thats why it wont go into 5th and rev.
