Is that were the stabilizer bolts into? Maybe wrong though.

D16SiHatch

looks that way ^

appears to be a b-series tranny, and it looks like the aluminum portion that the shifter stabilizer slides over has broken off. here is a comparison pic

Well if it's a b-series transmission (thanks for not telling us what were looking at BTW), that broken piece used to be where the shift linkage slipped over and bolted onto. It was a cast-in part of the transmission clutch housing. If the remaining hole is deep enough and still threaded, you may be able to rig something up by bolting on a dowel of correct thickness. Good luck!

Here is what it's supposed to look like BTW:

thank you guys for the replies it is a b series i will try and rig something up if i can ever get the damn motor in my car

lejeaune

ha thanks man

apexi_rsx

wow thats where the other shifter stabilizer bar attaches i dunno how ur gonna "rig" it but make sure its tight

lejeaune

yeah i have no idea how i am going to rig that up its just a hole that i can see into my transmission with any ideas?

Jdmbryan

well do you still have the piece that broke off or no? if so then you can have some one weld it on to the trans and it'll be just fine.. if you dont have the piece then your screwed,try taking it to a shop or somethen.

^^^ THIS, or find an aluminium bung with suitable thread and have a reputable TIG welder weld it on for you.
That's the only "non rig" thing I can think of that's clean enough.

lejeaune

no i dont have the piece that came off. dsm where would i find a bung any autoparts store should have it?

that where ur shift linkage bolts to it broke off

Ah... At last, the mystery is solved.

DSMAddicted

No man. Look for metal supply places near your area.
If you can't find any, go to your local welding shop and ask the guy, he ought to know where to find one.

^^^ LMAO

lejeaune

alright thanks dsm ill do that

You can see inside? That's not good.
As you can see, that part is an odd size and probably not an average part to pick up somewhere. It's ~1" long, ~3/4" diameter and threaded inside. To weld it, the case will probably have to be taken apart to prep it and weld the inside for added strength.

Your only other options are finding another piece of the case and just replacing it. This would probably honestly be preferred.

Or, you could make a new bracket and attach it to a couple points on the case of the transmission to hook the stabilizer bar to. However, you still have to close the hole in the transmission if you can indeed see through there. JB Weld and a plug could work, but everything would the case would have to be very very clean and be very careful, and even then...you don't want it failing and losing all the lube and blowing the trans.

lejeaune

i have a b16 that i can take the part off of but i like the idea of just plugging it up and making a new bracket. what is that stabalizing bar for anyway? besides stabalizing could you go without it?

Solomon1468

You have another b16 you can take the part off of..? can you just use the whole tranny from that other engine? I feel like that would be easiest.

lejeaune

the one with the hole is a j4d i would rather use that one. and the clutch is shot in the b16

usdmed9

Use the good transmission and the good clutch...? And yes you need the stabilizer bar to shift correctly.

lejeaune

yes all is good with the transmission except for the darn hole but thats fixable

fallrivercolin

Just take it to a good welding shop, It's a simple fix really.

usdmed9

Didn't you say you had another transmission that worked? I meant why don't you use that one?
