I have not been able to shift into reverse for about 2 years. I finally got a hold of an SH tranny for my lude and did the swap recently. I had my old tranny taking apart and sure enough I had bad syncros for 1st and 5th, and a bent shift fork. The new tranny is great, so far . It shifts solid and reverse is f@#*ing THERE. Being able to go in reverse is some tight *** ****. I just wanted to share my 2cents about the swap because I know a lot of people have/had this problem. What would you guys recommend for tranny fluid?

 

how did you drive withuot a reverse? lol sweet deal man

let gravity or leg muscles do the work?

thats kinda funny, but at the same time, congrats. as for tranny fluid. ask a honda dealer. Honda MTF is prolly your best bet.

Driving w/o reverse is a bitch:
-Find parking spots to pull through
-Park on hills
-Pull into driveways
-Look for slopes in the street

I think the worse part was having to be careful not to pull into somewhere that I was not familiar w/ and get stuck. I used to call it g-reverse, h-reverse, and f-reverse.

G-reverse: When u let gravity be your friend
H-reverse: When your homie pushes u out
F-reverse: When u suck it up and use your feet in front of all kinds of people

HAHAHAHA. I know the feeling. Yours is worse than mine...but I just fixed my pass. side power lock. I put Dynamat on the door and the tar was holding the lock from opening. I literally fixed it yesterday. Hitting the power locks button never felt so good. lol

Hell yeah that is a bitch.. that's what i have been doing for the past few months. I'm not sure what it is a bent folk or syncros but all my gears work accept reverse. I guess i'm gon' need to get a used tranny.

Is 93 h22 tranny hard to replace or it's just like every other civic?

 

damn gotta give you props for doing that for 2 long years
