i have a L3 tranny from a 90 civic si.... something broke from inside..... but the case is fine. now.... my friend just gave me a hf 5 speed tranny.... wanted to know if i can change all the internals from the hf into the L3 case.... cause the hf is 21 splines and the L3 is 20...... and i have the clusth an all.... its going into a jdm d15b sohc v-tec motor.....any info would be helful...

 

what broke inside? maybe you can just swap some parts from the hf tranny and keep most of the si guts

<---- doesnt know much about tranny rebuilding

 

just remember that the guts from the HF (in terms of the differental) and all that jazz are about 1/8" smaller in dia. then the dx/si brothers.....but seeing as how you said Hf guts into the L3.....i don't know if the main shaft will accept the Hf gears...but i could be way off.

:: this comment is real wishy washy, charlie brown style::

 

thanks guys......

i don't know what broke..... but what happened was that it poped out of gear....that i put it back in gear and the car wont move..... i took it out and looked tru the axel holes and just see some gear.... just there.... lose...

 

****.....that's not good at all....Time to crack that bitch open.....i was about to say add oil to your tranny to make it stop popping outta gear...but then you tell me you can look at a gear through your differential and that's usually "UR FUCKED" comment......sorry to hear it...

 

you cant do anything man ur screwed, the HF diff. main beadin and other bearings are smaller then the ones in the SI

time to chuck both of em

haha

He's right. Don't throw them away. Ship them to me! I love broken transmissions!

You wouldn't want to do that swap at all unless you you hate straight line performance and love to get good gas mileage. I've got the original trans from my si left over from my sway. Sell it to ya for cheap.

 

well u live kind of far? pm me a price anyways.... thanks... any info if the si axels would fit the hf tranny?

what years is teh HF tranny you have??

if its a a 89-91 one, u dont need a diff clutch, but if its an 88, u need a 88 clutch

 

its a 21 spline..... so i guess 88....

 

hey ur better off putting in si gears or dx gears u dont want the whole tranny gearing to be too long and the hf will do that

 

well a realy don't care about the gearing i ran out of $ and i need this car running ASAP......
