i just got done doing the auto2man swap on my 90 crx dx. drive like a race car now, but i have a couple questions.. first, i got the trans from a 90 civic unknown submodel, but the trans has a vacume port on the top of it. does this need to be hooked up and what is it for. also, in a normal shift patter, 5th gear should be in the uppermost right. well, its not. it is 4th gear. fith gear is where 4th is (center bottom). any ideas on that one. other than that no problems. however, the write up should state that the flexplate bolts are a major mother-f$%^king pain in the ***!!!!.

 

Huh, you are saying 5th gear and 4th gear are in reversed positions?

 

yes, and i have no idea what. at least thats what it feels like when i am driving. when i am in what should be 4th, and i go to shift into 5th, the rpm jump up like it downshifted.

 

Hmm, im clueless are you sure there is a spot for 5th gear? maybe you have a std model 4speed tranny

 

well, i know that it shifts into 5 different spots plus reverse. do its a 5 speed, but i dont know as to what would make it backwards. came out of a 90 civic that was good as of the beginning of this year. thatsn what the date on the oil filter said.. jan 06.

That's not a vacuum port, it's like a "vent". it's supposed to be open to let built up gasses or wutever out.

 

i'm sayin the same thing sounds like you have a 4 speed.

 

I agree it has to be a 4 speed transmission out of a Std Civic

 

It's the 4 speed for sure.

 

its a 5 speed, im just retarded. the li9nkage is so sloppy, that i was downshifting into 3rd when i thought i was going to 5th its a 5 speed. but i have to tighten up the linkage a ****-ton
