1 - What do you mean how do you remove it?

2 - I'm not sure, I'd have to see it

3 - No.

Though if you're doing a B18 swap and you have the entire totaled 'teg a bigger rad never hurt anybody.

 

Remove the shiftlinkage from the tranny so we can yank the motor...... shes gettin a stock d15

It just unbolts from the shifter...

I think there's a clip on the tranny side..but I usually pull the whole linkage too (b/c it gets in the way when putting **** back in through the bottom)

 

i see a nut but nothing fits it 8-12 m is too small and 13 is too big

Try standards...something has g2 fit that bolt...didn't think there was any standards, but hey, the lugs are standard.

1. You have to remove it from the shifter and pull the cables with the engine.

2. How badly is it stripped if its so bad that the ball keeps spinning and doesnt come off then you may need to cut it off and replace the ball join.

3. Doesnt have, its more of a personal perference. If you want more room what you do is move the PS (if she has it) over the shock tower area and pull the AC compressor over the rad support and thatll give you plenty of room. Also take off the header.

 

1. how do we remove it any steps?

if you are talking about the auto shifter, then just remove the center console, you will see the bolts to the shifter, unbolt it from the floor board.

about the castle nut? if you are trying to seperate it from the lower ball joint but can't. do what i did. loosen or re,ove the strut/spring assembly to give some play, then unbolt it fom the sub-frame and remove the bolts from the control arm, since honda was smart enough to make the LCA 2 pieces. this way you can now remove the axle.

and for the a/c condensor & radiator. you hve to unbolt this from the engine anyway to remove the engine. might as well remove it from the engine bay too. it'll will give you more room to work and less chance of the eninge damaging the coils on both, while you are pulling and installing the engines.

 

oh BLUE EH3, what ever you do, do not loose or throw away the harness to the auto shifter. keeping this will make it easier to starting the car. not having to connect any wires. just a plug n play.

 

HOW DO I REMOVE THIS SHIFTER CABLES

 

Did you take off the center console? Once thats off youll see the cables and you just take them out accordingly. You have to take the whole auto shifter off, i believe theres 4 or 5 screws holding it in.
