is it safe to move my car back and forth a couple feet with only one axle (passenger side)? it also does not have tranny fluid at the moment and is missing the rear mount bracket. am i looking a some big problems if i put the car in gear and move it in and out of my driveway slowly? ive done it about 2-3 times already and it seemed fine. i just want to make sure its not gonna fudge anything up. any info or suggestions is appreciated

 

if you have 1 axle and you have no LSD your car wont move.

 

running your transmission without fluid is not the best idea unless you don't care about your car. Would you run your car without oil??

 

yea but being that its a few feet, i dont think theres much friction going on in the trans. or am i mistaken?? i understand that the motor needs oil due the the pistons constantly moving is this the same case with the trans? i just need to get it moving until i can get that dam drivers axle to fit and im unable to push the car with that one axle in.

 

put a jack under the front and push it around on the jack

 

i was actually dooing that at first but not only does the warning lable point out its dangerous, my front cross member is under construction at the moment (freakin 4-1 headers!!)

 

its only dangerous if someone is laying under the car when your doing it. buy some wheel dollys or get someone bigger to push the car

If it has a helical LSD, it still won't move.

If it has a clutch-pack LSD, it will move.

 

Why cant you just...PUSH it?...Its a Honda dude...it dont weigh **** lol.

 

are you talking about turning on the car and moving it or just pushing it?

 

just ******* try.

it aint gonna hurt anything.

It will be fine a few feet, the worse part is that since you have no axle installed in your hub you have no preload on the wheel bearing which can destroy it if you move the car aound alot.

Yeah. You can mess up the wheel bearing, but probably won't.

Don't worry about the transmission oil, there's a coating on everything inside there.

then turn the car on, put it in neutral and push

 

id push it man.. dont you have a itr tranny... i wouldnt take a chance at messing that thing up...

 

here's and Idea. REMOVE THE OTHER AXLE. move the car back and forth. that's what an ebrake is for!

I think you should blow it, get a big sheet of your moms bed and tie it to the front of your car and then get a big, big fan and blow your car where ever you want to.

It'll work I promise!
