allright so last night i finished my 5spd swap. what a nightmare. it took me a week becuase i kept running into problems. anyways everything is all together and the cars on its wheels. car starts great, shifter works great and clutch pedal has plenty of pressure. everything is bolted on tight as can be and my axels are new. wiring is all done correctly as well.


my problems is that when i went to reverse it out of the driveway when the clutch engages you hear a mad loud clunking noise and the car shakes. i tried it in 1st and 2nd too but just cant seem to get going too far because it founds like somethign is gonna get really damaged more then it is.

 

hey i have the same problem i just finished my rhd 2.2 96 5speed but the axles wont line up right and it wont take first butit will take reverse di you get any solutions yet

 

Nah i m still not sure what's goin on with it. I think the tranny I got has a bad gear assembly or syncros. Or even the differental. So im taking out the tranny and gonna get another one. Sucks so bad. Ill keep in touch on the news

 

bump.... i need help

 

bump bump

 

i dunno man, i you say u hooked everything up correctly i dont see what would be the problem. where did u get the trans???

 

I did my 5spd swap and I had some strange noises, turns out I just had to tighten the ds axle nut about one more complete turn. BTW, which write up did you follow? I got everything mechanical done right but my speedo doesnt work along with some other random electrical stuff

 

so i found out what was going on with my car. the noise was the drivers axle snapped in half at the boot. so i replaced it and the same damn thing happend. i figured out that the 99 acura cl's wheelbase is diffrent. its accually wider. so the axle i got from that car was a inch too long so it was bending the axle too much and they kept snapping. i got a new axle an accord and my cARS RUNNING SO NICE.


i also need wiring help. my spedo doesnt work ethier. so i have the 5000rmp rev limiter, no vtech and reverse lights need to be fixed. so any1 with some knowledge on the wiring plz help. i did all the wiring correct as of 'Turbowa's' SWAP INFO.
