I just picked up a 1990 EF hatch with a GSR motor and cable b16a transmission.

I started redoing all the wiring because a lot of wires were just stripped together or crimp connected. And Vtec and other things weren't wired up yet.

I happened to notice a bolt hole in the transmission while i was shining a light in the engine bay. I've searched but cannot figure out what goes in here. I can see a gear spinning if i rotate the wheels.

The previous owner kept having the passenger axle seal replaced because it kept leaking tranny fluid, but i think this may be the source of the tranny fluid.

Any ideas Honda Tech?

 

Isnt that the reverse idler gear bolt?

Here it is installed:

 

That's it! Thanks. Guess I'm going to the junkyard this weekend to try to find the reverse idler shaft/bolt.

 

Ok guys. I just got back from the junkyard with no luck. Does anybody know the part number for the reverse idler gear bolt? Or a link to where I can buy one?

 

According to hondapartsnow.com the part # is 90012-ps1-000. Doesn't look like it is in stock anymore. Gonna hit up some stores tomorrow after work now that I know the thread is 10x1.25.

 

I have a spare one from a b16.

 

Pm'd you
