I have a 1994 Civic DX (Ej2). I'm currently swapping in a b18b1 engine and transmission. When I first bought the transmission, the person I bought it from told me that the 3rd and 4th syncro's were bad on it.. so I ordered new syncros and blocker rings.. I followed a transmission teardown/rebuild post on here.. and I had no problems whatsoever. So I sealed it up, and i tried to shift through the gears with just a screwdriver going through where the shift linkage goes onto and it wouldn't do anything and it locked up.. has anyone ever experienced this problem and if so, how did you resolve it? This was my first time tearing into a transmission so it is expected that I messed up some how. Please let me know if there is anything that you can think of. Also, I need bolt dimensions for the bolts that go into the housing for the transmission mount, and also the dimensions for the bolts that go into the T bracket. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

you may need to let the transmission turn over to help line the syncros up. I hope when reassembling u did not bend the holder that lets the linkage slide; side to side to go in 1-2 and 5 and reverse. if this is damaged at all from forcing the allen bolt in you will have problems. did u get the snap ring to snap in place over the countershaft bearing after sealing it up?

 

Yeah, everything went smoothly, it all closed up and everything was all good. I have no idea.. I need to order shift stabilizer bushings for the linkage.. so I'm praying I just need that torque
