(see assembly pics below)

Just like the title says... Need the 3/4 shift fork & 3/4 shift collar out of any 96-00 D-series 5-speed tranny. Now, the 3/4 shift fork is assembled to the 5 shift fork and you must drive out a mini bitch-pin (5mm roll pin) in order to separate the two... SO, I will purchase both forks assembled to keep you from having to separate them.

Same idea for the 3/4 shift collar... for simplicity's sake, if the price is right, I will just as well purchase the entire mainshaft assembly so that you will not have to dis-assemble the gear set. In addition, again if the price is right, I would be interested in the countershaft assembly as well. This may make it worth your time to dis-assemble a tranny you've got laying around...

Would also be interested in the reverse idler gear as well.

Willing to pay decent $$$ to make it worth your time to tear a tranny down if need be... Keep in mind, as shown in the pics below, I can purchase a new fork directly from Honda for less than $70 so... you know...

PM or txt Derek @ 4(one)0 - 4(nine)3 - 1(six)1(nine)

Thanks!

 

You've been at this "Honda" thing for a while now, so you should know as well as anyone; you'll never in a quadrillion years find that synchro slider. If I knew where to get one, I'd buy it for myself, just to have something to fill the gap in my wall-safe between my Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant.

I doubt if this helps, but I *do* have a mainshaft assy. #4 lying around, still factory vacuum-sealed, looking nice and pretty, except... the bag containing the 3/4 slider has been ransacked and refilled with an old, annihilated one.

The receipt's even still in the box: $219 + $20 s&h. Dated '06. Looks like prices have gone up a bit since then. I remember the next time I needed that 3/4 slider, it was cheaper just to buy a whole Y8 tranny off ebay. Remarkably, it actually WAS grind-free, as advertised. That must've been 1 in a million. As you can imagine, adult-owned, grind-free tranny's don't often end up out of the car and onto ebay.

Anyhoo... If you can use all/some of the remaining gearset, let me know. I'd be happy just to sell it cheap to another adult whom I know will make good use of it.

Thanks for the offer, but really the only thing I need is the slider. I'm putting in carbon-moly synchros so it'd be somewhat pointless to grab that off of you seeing that someone (something's telling me that's you) has gotten the goods out of it already.

I guess the thing is... With all the *craze* that my fellow B-series motor has generated, I figured there's got to be somewhat of a surplus of 96-00 5-speed trannys laying around. That is why I basically offered to buy all of the internals; to make it worth someone's while to separate the cases.

I have access to MANY junkyards and I KNOW there's a few trannys that I need in there as well. Unfortunately, "free time" is somewhat of a rare commodity these days at this particular point in my life. I'm rebuilding this tranny to sell for profit, so it isn't exactly keeping me from driving to work or any such thing.

Bump it up anyways...

Now I guess you need to make room for a Pegasus

 

I have no idea what you're talking about... ...



Mother of God... Welp, I guess the car gods called my bluff, 'cause I'd actually rather be shot than mess with a transmission these days. I remember typing some huge thread entitled "how to field strip an OBX LSD"; that was back in the day when I used to regularly remove my engine/trans just to clean it... And then I'd spend a week taking pictures and writing "how-to" threads. I also used to swap in a stock long-block + exhaust every 2 years, just to pass smog, then I'd swap back the next day.

Of course, I haven't touched my Civic since one of my Skunk2 retainers dropped an exhaust valve and I blew my engine/turbo to bits. After that, I just towed the car home, threw a cover on it, and it's been sitting ever since. Once you're pushing 30, and you blow a motor, it's just easier to drop $2k on a new "daily driver" Accord than it is to spend $8k + 8k buckets of blood/sweat/tears on rebuilding.

Anyway, you kids today sure have it easy. "Synchrotech"... never heard of it. You used to have to WORK for things when I was young . I actually used to drive 10+ hours to meet with Joe Alaniz and Earl Laskey when I was assembling my engine, as they were two of the only people around who would work on Honda engines. Now, though, you've got everything you'd ever need, right there on eBay. Damn kids!!

 

Wow, I actually remember reading that thread... absolutely 100%... crazy how things go around here...

That is exactly why I am NOT going to purchase that one on eBay or order the fork from Honda... It would cut my profit margin in half (because as you may have read in my origin post, this project is solely to fund my current turbo project) I went to the junkyard during my lunchbreak today and there it was... Actually another Y8 tranny... which I intend to grab this weekend, but if I end up pillaging that one for parts on the off chance that those particular parts that I'm looking for are good, I'm still in the same boat because I'll want to rebuild that one and sell for profit.

So... I'll keep this thread alive for now...

 

Modify the wider 96-00 shifter fork to work with a 92-95 slider/sleeve from Synchrotech, $50 and 10 minutes to modify.



You can buy a new 3-4 slider/sleeve, I bought one from Gearspeed years ago for approx $160.

The problem is the 96-00 sleeves wear much faster than the 88-95, which also damages the steel forks.
