the guy swapped it in himself....it has a few trans problems he described it as this

"The trans. is definately usable, I've been driving it just fine. It doesn't grid if you're nice to it. But it doesn't like to down shift into 2nd gear until the vehicle's speed drops down to about 15 mph or so. And fourth gear has trouble some times if it's rushed. On the shift from 3rd to 4th, it takes about one second before it will shift smoothly into gear. It's really not as bad as all that sounds though, you don't notice it once you've gotten the hang of it."

i don't plan on having that engine/trans in there for too much longer if i buy it...but i'm sure i'll have to drive on it for a while....So what does this sound like? Is it serious? If you know i'd appreciate some help thanks

 

Sounds like the problem I had with my old integra. In my case it was the syncros in the tranny. Same exact problems as you described.

 

well i bought it, and i found a hole in the crank case. But i have the engine and trans from the CX. Does anyone know if i could replace the crank case with the one from the CX? Or maybe just bolt on the CX tranny to the D16Z6 motor?

 

By "crank case", do you mean the transmission case? If so, you'd be better off to just swap in the CX tranny (D series blocks have the same trans bolt patterns, if i'm not mistaken). Your gears will be alot taller on the CX trans, but it should work.

 

how much work is that.....should i do it or just ride a busted a. tranny for a month or so?

 

work is work......sounds like youve never jacked with car b4 so itll take you days probably......took a guy i know 6 hrs 2 just find out what the hell bolt was hangin his tranny up......peace

would i have to pull the motor and all that or is it just a simple Jack stand procedure?

 

well I drove on a busted tranny for 2 monts... no 2nd gear...and no reverse.. but finally replaced it with a good tranny..hmm it's bareable but it makes u worry all the TIME =P I'm actually not used to using 2nd gear =P..

 

Well think about it, the tranny is bolted to the motor and has its own mount, what do you think?? And as far as it being simple.... If you dont know the answer to the first question then no i dont thinkits gonna be simple... I suggest buying a Helms manual so you can at least be somewhat guided.... Good luck and have fun....

I like the set up you're lookin' at, but the tranny is fuked up. Mine was like that for 3 weeks, then is seized in a way. No matter where I shifted, with or without clutch, I was stuck in 1st gear all the way home. Get a different tranny, 92/95 SOHC, from $50-$400.

A 1.5 tranny's good price is $50-$150

A 1.6 tranny's good price is $100-$250

But never pay more than $300, unless it's coming with a warranty/gurantee of some kind.

 

u could also transplant the gears from the z6 tranny into the case from the 1.5 ask mistabone about this he is the d-series tranny guru.

 

hmm......i will probably just ride on it until i can get the swap in. Cause i don't want to spend anything on it

 

want new trans. look below.

 

no

 

jb weld the hole and feed it fluid
