Im almost done replacing my clutch, but now ive got a few items left over.
The intermediate shaft isnt bolted up, because the thing that bolts up is backwards.
the rear engine mount bracket holder, ive got it and the bolts but i cant figure out where it goes, and the front engine stiffner I dont think I have that anymore.
If the car will drive without the intermediate bolted in, I plan on replacing the Cv -boots and then Ill bolt it back up, but I really need a car to drive for a few weeks, because I dont have any money
Do you think it will be ok to drive like this?or should I keep buming rides un till I can afford new cv-boots
thanks

new cv boots are cheap. did you say that you dont have your front engine mount? i belive the prelude has 4. running 3 will be ok, as long as you dont abuse the engine... you need to remace the whole axle, or just the boot?

 

cv boots are like $40, I dont even have that much money, Im soooooo broke.
But do you think I need to bolt the intermediate shaft up or wiil I be fine to drive it for a while without it bolted up?
thanks
ive got the engine mounts all in it just two little brackets that I dont know where they go

 

yes, your intermediate shift will keep your axles alligned in the same gear.

 

yes, I need to bolt it up right away or yes I can drive without it bolted up for a little bit?
thanks

 

Please bolt up the intermediate shaft before driving.

man go to an auto parts store I paid $11.00 for one yesterday.

 

aight, ill have get the boots, but there is a cotter pin stuck in the little bolt at the bottom of all the suspension, the cotter pin broke on me, so its kinda hard to get the bolt out,
and also I broke a screw driver trying topush that little inlet on the big bolt that holds the driveshaft to the brakes, any advice on getting them out?
thanks

not a good idea to run it w/o the bracket bolted to the block
but you can pull the axle out of the transmission w/o even messing with the balljoints.

take a look at this pic, number 9 is the rear mount bracket and this is
how it goes in.

 

the part ive got isnt in that pic, but thanks anyways, how can i get the intermediate shaft without taking the ball joints out? just pull it out of the transmission?
thanks
