[pinkrimedpiggy]

[b18JDM]

like when i take off i put it in1st and then give it gas and the speedometer will read like it normally would and in 2nd all the way to 5th but the tires dnt spin

Axle popped out or fracked tranny. Probably axle.

[b18JDM]

fracked tranny? im go look right now

[pinkrimedpiggy]

thats because your spedo cable is attached to your tranny.. im gonna have to agree with the axle idea.. look under you car and see if there is anything hanging down.

[DelSolSweetie]

if he just did that swap he might have not hooked up everything right

[b18JDM]

no it ran good for the 8 months then i head transaxel popping and jerking me to the right nad it was bad

[pinkrimedpiggy]

check your trans axle then..

[DelSolSweetie]

that would make too much sense

 

lol

Wow you have no clue what youre talking about.

 

 

What year civic?

[pinkrimedpiggy]

and why don't i?

[Raley]

Well... if the axle was "hanging down" he would have WAY more problems then it popping out. If its 92+ it doesnt have a spedo cable.

[pinkrimedpiggy]

ok.. i did do some research and your right 92+ have speed sensors so i stand corrected.. thank you i learned something today but still it could have popped off or messed up the splines and is just spinning.

[Raley]

You cant pop out the axle without pulling atleast one bolt out of the spindle. It will look like its in but not be. MIGHT leak some oil and will not spin since the splines arent in...

[pinkrimedpiggy]

maybe he didn't notice he did pop a bolt.. just saying its a possibility.

[b18JDM]

well its an 89 hatch and the spedo cable does go into the tranmission

[Raley]

Have you ever even looked at suspension? If he popped a bolt then a wheel would be destroying a fender and the frame would be on the ground.

[pinkrimedpiggy]

so your telling me that if you pull out the axle ( half shaft) the the suspension would completely drop?

 

well its an 89 hatch and the spedo cable does go into the tranmission

thank you

[Raley]

No, im saying you cant get the axle out without removing something suspention.

[pinkrimedpiggy]

ok well if its not the axle then what do you think the issue is?

[Raley]

Its about a 99% chance its the axle but just looking at it wont show its out. The other option is blown differential but still good ring gear... ive never actually seen it or heard of it happening.

[pinkrimedpiggy]

Axle popped out or fracked tranny. Probably axle.

 

uh arn't you the one who suggested the axle popped out in the first place?

[cmgogo]

the axle splines could have come out of the diff, that is what raley means, not the whole damn axle came out of the trans. Happens sometimes, esp if you were rough on your axles when putting them in, or if you did not install them with the ring installed on the input end of the axle.

 

Damn your daft.

[Raley]

WOOT WOOT CORY!!!

 

or if you just didn't push it in all the way... ive done that one before (damn rushing a clutch job on my own car)

 

so its a EF with a z6 motor... not z6 swap... there is a HUGE difference. Pink, you really should look at a component of your car that is NOT located on the interior.

 

also, sorry to the OP for being to quick on my crappy responces, i was on my phone which has the worlds craptiest keyboard... so my answers were short.
