Yeah so I bought the 5th Gen clutch setup, and am having a mechanic friend put it in as we speek, while re-building my 5-speed Trany...

My tranny was shot, and the clutch was slipping, so bad between the two that i could not use second, and 4-5 were going to. Second gear was grinding real bad for a while now, and i have been avoiding it till i got this work done. When i got the quote i was told that 2nd gear would have to be replaced while re-building the tranny, and possibly other gears too seeing as how i drove so long with it grinding...

Well needless to say, I called to check in today, and he has the tranny apart, and all he can see that has to be replaced is the syncros & Bearings no gears are bad... I just saved $200-$600 for gears...

YEAH!!!

I AM GETTING EXCITED NOW

I WILL BE BREAKING HER IN FRIDAY IF ALL GOES WELL...

 

Umm..... ok.

 

good luck. Baby clutch for 500 miles. Keep under 3k.

 

did u have any truble removing the crossmember bar? i can untighten the nuts on mine

 

he said his mechanic is doing it. What the point of stating you can untighten the nuts on yours? unless that was a typo?

 

I know this is useless to most of you, BUT I AM EXCITED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN!!!

I have been driving my girls POS Honda accord sence friday, adn am ready to kill my self. It has 275,000 Miles on it and drives like it.
