[ILuvMyCelica95]

Nice work. JDM Guy Tuning to the rescue. I bet it feels
like it has way more power.

I'm convinced it really does have more power haha

wait like a week Tina, when you get more comfortable with it you'll feel the difference

Manny! where is the picture Jenn took at the end with me and Tina and Dustin and the Synchromech bottle...

I swear i feel it too Steff.

tina sounded so hot right there, "this is manny bench pressing my transmission into my car".


congrats on the swap. 3sgte next?

hahaha sarcasm yes?

yea, ummm i dont think thats 6gc friendly..lol

no it's def not!, but i do want to see the pictures that Jen took there is one of my with my baby car

thats amazing work... I'm bit envious you can meet like this and have some "fun" like this .

note: Tina, let me know how do you feel with manual tranny . Especially take-off part of drive . I remember how it was when I was learning to drive

note (for all): here are about 90% of cars with manual tranny . I have driven auto tranny car just once in my life .

it feels a lot better IMO, of course i am not perfect but i think that's expected this is my first manual car

^ Thanks Joe

Update:

I haven't really be able to enjoy this swap because my car has been leaking gear oil.

I called Manny up and he told me what to look for and that maybe the tranny was overfilled and caused a leak.
That wasn't the problem.

To save myself the aggrivation of trying to get my car high enough in my garage I brought my car over to Mavis where my cousin works. We put the car on the lift and saw that the leak was coming from the axle seal on the driver's side. Which would not have been a big deal if it was only a bad seal. We then put the car in gear and let the wheels roll. That's when the real problem showed up. My axle instead of staying straight and turning in the tranny was going up and down.

The leak was happening because the axle was/or looks to be too small for the tranny leaving a gap where it should be sealed. I could literally pull the axle out of the tranny.

So if you are doing an auto to manual swap i suggest getting manual axles.

I should have gotten them but I was told I didn't need them.


Maybe I'm wrong about a size difference. So my question is for those of you who have done this did you get manual axles?

tina, just FYI, the axles are the same for the ST, auto and manual. ( i just checked the EPC)
chances are, the snap ring on the axle was worn, which is highly likely, seeing as how they were used axles.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Well then, my car is just a whore then and decided she did not want old ones she wants new ones.

I'm just glad I caught it before it was a serious problem.

I should have my car back tomorrow so i'll be driving again in no time.

[Harold_Fastwaker]

Yep, no difference in axles. You just swap out the splines if I remember correctly. I know I swapped something on them because I did not order the axles from the yard with my trans.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

what about a 96 transmission with a 95 axle?

[ILuvMyCelica95]

ok another update: the snap ring is fine.

the passenger's side is in very tight as of right now both axles are out of the car when they fit passenger's side to the drivers side it moves around the same way. So they think it's something internally wrong with the transmission.
