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

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.

I hate C52s mad.gif
The 2nd gear syncro is going bad on mine
and my car only has 94,000 on it. My Corolla
has a bent 3-4 fork and bad 3rd syncro.
lagos
are the axles you had in there OEM, or have they ever been replaced?

try to measure the diameter of the input shafts and compare them. sometimes, they machine those shafts down when they rebuild them, and that could be causing your problem (if you're on rebuilt axles). also, make sure new axle seals were installed correctly. my drivers side axle has a fair bit of play in it too, but its never leaked any oil.

man that completely sucks.

When i had it the only problem was a bad oil seal frown.gif

thats exactly what we were afraid of. find out as much as you can about that tranny.


I know for sure the auto axles are fine (aside from being the same part in the EPC) I've had my 97 auto axles in my 95 transmission for over a year now with no problems. If I wasn't 100% sure I would have told you to get them anyway.

we put new seals in it. I think you might have a bad tranny or something internaly not right. The axles are fine, that isn't the problem.

Dan, just a question, you had your 7a w/tranny (just over 100K on it right ?), and you bought another tranny with a few less miles than your had (85K), Why did you buy a new tranny ? Did you think you had a problem with your stock tranny ? Why would you buy another ? You wanted to swap anyway and not use any 7a stuff, so why another tranny ?

I hate so sound like a jerk or point fingers but if I bought a 2nd tranny it would be for a reason...because the one I had was bad or going bad...
ILuvMyCelica95
just a small update since i just got back from vacation.

1. I am really angry. I now have to find a tranny shop to take my car to and in all honesty i don't have the $ for it right now. So my car will most likely be towed to my house and it will rot in my garage until i can do something about this.

The axles are fine. Both of them, and they are both OEM. There is something internally wrong with the transmission. From what I was told I'm either going to have to get a new transmission or the one in the car now has to be rebuilt.

I'm just really upset which i think is understandable since I can't drive my ****ing car.

shame you got a bad tranny tina...i had a bad feeling when you told me it had been sand blasted..
if you can source a GOOD tranny, im sure we could work somthing out to get it in, even if it means a road trip.

rolleyes.gif wow talk about assumptions and false information....

a) the tranny had ~102k if i recall correctly (i haven't seen my gauge cluster in awhile)
b) I NEVER bought another transmission.
c) Tranny was working when I took it off the car. I drove the car into the garage and then removed everything.
d) I got a second motor + tranny combo for a 7afte build (after i already tore apart my car), then decided against that plan, leaving me with 2 MT 7afe setups.

you should really get your facts straight before making up stories....maybe yall ****ed it up with JDM YO installz rolleyes.gif

dan, since IM the one who installed the tranny, a few notes.
i cant see how you can really screw up the tranny itself installing it. only thing i can see is bending the input shaft, or gouging the seal seats (one of which was a bit scratched up when the tranny arrived here) which clearly is not the problem here.
dont talk about making up stories, then go ahead and make one up yourself.
dustins words are his own, so i wont speak for him, but if your gonna talk about something that I installed, dont quote him, and talk to me.
in case you havent noticed already, i never blamed you in my posts, and still wont.
i never liked the idea of the tranny being snadblasted, but that dont mean, (and i dont think, BTW) thats what caused her problem.
could just be a case of bad luck for all i know, and to be honest, i dont really care WHY its broke. cause at this point that really dont matter.
i just wanna see it fixed, one way, or the other.
smile.gif
tina, have you asked jeff what he did with his tranny from his swap? i cant remember off the top of my head if he still has it or not, im thinking no, but you never know.
