sohcVTEC-E Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 90 has an engine swap thread so I figured I would start a trans swap thread. Trans is shipping tomorrow morning. Since I have to pay off the ticket, I need to wait till monday (pay day) to order the flywheel. Found one for 160 bucks! Was a steal. Genuine fidanza 7.5 lb aluminium flywheel. Since I can't drive and I work 2 miles from home, I'll probably drop the trans, clutch and flywheel out tomorrow and just leave it all undone till the flywheel gets here and just ride my bicycle to work. Will take pictures of the ghetto ass install. (No torque wrenches/engine hoists/ball joint seperators will be used in this swap!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubs Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (No torque wrenches/engine hoists/ball joint seperators will be used in this swap!) You will def need a torque wrench, seriously. When do you get your license back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I was thinking of renting one from autozone or something... I go to court the 26th of september ie- my birthday... f*ck I need a 12 point socket for the flywheel bolts too. And grease. I forgot about those items. What size are the flywheel bolts?

EH6TunerDaniel Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Flywheel bolts are a 12 point 17. You are going to need a ball joint seperator to take apart the suspension. They are not expensive. Impact definately comes in handy for those flywheel bolts. That way you dont have to hold the other side on, and those bolts are really frackin tight.

buggman26 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeeeeaaa I had to put another tranny in my eclipse without all that crap........yea......you might want to check into getting the torque wrench and a ball joint seperator it definitely made my life hell under that car course im like 5'9" and weigh like 145 so.....not that big of a guy......but BREAKER BARS SURE CAME IN HANDY!!!!

..SSR.. Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 It will take a couple days for it to ship... You need a torque wrench. You don't need a ball joint seperator. Use a prybar to hold the flywheel (using a bellhousing bolt in the block as leverage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I know it will take a couple days to ship but I can't drive anyways... Driving on a suspended license is stupid. Did you ship it SSR? Was there enough money on the MO? Shoot me a PM or an IM on aim with the tracking # Thanks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 SSR had to file off some material on the gear cones. I think he finished it up last night and shipped it today. Waiting to hear from him about a tracking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 My teacher gave me the okay to do the trans/flywheel swap in our shop at college. He said as long as I donate the HX trans and HX flywheel I can do my swap. Should make life a lot easier. Now if SSR would ship the damn thing already!!!!!! I guess he found a crack in the casing and it was causing shifting problems. I hate waiting for this thing. It's almost been three months! Ahhh!

sohcVTEC-E Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Regardless- That is going to look so sick in my engine bay. I am going to start the swap whenever I don't feel lazy. I have two big weeks ahead of me (personal stuff) so after that I'll swap it in there. Also I still need to get some grease, trans fluid, 10 mm 12 point, 17 mm 12 point, and torque wrench. I'll probably get a ball joint seperator too just so I don't break one of my ratchets lol. Edit- A concern I have is the wood shavings from the pallet. I think some got into the diff and the VSS hole. I'm going to do a thorough flush before I put her in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Wow. My craftsman was $75, but believe it was on sale for around $55 when I got it from sears. Funny cause I got one for my dad for christmas and he ended up getting me one for christmas that same year. Funny suprise when we opened our gifts.

Humphries Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 what would look cool is if you painted the block red and it connected with the black, different look in the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GsrCrx Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 what would look cool is if you painted the block red and it connected with the black, different look in the engine bay. I was thinking of doing something like that to my engine before I put it in a rex... since im gonna have it out for a while... Im gonna clean it up with a steam cleaner the best i can and than figure something out from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Rest in peace Transmission.... My little cousin thought it would be funny to pick up the transmission. He dropped it and now there is a HUGE crack in the casing. God that would suck if that really happened... Mods please don't lock cuz I said that lol. I still wanna post pics of the progress. Murrays loans out pickle forks for 40 bucks and torque wrenches for 50 bucks. I bought a 12 pt 17 MM socket and a 12 pt 10 MM today for the flywheel bolts and clutch bolts.

TS John Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 It's always good to do this crap when you have access to another car in case you break a tool and need to run to the hardware store and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I don't have but will have tomorrow is a pickle fork for the ball joints. Oh and why the parts cleaner brush you might find yourself asking.... yourself??? That's my clutch alignment tool lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
