sorry for the doble post but i fond more bad shit my right cv is fuckt
, :ugh: i got the hub off but the fucking thing dint wana come out the trany i pryde the shit out of it it wouldent snap out my left came out like nothing my right would come out an inch and thats all i put a bar in thier and had my brother kick the crap out of the bar then it came out and the

iner shaft before the teath looks like somthing was grinding it its all chew up
near the seal i dont wana pull the cv of cause its a pain and i know the bolt that gose threw the lower contol arm wont undo i will have to cut it and i dont wana do that :sad2: last night i was actuly dreaming about torching my car it was a good dream :help: :help:

the only thing i can think of a scrweed up splines on ur shaft was due to the atf and the pwr steering fluid mixing together. Its new to me that the seal on the speedo sensor fucked up on u. Thats strange. Also changing the cross memebers is not hard, but its a pain in the ass. Cause the front will come out easy once u pull the radius rod bolts from the front. The rear cross member is the hardest cause it houses the steering rack, so u gotta unbotl the 10mm bolt on the bottom of the steering column under the black cover on the floor pan to get the rack and the cross member to come down as one unit. Even then u got the lines going to it. So i would say just keep that and swap the whole thing to the one in ur parts car (including the pwr steering rack) and bolt it back up, Atleast thats how i did it.

When i got my DX, the cross memebers were rotting out, The car was in Toms river, near the shore here in NJ and with salt and what not, it was rusted. So i pulled the ones off my wrecked LX cleaned it good and sprayed it with the rubberized underbody coat so that i dont have to worry about it getting rusted (even tho it had no rust).

I swapped this with my uncle's help and i swaped both my front and rear corss members together cause i didnt feel like changing one at a time and this was all done with both the cars a foot off the ground. A lot of back breaking time, but it was done in like 3 hours, not bad.

As for your transmission. I would say just get the whole another tranny and the axles, Just till the outer boots with the balls exposed so that u dont have to knock out the spindle nut. Thats how i swappped my tranny/engine. I made sure that the axle was out (this requires removing the whole knuckle) and then to swap the knuckles to my Dx from my Lx, i just opend up the boot, took it carefully to my DX, made sure no dirt got in and then put it in how they are supposed to and it is good and i have about 25,000 miles on my car after i did that and my boots are like new and the axles never broke or leaked any fluid. So i would say do the same and i know u have done it already and about a day, u should be done with ur crossmember and ur tranny swap.

As for disabling ur speedo sensor, well dont. Just get a new seal for the replacement, get new hoses for the pwr steering line (its to lube it) and u shold be good to go.

YEA thanks a bunch for ur suport and help today i got alot done but could have done more laying on the ground the last few days has made me sick as fuck :barf: now as tomorow i will be bolting the good trany back in place i wana know can i use synthetick atf decsetron 3 or do i have to use 2 or do i have to get special honda stuff i dont wana get the honda stuff cause one i dont have a car to get to the honda dealer 2 its to much $$ when ur on a 30$ budget and i also took the speed sensor of the blown trany and it wasent the speed sensor that fuckt me cause its all clean and new and dosent have any power fluid on it on the inside it was dry so my guess the shity dealer i got my car from used to much lucus trany shit :mad:
WARNING :NEVER USE LUCAS ANYTHING ONLY USE IT IF U WANA KILL THE PART OF UR CAR U POUR IT IN ALL IT DOSE IS EAT UR SEALS . :barf:

They dont sell Dexron 2 anymore. I was looking for it at the toyota dealership for my dad's 90 camry and the sales guy said they dont sell them anymore adn the dexron 3 works just fine. He also said any regular atf fluid works too. but this is for the honda, so call up ur local honda dealership and ask them what u can do. it should not matter.

note: even tho i got a 5spd, i dont pour any other additive to my tranny besides just the motor oil. Tho i hate additives, tranny's are good left alone.
