Heya,
Decided to register since it seems you guys frown on lurkers that just want to read...
Was trying to find some parts and information for my '89 Accord LX-i 5MT 4 door.
I'm from Mid-Southwest Washington state not too far from Olympia
I bought my Honda from a family member(Won't do it again, promise.) not knowing it had a few other issues with it. I went into the deal knowing that I had to replace the radiator. but not that it had no 5th gear.
*Edit-> Oh, it has 320,000 Miles on it. Engine runs like a top aside from an oil leak I haven't located yet. Halp?
It's blue (B49-M) pretty clean body with a couple dings, and no rust.
Sunroof leaks. Don't know what to do about it, it's seal looks pretty intact. previous owner has sealed the portion that isn't under a visor.
Ended up having to get a new battery because it had no more cranking amps left. I assumed it was fine/had a bad connection because it showed 13.8-14.1 Volts all the time
So here I am, pleading for help with my Honda.
I need a few things for it like,
a new/used gearset, some information on how to replace said gears.
a new driver's door window regulator assembly
new heater/air controls
information regarding what belt I need to re-enable the A/C Compressor.
The transmission being my first and foremost priority.
Sadly I cant find any 3gs in the yards near my home because they have sold all of their old crap for scrap money. I am unable to find any information as to where to get such things. Furthermore, NEW parts from online or retail stores are kind of out of my budget until I get a job. If that happens, I'd most likely have a shop do it.
I ask for information on how to do the replacement of these gears because I have access to a shop, but not the experience.
I want to fix this before 4th goes out on me.
After I got done kicking myself in the ass for buying it without highway testing it, I immediately fell in love with it. it was a really nice step up from my 1982 BMW 320i e21. Got a nice basic sound setup to boot and a cool winter jacket in the trunk :D
