Thoughts on new manual transmission?

[Vanilla Sky]

When did 12/16" become a measurement.

That a common core thing?

For some people it becomes easier to compare 9/16 and 12/16 than it is to compare whatever they are teaching in common core.
I don't want someone to go nuts saying that they can't compare 9/16 and 3/4...... lol

None of those transmissions had factory bearings. The pilot shaft/input shaft fitted into a proper size hole in the crank.
Honda doesn't sell those bearings and in some cases won't even know what you are talking about.

I now sell those bearings.
I am the only person in the country who can prevent premature transmission failure.

Some had a pilot bearing, some did not. I'm guessing you need to install a bearing that your old tranny didn't need.

Nice. It's good to see some real problem solving happen on this site.

I have a 5 speed tranny willing to part with.

[Willemsw]

I have ek1 engine and 5 speed tranny I'm practically giving away. Call me at 2103677030.. 300 bucks..motor is not froze.

Or there is not really a problem and somebody is trying to sell you something.

Two sides to every coin.

He took the time to figure out something that no one else has. As long as they aren't priced too far out of line with what sourcing one yourself would cost, then I'd have no problem ordering it through him. It would be cool of him to post the part number, though.

Yes. They did. 91006-634-004. We had the same problems 15 years ago with Honda telling us the bearing didn't exist. But we were looking at it. On vehicles that had never been apart. So we started just keeping them in stock. It was the same bearing for everything, civcs, accords, any four cylinder from the 80's and 90's. If it had a bearing. Not everything did and we couldn't always figure out they why or why not.

SKF-60022 RSJ 15mm inner bore looks like.

I still dont think the mainshaft sticks that far out past the flywheel even to get into the crank. Either way I just flipped 335k miles on my 5 speed with no bearing. How I manage to get to work everyday in my car still a mystery after all these years.

[Jafir]

The bearing goes in the flywheel if memory serves me.

[Jafir]

I think it was the 1987 and earlier accords that had it. And most of the civics even into the 2000s. So your 1988 might never have had it. There might have also been difference between us and Japan built cars. I'm not sure.

Why would the mainshaft sit in the crank? Doesn't that kinda ruin the whole point of having a clutch?

Nope, because it would be in a bearing. Lots of manufacturers do it that way, pilot bearing in the crank shaft. But these go in the flywheel, I'm pretty sure.

[2ndGenGuy]

That would make sense. My Exedy clutch kit for my 1g came with a pilot bearing. It would have pressed into the flywheel and did fit the end of the input shaft. But I've never seen one actually installed in the car, so I didn't put it back in.

[alljacksrides]

So, Honda says it doesn't exist ...because it literally does not exist on the block. It sound like there are no issues with friction or interference. Adding that bearing almost sounds unnecessary. It would just be another part that wears out, adds resistance and needs replacement. If mine doesn't have one, should I really add one?

[Oldblueaccord]

Well i don't have one I got 336k. I just did the clutch about 5k miles ago I never gave it a thought. none of my flywheels have enough room for a bearing but ill recheck again.

If your car takes one sure it cant hurt its just a roller bearing that helps support the main shaft.

Double check it fits on the trans main shaft and everything clears ok.

Take some pictures I am curious despite my post sounding negative.

Hi I am new to the 3gen accords. Mostly prefer the cb7 over these, but hey a free car is a free car, however when I obtained this car the transmission was gone do to the previous owner f**king up and broke the housing do to a bad mount. Now I own a 1988 accord coupe lxi with no tranny... bummer right. It is a five speed. The problem is location of another transmission for this vehicle. Like no local wrecker has one and I am trying hard as hell to think of somewhere one might be or if someone might guide me in the direction of where to look for one online.... anything is helpful please. Also I am a "newb" on this site so I am apologizing in advance if I posted in the wrong section. Just kinda need to get her going again. Thank you

[Redman6971]

TO me it was the same snooz. I think the final drive is alittle different but other then that strong wise and exc. is the same. So i wouldnt really worry bout it.

I am trying to find out if you can replace the E2Q5 transmission with any other kind for the 1988 Honda Accord lxi?

There are posts here about adapting a b series, but nothing that directly bolts on
