hey,

well i just did a swap on the car...and i drove it a few times around the block and then on my street comming back and i hear something snap and the engine is still running but when i press on the gas the car doenst move. also before i took the car out i had the passenger side jacked up and all this oil was comming out of the driver side axel...do u think this caused it? the belt on the alternator is still there and everything else seems fine =\

imported_Team Rukus

timing belt?
did u make sure the thottle cable didnt snap?

civicnation

im not sure what ur describing exactly but either the axel snapped or snapped and then poped out of ur tranny,

imported_Team Rukus

yea if your axel snapped the car will be making noises when u put it into gear and try to move it.

imported_goaT

ok i'll take a look in the mornining...but i checked and the axel seems to be in the tranny...and no the throttle cable is still there...this is messed up!! **** i need to get my car on the road! im gonna sell this piece of [beep]

imported_italstallion

maybe your axle wasnt fully seated into the tranny housing and it popped out??? i hope your tranny didnt seize how much tranny fluid did u lose?

imported_goaT

well not a lot i kept a lil more than i was suppose too...like when i filled it there was fluid comming out of the hole and i just put the bolt back on...so there was little comming out of the axel. when u put the axel in it just goes in easily? but u hear it click in rite? or do u sorta have to hammer it in or something?

chris_si98

you don't hammer in an axle..

you sure its tranny fluid?

It's most likely your axle that popped out.

or if u were beating on the car or had a bad tranny the differential coulda blew up, its happened to me lots

imported_goaT

lol its happend to u lots haha, nah i wasnt beating on the car just slowly driving it down the street...well been busy with that trade show @ the internation center so i cant check it out until thursday so i'll let ya'll know...thanks for the help...unlike some others who think they're all that rude @$$ [beeep] [beeep] [beep] punks!

when an axel snaps it doesnt mean it came out of the tranny or out the hub. it could look normal until you look at the shaft and you see it broken in half.

imported_fiercecivic

sounds like an axel, take a closer look

imported_1PhatCX

unless its in the boot and it broke the cv joint, then u wont see it till the boot comes off lol

jack it up, put it in gear, and move one wheel and see if the other moves, then do the same thing on the other side

also, what kinda swap?? just motor? or motor and tranny?

thaats what happend to me

imported_goaT

well i picked up the engine with the tranny so i just dropped the whole thing in...

imported_Team Rukus

on my accord the axel was snapped in half in the middle and i wasnt able to tell until i actually went and looked at it properly.
