ummmm BFH...??? I duno

Civic She devil

use a hammer and hit the metal were the screw part goes in but d'ont hit the ball joint

imported_gatherer

well I was thinking hit the LCA.....

imported_loudsubz

dont mess up the threads on the ball joint, or bend it with a hammer

just use a pry bar and pry between the space where the LCA and ball joint merge

white92d15b7

ok ok im past the ball joints used a hammer they came un done!!!! i smacked myself in the head with ma johnson bar while removing the rear bolt on the tranny , the tranny fell on me !!!!!!!! and now im working on the rusted to **** shfter bolts for the auto !!!!!!! hope im not coming into any new problems!!!!!!!!!

how do i get the car high enough to get the tranny out from underneath the side ???????

punkindrublic

jack it up... then brace it with something... then start jacking again with stuff under the jack... my favourite is patio stones.... the sky's the limit

white92d15b7

and how do i get the torque converter off the crank shaft?

punkindrublic

good question... i've never touched an auto so i wouldn't know

imported_gatherer

thats aberry interesting .... I gots no clue how to do that

imported_loudsubz

when I took off my auto tranny I just undid the bolts on the torque converter and it came off np, wasn't anything tricky

white92d15b7

yeah i found the bolts for sure !! it fell off i stood up im like awsome i light up a smoke and the floor was covered in tranny fluid!!! squished some fingers in the vise grips!!!!!!!! now im wrestling with the torque converter mount braket bolts!!!!!!!!!! then i can mount the flywheel

white92d15b7

anyone know what i do with the wires i unplug when i take the shifter out?

white92d15b7

well off to bed !!! got everything auto removed except pedal assembly got the flywheel mounted!!!!! still trying to figure out how im going to get the tranny from under the car!!!!! oh well tommorow!! so far 4 hours by myself!!!

white92d15b7

back at it !!!!!!! and got the car high enough

imported_gatherer

well done dude....

bdotdan

good luck dude!

ha ha this isn't a one person job!!!!!!!! trying ot get the manual tranny in place got the clutch in i left the front and back mounts off the tranny i think myself its going ot be easier to bolt the tranny up , then do up the side engine mount then install the two side ones i have now just noticed that the mounts are different on the two tranny's good thing i have both sets i guess!!!!!!!!!
