Alright so im drivin to my work to pick up somethin i left there and im in the middle lane (theres three) and im about to change into 3rd and this B**CH cuts in front of me so i had to stop and slam on my brakes in the process of shifting ..i dont know how it all went down but all i remember is feeling my shifter POP UP..and my reaction being "HOLY F&%%#$#^%&%^$%$%#$%$^$%$%$^$%$$# ARGHH STUPID #$#^%$%#$$#$#$#%#$# !!!!!!!!!!!!" AND MANY OTHER WORDS..now my shifter is very messed up it SHIFTS BARELY..i was told i might have snapped the bearing in it ..well since i was plannin on gettin rid of the shitbox soon enough so i could get a 4th gen hatch now thats some motivation!...
anyways so i pick up the want ad and i find a 91..i think it was a 91..well whatever..hatchback si 170k starts everytime good condition needs muffler ..$550.00 ....i have about $1100.00 to spend i left a message on the guys machine he sounds like an old guy so he obviously doesnt know the value of such a great car!..im hoping he calls back so i can go check it out..i really hope its in good condition cuz i want an si!!!!!!!!

oh well just thought ide post my incident..

heh, that sounds like a pretty good deal for that car, hopefully you can get it
are you sure it is your tranny, and not just your shift linkage, stabilizer bar or the bushings?

happened to me, ended up being bearings in the tranny. It will probably cost about 1k to fix, hella sucks, I thought it was the clutch, but the mechanic said if it were the clutch it would make noise when the clutch is IN rather than making it OUT like it does now.

eh..could be..it shifts thats all that matters to me i wanna junk it anyways lol ..that dude hasnt called yet which sucks im gonna call him again ...im just gonna drive this thing til it dies or until i get somethin better not worth puttin dough into...if i do get that civic and instead of puttin a regular muffler on if i have enough should i just get a performance catback exhaust? i want either skunk2 or dc sports..which would be the better choice? ..i wanna go for a skunk2 theme so im leanin towards that one

[Melt]

skunk2 and dcsports are both great products. I would lean dcsports simply because I think skunk2's shit is way overpriced.

[jedi]

Alright ill keep that in mind..they dont show the price for the exhaust for the 88-91s it just says TBA ..what the hell does that mean?

[Melt]

either means to be announced or it means call for price. I hate it when the companies do that:finger:

Melt, you're not really gonna spend a grand on your tranny, are you??? You can find used tranny's all day long (especially in Cali) for probably $250 or less.

i am getting a new one. It isnt the parts that are killing me but it is the labor.

a friend of mine just found a tranny for his DX for $200 CDN....thats like 2 bucks USD.
