hey sup guys i got the 5 spd tranny in the civic now it took me and ohbiskits alot of work and stress but we got it in last night it took us about 4 hours cause of delays in the way. but we got the last part of the tranny and had to stop maybe you guys can help us. we got everything done except the axles. my driver axle is bad but should be able to go in with the hub and crap but it doesnt. it stops like half way through the hub help me please.

 

if it fit before then just beat it in......

 

Mallot that motha in! I saw it on HighRev Tuner.

 

hit on the outside of the hub where the nut goes with a hammer while putting pressure on it to go in. if you have a rubber mallet, thats best, but a normal hammer will work too, just try to hit on the solid parts, not anything thin.

 

Put the axle nut on backwards, but only far enough that it covers the threads on the end of the axle, then line it up and wail on it. MAKE SURE the threads and the very end of the axle are covered though.

 

no, he said it wont go through the hub, not that it wont go into the tranny.

 

yea the entire thing is done...just the damn drivers side axel...we worked till 4 in the am and then i about had time for a shower, an hour of sleep and another shower...and still went to school DEAD and DIRTY..

the axel is the only thing holding it back.

 

that shower is both the best thing ever, and one of the worst. its so nice to be done for the night, its such a relief. and its nice to finally get some of that grease and dirt off so you can see the cuts on your hands. but then again, you just want to crash into bed, but you know you just cant do it without showering first. plus, you cant get ALL the grease off no matter what.

 

hell yea...me..my hands dont ever come clean anymore..its like they are permanitly stained...i hear it all day at school...eww thats gross ur dirty...im like ye yea whatever...lol

 

yknow what i figured out works pretty good? those luffa things chicks use for their bodywash. i used to use my old roomates just to spite her (we had that kind of friendship.) and it really scrubs the grease out of the lines on your hands. and its not good for your skin, but simple green will get most of the really stubborn stuff off. but use lotion or something right after, it dries out your hands REALLY bad.
