as for the seals leaking, are the shaft sealing surfaces messed up?, did you pound in the seal and warp it or pound it in too far? Too much slop in the shafts (wiggle them up and down

well i fixed the problem i guess my inside nuckle cups were different from the ones off the civic i got the 5speed out of. driving back to houston,tx my civic blew the motor it completely crushed the #4 connecting rod. but i have another question. how do i get the cruise control to work again? i read about it in this forum but i cant get it to come on and it worked fine before the swap and i followed the directions on the wiring.

anyone know if a canadian civic that is in Kilometers.... is still fine for the full swap? im looking at buying a wrecked 96civic if i can get it around 800bucks that is... im curious if the computer is still the same and just different speedometers and thats it?

the car looks repairable BUT im hoping it goes cheap so i can get the manual parts and everything to do a perfect manual swap. I HOPE i can get the car!!!!!!!

trying not to get my hopes up to much but if its all good then id love to have it to do the manual swap!

i would think so, since you can put a canadian cluster in an american civic and have it still read correctly, i would assume it would be the same way for the transmissions.

Would swapping the transmission be harder or easier if I swapped the engine to a B18 on my stock 95' Civic?

how about a automatic into a manual civic is the automatic harness totaly different on the car? or what? i hope i can repair this 96civic and simply swap all the parts i need and then have 2 good civics

why waste the potential for the manual i want so bad.... and the stock automatic low profile cruiser. [8D]
