^^^The axles? Unless you are swapped to a H22 motor, you cannot use them.

Randomly, as of last night, reverse is working again. A little "notchy" feeling going into and coming out of the gear, but it works flawlessly now. I went back and forth in my driveway a bunch of times last night with a big ol' smile on my face.

Looks like I have a spare trans just in case something happens in the future. :/

glad to hear that your problem fixed itself, those are the best kind of problems. hope you wont give up on this car if it comes back, you should at least have something to show for all the energy you put into this car.

I both love and hate it when things 'fix themselves'. On one hand, no work to be done! But there's always part of me going "WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG?!" hah.

Change your trans fluid and check for shavings!

^^Yessir! I plan on doing that soon. Trying to decide if I want to play with trying Amsoil Sychromesh, or if I should just continue to stick with Honda MTF.

My superbrightleds.com (or w.e the company is called) order arrived today! I would install and take pics for you guys, but the car is being dropped off at the shop tonight for inspection tomorrow. I can't imagine anything it would need safety-wise. Brakes/suspension/steering all look and feel fine. Emissions is exempt since I didn't drive more than 5k this year (thankfully)

Probably going to go with Honda MTF after doing a lot of reading on the subject. My car passed inspection! Questionable tie rod, but the shop is letting me slide. I plan on switching to a non-P/S rack soon, so I will replace all the tie rods when that happens.

Pics of the LED lights installed a little later tonight!

I got lazy last night. I took pics, but didn't feel like uploading.

Interior: Obvious on which is the old OEM bulb.

I am very happy with them! The trunk light flickered a few times, and then stopped working. I put that LED in the dome light and it did in fact work. There must be something a little screwy with the trunk dome light wiring or the base that accepts the bulb? I'll play with it some more this weekend. Not overly concerned with it to be honest.

Squeeze the terminals closer on the trunk light. I had the same problem.

What are all the part numbers for the bulbs? I want to do the same, no rear interior means opening my trunk lights up the whole car since the light will go past what would be seats lol.

Scott, this is exactly what I ordered. Copied from the receipt I had in my E-mail still.

Qty | Product / Options | Price/ea |
================================================== ==========
4 | 3022-xHP4: 4 High Power LED Festoon Bulb | $ 6.95 |
3022-CWHP4: Cool White
------------------------------------------------------------
2 | WLED-x4-x: 4 LED T10 Wedge Base Bulb | $ 2.59 |
WLED-W4-90: Cool White Wide

Obviously, the quantity of 4 are the interior/dome lights, and the 2 are the license plate bulbs.
