Chris' other intrac. (lots of pics). Sold :(
rti intrac
Senior Wagonist
Thought i'd give my other intrac a bit of love.
I purchased it with a stuffed auto box. Swapped in the 2wd auto out of my parts car, that was stuffed too.
I gave up on it for a while when I got the crx.
Now the crx is gone I have more time/effort to spend on it. Last week I picked up a l3 gearbox.
This weekend I pulled the auto pedalbox out and got the stuffed auto gearbox out.
Rangi repaired pedal box
I removed the pedal box. (how to thread: http://www.hondacivicwagon.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14032)
Swapped the pedals across
Hmm thats not going to work to well.
Sorted. Safety first
A quick trim of the rubber boot and bobs your fathers brother
.
Next I pulled out a ecu of some description. (pretty sure its for the transmission as it had a Led with a viewing hole in it.
There was a stud that would of fowled the pedal assembly. I tried bashing it with a hammer
It didn't work.
Out with my friend MR angle grinder.
that worked a little better. Needed two runs to get it short enough.
I then bashed the left over stub and it fell off.
Rangi I know but it did the trick. At this point I noticed the lack of clutch cable hole.
on the outside there is markings where to drill/cut a hole for it so sweet.
So much rubbish to remove (and compared to the manual one) in-order to drill the hole.
I didn't have a hole saw handy so I moved onto removing the auto trans.
Last weekend I removed the hub assembily and pulled the driveshaft out.
Next I removed the front cross member, and front mount. I also got the radiator out of the way.
Pulled the battery tray and starter off
Undid the rear stabiliser mount. Removed all the bolts holding the trans to the block. put the jact under the trans and unbolted the last mount. lowered the trans and got this far
The mount was in the way and the left hand driveshaft wasn't all the way out.
Removed the mount and with a little bit of brute force and a bit of prying the trans came out.
The fluid is a nasty colour isnt it? It was fresh when I put the trans in the car.
Just need to pick up the clutch this week and hopefully pick up the shift linkages.
Got a spare flywheel that should do the trick
couple of pics of the beastie
The paint is well rooted and he front right guard has a massive dent in it. The alternator bearing is stuffed and makes a evil noise. Piece of piss to change but I'll leave it untill it dies. I love driving POS looking and sounding car in traffic everybody stays away from you.

The list of parts I need to get is getting smaller. Just waiting on flywheel bolts and shift linkages. I forgot about the pressure plate bolts but should have something that'll fit. Hopefully the people will get back to me otherwise I'll have to pull them off a car at pick a part

Ps, loving the build!! im about to do an auto to manual swap on my wagon too.
do you know how the pedal assembly differs from a CRX or Civic ? they look nearly identical.
AFAIK the wagon/shuttle pedal boxes are differnt to the civic/crx.
Tonight despite the lack of tools at home I got the auto shifter and torque convertor/flexplate off. I made a attempt to cut the hole for the clutch cable but the hole-saw drill bit was blunt as. I'll borrow some drill bits from work and drill a pilot hole.
Didn't get any pictures. Tomorrow I'll bring the flywheel and match up the bearing/bushing.
Okay not to be funny or anything but are you sure you are putting it in on right side of flywheel, I had a friend who complained for a week about bearing not fitting his flywheel the hole was too small I go over and in 5 mins put it in turns out he was trying to put it in on wrong side.
have you located your mounts for your swap
Its dark outside already so it should be fun
I need to find where I put the left hand drive shaft and locate a bonnet hinge and it'll be drivable. Oh and fill the gearbox with fluid. I'm flying down to Christchurch for a friends 21st so wont get anything done this weekend unfortunately. Bring on next week!
I've got a spare cap at home so will stick that on. just need to swap the bonett hinges over and i'll look like a car again
Now for the pictures
Flywheel on
Clutch on
I have alot of respect for you guys wit hno garages because working outsude in the cold sucks big time.
Replacement guard/facelift bumper/slamage
Today I took the rear trailing arms off with the help of my mate Tim. Tomorrow I'll get them replaced.
I am amazed it acutally ran at all! All it did before it died was missfire a little bit at low revs.
I may have done A write up, the problem I found was that the rear shocks were different widthes to front ones. DA rear perches fitted onto shuttle shocks though. But TBH, may as well get some circlip adjustable shocks and get a grove machined quite low, much less pissing round!
Much more $$$$ too. I have konis in the silver shuttle which I'll get a few more grooved machined into. This one will (eventually) replace the ute as my daily
