    Well, I'm not going to just keep ripping trannies out, it hurts my feelings. I'm not sure exactly why it's hung in second, since I was using granny gear at the time. I fear that I inadvertently grabbed the shifter.

    No, I forgot it at home.

    It went something like this:

    Phillip: "Take me for a ride in that thang."
    me: "OK! Do you have any terraces we can play on?"
    Phillip: "Well, there's that bank there below the driveway, but You can't go up that in this little ol' car!"
    me: "Hang on!"

    After reading this, this deserves another episode from the Adventures of Bam. Just pissed I wasnt the one riding during this episode! HA!

    Hows Goldie doing Bam..???
    did the Transmission come out of 2nd gear or did you have to replace it all together..?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I haven't gotten to it yet. I replaced the failing rear wheel bearing on cnote, took the rear diff out of the Suburban. Next is intake manifold on mother-in-law's Buick. Then power windows on nephew's Maxima.

    And I have to swap the B20 into cnote before February's Keys trip...

    Tranny was prolly just a fluke. I gernaded an RT tranny on snow while ripping on it grabbing gears but yet the 100+ boost launches I did never fazed it....

    One step closer... put the front brakes and turned rotors back on tonight.

    Goldie is what I want to be working on, so it'll happen soon. Talked to Pat tonight about new bumper concept.

    Do you think you'll incorporate that CJ7 bumper I gave you somehow?

    Well, I finally got opportunity and motive together

    was talking to a local Honda guru, he says he remembers someone using a '88 or so Accord clutch disc to mate the small-spline '88 tranny to the larger 212mm clutch and flywheel of a '90-up d-series. Anybody know about that?

    got her scattered about, will wait 'til after the first to ask my clutch guy. He's closed for the holidays.

    Looks like a great find Bam ... Might have to get my paws on a light fly wheel to go with this ..!

    I wouldn't recommend a light flywheel with the lift and bigger tires to pull. especially if you plan any offroad crawling.
  • So using the accord disc do you still use the civic clutch cover? and a flywheel from a 90-91 d16? what would the benefit to using this setup?

    The benefit is that you can use the larger 212mm clutch with the smaller-spline '88 transmission. ('88 disc was only 190mm).
    In my case, I already bought a performance clutch set to use with a '91 model transmission. I broke that tranny, and have 3 spares that are all '88s. By using the Accord disc, I can buy only the disc and still use my existing flywheel and cover..

    just plain ol' "bigger is better!"
  • ok I got ya now, my mind still in last year! lol may hafta do that with digger with all the towin I do with him!

    It is amazing what me and cbe get to talking about when we both get in the same room.

    Now if we could harness our power to get our projects done, we would be rocking and rolling.
