ok thanks i got lucky im going to pick a s20 for 50 dollars tonight

all the s20 means it came out of a 92-95 Civic.
The casting code on the side of the transmission will have a B000 if its an EX/Si Tranny, If its a DX/LX or CX/VX it will have a A000.

Make sure you can spin the transmission with the input shaft and use a screw driver and you should be able to shift through the gears quite easily with the shift rod. If you cant do this that means the transmission is probally bad, and/or put together incorrectly.

- Wed Aug 12, 2009 3:06 am #137386 well i just have a few last things to put on and i painted my valve cover ill take some pics tomorrow i must say ive never worked on a trans before but the whole thing was very easy with a little help from my uncle who does it everyday so if you have common sense and work on your car often you can do it

- Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:07 pm #138845 got it back in and it will only go into first and second gear idk what could be wrong

- Wed Aug 19, 2009 8:58 pm #138863 You didn't line the shift forks up correctly when you put the clusters back in. Its not the easiest thing to do.

As much as its going to suck, You will have to take your transmission back out and fix whats wrong.

REINSTALL GEAR CLUSTER

1) Put Main and Countershaft back together on the shift arms.
2) Place the Shifter arms so that 5,R and 3,4 are in Neutral then Have 1,2 set for 1 (so it would be at its lowest point) It should look like "First Gear Engaged in the Picture above.
3) Place the shifter knuckle into First Gear(i.e. Farthest Right position, pointing up.)
4) Push the clusters down into place and everything should line itself up.
5) If it went in correctly, your lowering shifting ball/mechanism is the gear shifter line. If not take off the cluster assembly and redo it until it is. Once Done Then Proceed to #6)
