    What are my options for fixing a transmission.

    I am having issues with my manual transmission again. Now, the cheapest solution I know is to get another one from the junkyard and swap it out over the weekend. I can find one for $400 easy, and if I am lucky I can get one for as low as $250. The thing is, I did this once before and it...

    Will I get a check engine light if my engine has detonation?

    So I am hearing something that could just be a rattle, or it could the detonation. THe suspicious noise is only under load at low RPM so it could just be vibrations. Also this is the first time I fueled the H22 with the low octane gas since I got the engine. I will fill up with premium next time.

    Will I get a check engine light if my engine has detonation?

    Okay, the knock sensor is there to detect detonation, but will it throw a code? My car has an OBDI H22 engine with a chipped ecu. Would the OBDI ecu detect detonation and throw a code, or do I need to be running OBDII?

    Help. Can't engage reverse gear.

    I fixed it, but I am not sure exactly how I did it. I took apart the shift linkage. (I't pretty easy, 4 bolts and the cover comes off along with the top lever.) But I did not see anything visually wrong with the mechanism. So I took off the part that chooses which gear shaft to move, and...

    Help. Can't engage reverse gear.

    Yeah. I tried that. No playing with the clutch, revs and gears helps. I think I will need to take apat the shift linkage and check it out. Anyone know if good instructions for that exist?

    Help. Can't engage reverse gear.

    I will check when I get home. Wouldn't it mess up the other gears too?

    Help. Can't engage reverse gear.

    No grinding. So I guess locked out.

    Help. Can't engage reverse gear.

    Hey everyone. So my transmission decided to act up on me. I drove to a movie theater yesterday, parked the car. When I came out to drive home, I could not engage reverse gear. I now have to push the car out of the parking space each time I park. This is a 5-speed manual transmission we are...

    HELP! Cant get lower ball joint off to replace my axle!!

    I had a few really stubborn ball joints and for those, only the fork tool worked. But I believe the consensus is that if you use that fork tool, you throw away the ball joint.

    Yes. But it could stall too.

    That's clever, but sounds scary as hell.

    Friend seeks help, Civic stalling.

    I guess I will say it again and suggest you check all the vacuum connections. You might be having a vacuum leak because the guys servicing the car forgot to plug some line back in, or knocked off a vacuum plug or something. This has happened to me before with the shop tuning my car leaving a...

    Friend seeks help, Civic stalling.

    Throttle getting stiff? I don't get how that would happen. The pedal is just connected to a butterfly valve. There is no mechanism for it to get stiffer. I had a problem with idling when I connected my gas tank vent tube incorrectly. Basically after a fill-up the engine would get too much...

    repairing a big-*** hole in my leather seat (pic)

    Not really. I am just willing to drive 100 miles out if they have the part I want. Also car-part.com is amazing, makes searching for parts a lot easier.

    repairing a big-*** hole in my leather seat (pic)

    You could try the leather repair kit you get from a car store, but it is hard to make it look good for something that big. Seat covers are another option. Depending on how handy you are with a needle you can try and patch it. Or. Just go to a junkyard. You can pick up an RSX seat for...
