well i figured its time to start a worklog thread, if things work out should be able to do some interesting stuff in a bit.
alrighty, to start this off, my 96 was involved in a "i hit the brakes and it just slid into the car that pulled out in front of me" wreck (no, i was not driving it...and no, neither the 95 or 96 dx's i have, have ABS)
so i drove it around for a bit, than found the 95 on craigs list, runs but doesn't move... manual, no AC manual windows.... besides the non moving part sounds like my kinda car, so i go look at it, way better condidtion than my old one, couple dings behind the rear right door, thats really about it.
so thinking its the transmission i start tearing things out and the left axle just falls out with the tranny side still in the car... ok, well i lucked out, its just an axle... so i get a reman'd axle and throw it in. tons of clanging later i realize i was correct with my first hypothesis and it is the tranny, i'm guessing spiders or final drive gear as the tires are not connected really in any way.
so i picked up a tranny today, sorry no pics for right this sec, i get to excited to start working i forget to take pics, it had a slave cylinder and sensors on it, i guess they are from a 97 and i can already tell some of them look a little different but switching back to the originals should be no problem, pics in the morning
(the car isn't as dirty as it looks, it was just extremely dark and the camera didn't like it)
