hey i was wondering i have a 94 dx and i'm trying to put in a Si trans what do i need to do to get it in? i'm seeming to have trouble with the center shaft going in.

Getting the shaft in the pilot bearing is the hardest part. The trans is so heavy/bulky, having a second person to help hold it to get the angle right is a huge help.

you need patience. it can be a PITA.

hopefully you have a hydro si trans and not a cable

Yup its a massive pain. It took me 4 days to get it aligned by myself. I ended up getting really drunk and literally kicked the trans until it went it

lolz I usually am drinking when I tinker on the ol beast, but kicking.. I guess if it worked then kudos...but don't break nothing

my trans went in super smooth.

word of advice, ontop of what teal said:

- have someone underneath to push on the small side of the housing
- have someone hold the housing by the flywheel
- have someone else just incase you need to readjust your grip


i had 3 friends over at the time.

one to hand bolts, 2 to help, and myself. easiest install ever.

Yea its always a good idea to use a shop crane or a second person, don’t ever put your self in a dangerous situation such as baring the load of heavy objects while working above your self. Thats just asking for bad things.
