and before I ask, I just want to say I have googled this question and searched the forums but I have not found anything to do with my question which is:
Can I swap D16y7 transaxel gears in to the D17a2's transaxel? Both trannys are 5speeds and I'm asking because right now I'm not working and don't have any cash to buy a replacement for the D17 however I do have a y7 tranny laying around.
also my reason for wanting to switch the gearsets (keep in mind I have a brand new clutch set installed a week ago by myself.) is because the current transmission in my daily (an 05 EX coupe) is making some wicked noises 1st through 3rd, 4th and 5th are fine, and 3rd likes to popout of gear or just flatout refuses to engage at random. I've been driving the car like this for about 3/4 of year now and I can't take it any longer.
Because the D17's trans uses cables to shift, the D16y7 trans doesn't it uses the bars that go under the car. so it's not exactly a bolt in swap I would need to get custom shift bars made and cut a hole in the floor under the center console.
Believe me if I could just throw that trans in I would have and wouldn't be asking the question
Ok so I've decided after doing more research that I'm just gonna do it and see what happens, I'll post my progress and we'll find out if indeed a y7's gears will fit a D17's manual tranny; who knows maybe this will open up new possibilities for the ugly duckling, maybe I'll fail gloriously? Only one way to find out. Catch y'all later
yes well his second answer that stated he has tried it before is alot better than just saying "no it won't work" without a reason given as to why it is as such
To Chris and I, transmission work is easy for us, but had to explain the finer points that we just do, and we still don't know each others little "secrets" and such. I kinda envy him

Ahh ok, I have rebuilt a tranny before on a chevy cavalier but this is my first time diving into a honda tranny, before I spend the money on a rebuild kit could the detent springs cause the random disengaging issue? If so I'll check those first
The Synchrotech master rebuild kit is so cheap (money wise) it's silly not to get it. It will have everything you need minus a gear or shift fork. It includes all the bearings except for the diff, synchros, synchro springs, seals and sliders. The brass version is $350 shipped, the carbon version is $400 shipped. If it needs a gear ans fork add on another $300. The detent springs aren't causing the issue unless you removed them and screwed up the reinstallation of them. Individual parts from the rebuild kit can be ordered if you know exactly what you need which would save you a little money. When you're ready to order let me know.
so after taking some time to think about the options I have here I've decided I'm just gonna grab a tranny from the junk yard as I can get them for $300 guaranteed.
Guaranteed junkyard trans either means they have plenty on hand and don't care to exchange them, this also means they don't value your time to R&R them or your money to pay someone else to. Or they are hobbled together using parts from multiple transmissions, usually by someone that doesn't know what they're doing.
Transmissions go for $59 on half off day plus core. I wouldn't pay more than $75 for a d series trans if you couldn't find one cheaper.
