Found a CL 6 speed at the junkyard...
I was at a junkyard looking for a driver's side mirror for my Crv because someone hit it when I parked on the street (blessing in disguise), when I came across a CL and decided to pop the hood. Low and behold it had a 6 speed trans!! I get super excited and can't believe what I just found.
A J swap civic has been on my list of swaps I wanted to do but was towards the bottom of my list because of the $1000+ price for a Lsd trans. I also knew I should get one sooner than later because the price of transmissions would keep going up due to the rarity of them.
I had to leave it because I didn't have the right tools and didn't have time to drop it. I go to work later that night and have nightmares that someone will take it before I get there the next day. After off work I head back to the junkyard and wait for them to open. I nervously walk to where I saw the CL and had visions of seeing a stripped out car but luckily it's just as I had left it.
A few hours later, I'm proudly wheeling back the 6 speed trans, shifter cables, shifter box, ecu, half shaft and flywheel. I haven't slept in about 30 hours and was dealing with a little sickness but it was well worth it for this unicorn find.
Ill be heading back for the engine and harness some time this week.
