Reverse light harness

i concur, thats the reverse alright.

[fatal1]

i still gotta pick up the harness for mine or something that fits lol didnt even look around yet

[bronxbombr]

Do what me and Matt did. Just get some wire connectors and make your own.

[duh2150]

alright cool umm how would i hook them things up?

WELl u can try the sticky 8 gen tranny swap on the top of the forum

it has all the info

as for the reverse lights harness it can be unscrewed from the tranny,

next u take the 2 wires from which u made the short to start the car,

the 2 reverse wires are on that harness, cant remember the colors though

just take out a tailight a check the wires going to the reverse bulb

and voila

[duh2150]

ok how do i put the cv's back in? its a pain and they dotn wanna go in!

well if u have a 2.4 L the axles are good and will fit, 100 % sure for the 2002 , might be diff for the other years

if u have a v6 thats another story

[duh2150]

then why am i having a hard time? this is bs!

[GOOSEY2099]

[GOOSEY2099]

THen you should have no problem. Is this an 8g or 7g?

8g

everything is in my tutorial, if you try and they are not going in you are deffinatly doing something wrong here. Read it again and check the research at the bottom of the page. Axels are an easy thing and i don't understand why this is even an issue to discuss

Roman, go easy on this guy, its not like he's done a bunch of swaps like you and me. Its probable one of the first times he has even taken an axle out of a car. Dont forget your first swap, I wasn't getting mad at you when you were calling me 4 times a day for help.


They might not being going in easily if you bent up the locking clip on the end of the axle when you were fighting to get it out of the tranny. Make sure that clip is loose, you should be able to just barely touch it with your finger and it should move very freely and shouldnt bind up. Also put a little gear lube on the ends of the axle, it should help it slide in easier.

[duh2150]

thast the thing i put lube on the ends and everything im still having way to much trouble getting it in i donno its so weird the rings on the ends are loose i donno its odd i put it back into the old tranny witch easy like a push and it was in jsut not with the manual

[Stewi]

Make sure there isnt a bunch of crap clogged up in the tranny. The axles are inserted right into the gear splines on the differential, there is very little clearance, so any sort of debris would stop you from putting them in.

[duh2150]

i think im gonna like take a metal brush to it and see if i can do somthing i donno lol

[duh2150]

well the shaft end was swollen due to heat and warping do my dad fodn a way to fix it and it is going in father
