How to test a MT that's not hooked up
 

Hey guys,

I've got a '97 DX Coupe and am running into a few tranny problems. My ISB is starting to go and my second gear is kind of rough. I found a local who's selling a 5-speed tranny from a '96 Civic for just $100(no clutch), and I think I'm gonna go take a look at it sometime soon.
1st question: Will this transmission be compatible in my '97?
2nd question: How could I "test" the transmission manually while it's not in the car, just move the linkage by hand?

Any techniques or help is very much appreciated. Thanks guys! :rofl:

nothing you can really check other then grabbing the inputting shaft and making sure there is no play other then that its the great unknown. and yes and D series tranny will fit any D series Motor
