I'm askin for a buddy, he has a d16z6 in a 92 civic and the shifter wont control the tranny. I'm assumign the shift linkage broke, what im wondering is what and how the tranny is connected to the shifter. Is it cables or direct linkage? Where is it most likely broken? He is outside tryign to check the linkage as we speak on the tranny.

 

 

Perfect, couldnt ask for a better answer thank you.

 

my guess...if the linkage didn't brake and fall free to the ground the the "bitch" pin might have fallen out...probably cause someone used a bolt instead of the pin...but thats my guess lots of other things could be wrong too

 

Bitch pin being item 28 on the diagram and named that because its a bitch to get out.

 

lol, yeah that pin is a pita

 

not a pita
a Bitch

 

yeah, but I doubt anyone here can remember who first called it a bitch pin, and it wasn't me!

Now if the shaft going into the tranny is moving, then there is a big problem.

 

thats all i have ever known it by, Bitch pin. been that way for years. ac compressor bracket bolts with the pointed heads work perfect for getting them out.

 

hmm ill have to try that we just pulled a motor a few days ago and i damn near just cut the ------- linkage cause of that damn pin..
