 i think #1 is the neutral switch and #2 is the O.D. sensor. I dont need these right. and if so how can i plug them up. so i dont have to waste money on gettin the sensors and not using them

Drop the tranny crossmember and put a jack under it so you don't tear your motor mounts and smash the firewall, then you should have enough room to get an extension and a flex joint up the tranny tunnel to pull that last bolt out. I tried a bit to get it behind the egr pipe with no luck, then a friend that was helping me showed me the trick of dropping the mount.
Also, the best way to get the tranny back on is by sticking a block of wood under the crank and jacking the front of the engine up then sliding the transmission right onto the engine. None of this get it started then rotate it up bull****, just get a friend to help line it up and giv'r ****.
I got my whole swap done in a day with 2-4 guys helping me at different times, and we took lots of beer breaks and dicked around quite a bit. Get your swap done!

Wow that is a real clever idea and it sounds a lot easier to get up that way also, i am just going to buy a ball joint swivel and work my way from the top it should be a lot easier if not i am going to blow the MOFO UP

haha thanks man, yeah i was thinking about painting my engine bay while the engine is out, but i don't have enough money so i guess i'll do that down the road.. i took my head to the machine shop to get re-ground, and i guess there was a **** load of stuff wrong with it so it went from costing $100 to $270! ahh yeah pull that sr and paint that ****!, how did you like that rb? | Quote, originally posted by darens13 » | | well buddy you inspired me. i went to grants pass and bought a 5 speed trans and i got a ka24e(that i dont need) so now i just need to get some more parts and hopefully i can swap in my new trans soon! |

ya i dont really have much experience but luckily i have nico and my friend kevin is pretty car savvy so it should go ok. i just cant wait to be able to shift my car instead of having the stupid auto do it for me. and i read i can pick up a couple of mpg's with the 5 sp.

Yea the 5 spd swap really isnt that hard if you have some help getting out the Auto tranny and putting the Manual one in. I did mine in one full day ok well maybe 1 1/2 2 days

hahahaha lucky that i just went through the same problem. You can tryand get a bolt that would fit. Im guessing m14 x 1.5 but thats just a guess maybe its m12.
Or you can use universal drain plugs. You can purchase them from autozone, pepboys, basically anywhere. When you put it in you have to twist it for the rubber to expand. But b4 you do make sure that you can still shift easily (you dont want it in to far or you will risk breaking sumtin ie tranny. So once you make sure nothing is hitting wen you shift your good to go.
I just did that in my car. And i've been driving it for a week now and not a single leak.Good luck

Sensors should be there, but someone removed them. Those holes are threaded, right? I'd go to hardware store, find the bolts that fit there, cut with Dremel, apply some liquid gasket and install. That'll do the trick.

haha yea now you know wut "jump" is
lolanyway the automatic drain plug will not work. Or at least im pretty sure. The universal drain plug for the engine oil is good to use. The rubber expands and creates a seal

Nice to see you're still working on yours too. Any thought given to adding the safety cutout switch to the clutch pedal and wiring it in line with that "JUMP"? You can resurrect the need to press the clutch on start. I think thats how I'm going to do mine.Hey does that green box exist in the 96 s14? I dont recall seeing one.
