5 speed swap

[moth]

just finished it and there are complications..
my shifter in neutral is alll the way by the center console, theres a thump i hear and feel, any one know?

Youre kidding right? You want us to diagnose your car with THAT as the only information to go by?

More info please?

[moth]

i wasnt looking for a diagnosis, i was thinking that its something i did during the swap that people might have also done so i was looking for some insight like maybe its the drive shaft hitting something. well when i put it in gear and start to drive it sounds like a thump in the rear, and i can feel it aswell.before the 5 speed swap hapned, my automatic transmission messed up bad and i couldnt reverse anymore, so i dont know if that has a hand in what im feeling now. as for the shifter, its location is all the way to the front by the console where the stereo goes when i have it in neutral.. i dont know why?

[slammed04tsx]

differental bushings may be the thump

[moth]

oh alright any reason why though?

Its a 30 year old car.........

[moth]

haha good point. oh just to add to the info. when i reverse sometimes it makes a clunk. you guys think its the diff thats going out

[bussitcustoms]

Did you install the shifter correctly? If you put it in backwards, it will sit mad forward.

Edit: Nevermind

[moth]

thanks you sir i did have the shifter backwards, :| i feel dumb haha

[bussitcustoms]

lol no worries bro. BEEN THERE. haha

[moth]

haha, yea dude. what about the thump:\ any clue what it MIGHT be?

[bussitcustoms]

Id guess either beat axles or a blown diff.

I guess it could also be bad diff bushings or subframe bushings, but for some reason im thinking your axles or diff are beat. Id start by checking the axles for play in the joints, and looking for blown boots. After that id see how freely the diff turns with both wheels in the air.

ill check them early in the morning then, hey thanks man youre a big help:D

[bussitcustoms]

no problemo.

tip for the future: give as much information as possible. :bigok:
