Freeplay in the transmission shifter

vinuneuro · #1 07-12-2005, 02:53 PM

I need help with this. Iv been noticing more and more freeplay in my Prelude's manual tranny shifter. Im almost positive that there is slack in the cables/linkage. Is there anyway to tighten this up?

Disregard the red arrows...

Thanks

Seriously right? Its such a a pain to not only remove the oil filter when i have to change it, but then, re-install a new oil filter that is partially filled with oil.

For those of you who haven't had the fun of doing an oil change on the slightly older (90-97) Honda motors, the oil filter is basically located in the middle of the back of the block. Remember that these are I4 engines, mounted opposite of how I6 are in the BMWs.

Remember that the older Honda engines, esp theNSX, pioneered a lot of new automotive technology:

-Variable Valve Timing
-Variable Length Intake Manifold
-FRM cylinder sleeves: Fiber Reinforced Material= allowed much thinner sleeves allowing less space between cylinders= smaller block= less weight, etc
-First all aluinum body/frame in a production vehicle

In terms of Preludes, its not uncommon to see h22's making 400+w hp, 350w lbstq. Honda cylinder heads flow unbelievably, very efficient.

Remember that the NSX debut'ed in 91 and the Prelude with the h22 in 92(93 in US). Stock Prelude puts out 200hp,160lbs. Not bad for a NA 4cyl made in 92 huh?
