I just recently replaced my transmission which was slowly dying after 180k miles. I have a CRX Si 1991(1.6L d16a6). The tranny that i put in was from a '90 civic ex. it was bolt on without any major problems. I put a new oem clutch in and had it running fine and all for about a week. Now I am noticing a few things.
1) In the last 2 days, i've lost a lot of power. Most noticable in 1/2/3 gear. It just doesn't have its jump that it use to.
2) There is oil burning. I will have blue smoke once in a while coming out the tail pipe. I've drove it for over a week without any oil lost it has stayed at the same level, but Friday night took it for a longer drive ( drove for about 3 hours constantly) and then this morning I needed to add a quart of oil to it.
- We did a compression test on the engine after the new tranny was on before we took it out of the shop and it was 145psi, 145psi, 145psi, 150psi across the cylinders.
3) I am having a knock from my cv joint. When I had my axles out, i noticed that my boot was torn. instead of replacing it at that time i just decided to put it back on because 1) i was flat broke. 2) they couldn't order the outer-cv-rubber-boot and that i'd need to buy the axle.
So my question is...what can my power lost be caused from? Maybe the bad axle? Some people have been saying it is my rings. In which case i'll feel like shootin myself.
Any suggestions/help would be great
thanks
