    Steering Issue

    I was driving about 30 mph when i hit a 8 inch tall boulder on the road. It took away the plastic splash guard in the driver side front wheel well, bent the rim, and the tire. I drove the civic home and the steering had a wandering zero. I had to constantly adjust the wheel to say straight on...

    When the my civic starts up there is a tapping noise coming from the valve cover area. After about one minute it goes away as the motor gets warmer. I heard this is normal for high mileage civics and I shouldn't worry about it but i would like to get another opinion. Also The tapping noise...

    On my civic the exhaust pipe from after the cat/exhaust manifold to the rest of the exhaust has rusted away.

    Which engine oil is the best for my civic?

    10w30 is what i would recommend. Old civics like it thicker. For what brand you should buy. I recommend any regular motor oil brand long as it isn't Pennzoil.

    5th gen manual tranny to 6th gen

    I'm prolly going to pick up a 5th/6th gen tranny and rebuild it. How much do they cost? I'm seeing on criaglist about $150 for 5th gens and $250 for 6th gens. Sounds pricey for a used transmission.

    5th gen manual tranny to 6th gen

    I am trying to go as cheap and quick as possible. I am trying to do this method for a fix just to get the car back on the road for another 10,000 miles. I don't think the current tranny's ISB will last another 1000 miles.

    5th gen manual tranny to 6th gen

    I got a bad input shaft bearing. I don't want to rebuild the transmission because I don't have a high enough skill level for that. I was wondering if I could take the gearbox side from 5th gen and plug and play it into the clutch side of a 6th gen tranny?

    Air Conditioning belt

    I have an AC belt that screams. The ac doesn't work because of a freon leak. I was wondering if I could just cut the belt, but I just want to double check with yall that the ac belt doesn't power anything else.
