Well, we still have to cross our fingers for this. See, a shop was supposed to take care of it... but they dicked me over after I did work for them (search on CC for "Zeller" and it's the one result).
The tranny isn't in my car yet because we're goign to just have someone else put it in. Iit's too much of a hassle to do it here. The rebuild took us a couple of days so that when Eran got frusterated (he was doing the hard work becaues I'm too puny), we could just wait and cool off.
After putting it all back together though, everything spins correctly and smoothly. We continually tested how everything moved throughout the reassembly of the transmission, tested before putting it back together, and then tested once it was together too. Everything seems okay so far... so I just have to cross my fingers for now.
We had rebuild how-tos on H-T and the PDF manual for the '98 Civic. So our directions in the manual were for the 6th gen D-series transmissions... but the Z6 was pretty close. It was close enough at least for instruction.
Oh, and not bitching, just letting you know, I'm not a dude (see sig lol).
