I did an 97ex swap into my wifes 98 honda civic hx.  
The engine starts and runs perfect, but the tranny isnt working properly.

Everytime i shift into **Drive** from **Neutral** , it knocks really hard (shifts rough)  
Same thing happens while driving, everytime it shifts, it shifts really hard/rough.

_DO you guys_ _t__hink motor mounts are bad? Does it have something to do with the axles? Bad tranny?_

damn i suck.

Yes, I have about 3q in there, and all the lines are hooked up.

I am getting a check engine light, but is for the sec. o2, which im about to wire right now, and a sensor for the tranny…hmmmmm

I wonder if that sensor is causing the problem,.

I replaced the driver, tranny lower mounts and bought the sensor for the tranny, and now the civic runs good…
