This is one of the absolute best Honda tutorials i have ever seen. Video photography is superb- full brightness and clarity; sound is clear and crisp- no annoying sound track covering up the clear and precise instructions. Only suggestion is not to use the Phillips head screwdriver which tends to expand the roll pin. You may have a pin which is easy to drive out but in my experience the bitch pin earned its name because it doesn't just tap out, and you don't want to beat on the linkage etc. Best way is to use a C clamp and 12mm bolt pressing the pin into a socket into which the pin is pressed. Other than that your video is superb. I recently rebuilt the D series 5 speed, which went well, but I also replaced the clutch twice since first one was defective. Now something went bad in that area and i think it is the pilot bearing or throwout bearing. Thanks for your beautiful tutorial!
thank you for that tip for the bitch pin! been struggling with it for too long, about to break out the clamp!
How did you know I’m about to drop my trans soon 😂 nice refresher man
Ha good timing I guess 🤷🏻♂️😁
wish me luck boys
Did it work
Good luck! hope all worked out 💪🏻
We need a update bro
Great success. Very nice

Ladies and gents never use impact gun to tighten without knowing the threads are in properly
Hey man, If you read this, just wanna let you know that you have helped me a lot. Thanks! I’ve always loved working on cars but never had anyone to teach me advanced stuff lol but I did learn some good stuff from my pops too but it was always was like 4 or less tools lol
Today I just put on coilovers for my first time and it was so much fun! Next is turning the auto into manual! Thanks again!
That’s awesome and I hope you keep learning more!! It all starts somewhere!
Will save me $1k if I ever get the tools for it. Man those labor costs.
Seen a really neat transmission jack at harbor freight for around 100
All your hard working paid off and gives me advice,good lecture and just plain out good explanation I wish I could’ve found your TH-cam
James. Thank you so much for this one. Hope it helps many people, which is more views for you.
Yes indeed! I really hope it helps people regardless of the views but I wouldn’t mind for more views haha
I found your channel over quarantine and was just amazed with the content. You sir are my favourite TH-camd. Can’t wait to buy my d16 civic and turbo it on a budget.
My 7 year old and I are removing the transmission on our 2000 Civic. It's a bit more rustier than your Texas vehicle.
Lots of good info, thank you for the step by step as you went on removing the transmission, getting ready to install a B16 trans on my 91 hatch. Too bad you live in Texas, I could have use a helping hand from you.
I have a 2001 Civic coupe and these transmissions are know for taking a crap granted mine has 240k but in its defense it was still driving daily just no fifth gear before I changed it! New clutch flywheel and it drives like a new car again! This is why I love Honda’s easy to work on and fun to play with!
Was it your first time? My fifth gear is also gone and I don’t have the money for a transmission shop and thinking of giving it a try.
it just looks different when its so clean
was just looking at a 02 Civic on FB marketplace that's in need of a new trans. great video and thank you!
Cant even get my transmission bsck on
Excellent detailed step by step.

Do you have to drain the fluid?
Yea cause either way wen u take axle out it’ll leak fluid.
If you have caps no, if you dont care about making a mess then no. I personally havent drained it and just try to keep it as level as possible
Gotta wait to put my no-skweek order in, memorial day sale is currently on.
Best spray i have ever used to be 100% honest. It don’t smell foul like most do either. I use it on my doors and cabinets in the house and my door hinges. Good stuff!
When you rebuild the transmission can you do a video on it please I have a D16y8 5 speed Manuel 1998 Honda Civic ex and I’m having same issue with 3rd gear and I had transmission rebuilt fully because I had same issue as you with 3rd 4th and 5 and now it’s only 3 rd gear while driving freeway and long story short would love to learn how to rebuild my transmission myself because it was 3800 just on labor last time I had it fixed and wanna save me money but learn too.im a gear wrench guy and learning as I go.thansk for content bro.
I’ll do my best to record it. I’m no pro at them and don’t wanna give incorrect information but I’ll do my best when that time comes.
Texas Honda Channel appreciate that bro and your channel is dope by the way and always learning new ways and stuff to do so keep up the great work bro and I understand where you are coming from on the transmission and all that but do know you have the knowledge from the most part and I’m sure I can learn a thing or to and end up practicing and get it down so I fully understand what I’m doing.ill keep an eye out if you end up doing a video and if not I’ll keep watching to learn other stuff or refresh what I already know and always appreciate your tips on to do things because every lil thing helps and thanks for both your channels u support you for what you do for me on your channels brother and keep it up bro
Do you know if I can do it like this for a manual 04 ex coupe or am I gonna have to drop the sub frame? Thanks for sharing this helpful video brother God bless
Gonna try my hand at this on Saturday!
What does that metal plate for that you don’t have that’s between the trans and engine
It's just a guard plate so that stuff doesnt go in there some ppl forget to put it on before putting the oil pan so they just leave it out its not bad either
I’m doing this, and 11:43 is where I’m having trouble, this bolt won’t come out so I’m thinking I take the T bracket with me and unbolt it from the transmission when I get it out from the car
Nick Sabella also has a great removal tutorial that might help you out: th-cam.com/video/qTMx4vtbBdQ/w-d-xo.html
Crushing dowls with that impact lol don't tighten anything until it's fully mated
Been doing this for 16yrs like this with no issues but I get what your saying lol
That’s y most blocks have those bolt holes stripped cause of ppl like this unfortunately
He’s right you can crack the housing learn from others mistakes
It's a REALLY common issue in the s2000 community. The transmission is difficult to fit in the tunnel and onto the block so people use the threads to close the gap, but the dowels aren't in yet and get crushed.
Hi my friend. that braket that you mention on the video is call out stiffener my question is do we really need that bracket im having problem with that braket right niw i intall an aftermarket header and is hiting with the rear bolt of that braket. Im thinking to removed it and just use the flywheel dust cover. Thanks and nice video.
Thanks your videos are damn detailed , many situations answered
I try to answer questions I had when I started and no one had the answers.
Texas Honda Channel good point of view 👍👍
Just picked up a 97 with blown trans, get to swap out tomorrow. Second time doing one of these needed a refresher haha
How much did you get it for? That'll be fun though. My trans just broke last week on my 96 after having it for about 9 days
@@FumetsuNoAnataE imo I paid too much, 1400, lol I had picked up a 94 del sol years ago with blown trans for $200
@@worldtutorials4043 the thought of getting a del sol in any condition for $200 is mind boggling now lol
@@CaptainJdotJdot fr i saw a shell for like 2k lol
I know this doesn’t involve this particular video but I needed to ask if I have a h22 in my civic I am trying to find the turbo piping the one you put on your video will those piping work or do I need to order different ones?
Since i put that video out the seller stopped selling that kit on amazon for some reason. It should be the same kit though since it’s in a civic.
Texas Honda Channel thanks I pressed on the link and it sent me to another one that’s available tho same one you think?
Very good video
Great video thanks. I would like to change my automation transmission to manual, but I'm not sure if I run into bracket or bolt issues? Will they fit if same year model, or is there some ? Mine is 2008 model though..
The same basic concept applies but without doubt research I wouldn’t know exactly what would be needed. A lot of what I learned was from trial and error
Hello! How much time takes to get out the transmission?
#StepsLikeDGuy
I sure do miss these comments!
🎉
I canNOT get the transmission loose at all! I wish I could find a diagram showing all the bold locations. I think I may have missed one somewhere. I've watched 8 times!
1 month too late but it’s probably the dust cover lol
There is one below the intake manifold. It's another mount from the engine to trans. Kind of hidden. Looks like a structural mount
@@vadski3469 All good. I've been driving it for 7-1/2 months and just turned over 369,000 M!
@@macmaccourt hell yeah man
is it the same with 1998 integra
Integra has a B-Series
what transmission are you using? is it S40?
Good vídeo Bro. I ran 12.5 on my daily driver D16 vídeo at Taller JDM Costa Rica TH-cam
Do you have to remove the fly wheel shield in order to remove your transmission ? I have a 95 Honda Civic EX and I’ve seen videos saying you do and you don’t. I just need an experts opinion
Yes
I’m so dumb I left it in gear and separated transmission from the engine a couple inches.
what? why is that a problem?
Got it thank you man🙏
Thanks for the video approximately how much does the transmission weigh?
late reply but I've been reading 76 pounds for the B000 tranny, expect 80-90 pounds total shipping weight if you're having one delivered
I can attest to the 70 something pounds for the B000 trans. I picked mine up from the basement and brought it upstairs without too much struggle. That was without fluid
Do you need a wheel alignment after this?
what barnd stage 4 clutch you running???
XTR it’s a cheap one but man it works good. Had it on my 30psi turbo setup and it did good on that but after a lot of back to back pulls it got hott so had to let it cool between pulls but other than that it does great!
@@TexasHondaChannel cool i was just checking to see if it could hold at least 20 psi, so its good to know you ran it on 30, really don't have the cash to dish out on a ACT, or CC clutch right now lol thanks for the info
majorkin19 yea ran 30psi and held great. When I made 313whp I was at 22psi with this laggy turbo but the clutch didn’t have a single issue then either. Cheap XTR 8lb flywheel and clutch
1st to comment
😎👌🏻
Literally removed half the car to do nothing 🤣
Listen to the guy. Do not even attempt this with the linkage on. Trust me. Please
i put the trans in with the linkage on
Great video!
I got a 98 civic that needs a transmission replacement, I have never done this but I want to do it as a hobby, should I replace the clutch as well, thoughts anyone? And thanks an advance for your help.
Yes, unless the clutch is new it is always recommended to get a new clutch which should also come with a throw out bearing, and take your flywheel to your local machine shop and have them resurface it. Is usually pretty cheap
i was with you until 17:22 when you just poked the trans bolt thru the housing into the hole with the impact and sent it 😱😱
i thought that too but i need a new clutch and homies build is fuckin sick
You made this so concise and straightforward. Mentioning the bolt sizes and required tools was a huge help too. Not to mention the great camera quality not typically seen on DIY TH-cam videos.
Do you have any recommendations for pulling your first transmission to replace a throwout bearing? Also is the throw out bearing on the trans side or engine side? Can't seem to find a how to video.. also would i have to go this far into it just to do the throwout bearing?
Throw out bearing is on the trans side. Transmission definitely has to come out to replace the bearing since it is sandwiched between the clutch release fork and the pressure plate. I just manual swapped my civic today, and its all fresh in my mind haha
Hows the rustoleum epoxy holding up on the floor? Im considering the rock solid kit but still not sure if its worth it over this one
It’s holding up okay but since I didn’t get a proper floor sander it can only do so good because the previous paint has caused issues already but it’s not a big deal really
Just came here to say this is one of the best videos about removing a d series transmission I’ve seen to date. Thank you for this!
alright boys about to attempt to switch mine out
How did it go?
I’m stuck tryna put my transmission back
nice vid. My shifter linkage pin was jammed and non removable while in the car, so I had to unbolt one of the linkages from under the shifter and remove it with the trans. next time I probably wont fudge with the pin at all while the trans is still in the vehicle
How good of a impact do you need? How many ft lbs of torque
Good video bro. Thanks it’s a big help.
17:20 Do you not have to put a seal between the trans and the engine housing? Mine has an oil leak.
Sounds like you have a rear main seal leak
Exactly what I was going to suggest
Then he fast forwards the fudging video. Wtf
Noticed you put jack stands at the jack points but where did you lift from first?
yes i always have this issue lifting up my old hondas and is so damn annoying
I always lift from where the lower control arm connects to the frame and place jack stands on the tabs. Works well.
@@Asimo44 Like at the bolts or?
@@mrsemifixit yeah at the bolts that go front to back. I believe they bolt to a cross member in the front and directly to the frame in the rear.
I had a buddy do this to my civic step by step...for the most part. He left a couple boltz out here and there. No grinds no pop outs. But very hard/tight to get into gear. Maybe something to do with shift linkage? I need help
May be bad synchros in the transmission. Needs transmission or rebuild
Hey if I get a trans with a good gearset and put new syncros and bearings in would it prevent the trans from grinding in the first place or are the gears basically a wear item regardless?
it could help grinding and make sure u use oem manual transmission fluid
Wish me lucky boys😂
Don't loosen your lower ball joint like I did lol
Very informative thank you man. We have the same exact tools lol. Nice to see I’m not the only one using a 10 year old jack 😅
How much was the manual transmission & where did you get it from?
Would be the same for 2000 Honda EX's 5 speed?
!!! This does not work on a 2001 Civic LX Coupe. The subframe has to be removed, just warning you all out there. Alternatively, you could take the trans out the top. Or possibly remove engine mounts and scooch that engine around to make more room, idk. Any other tricks?
Hey I don't know where in Central Texas you are, but I'm in Copperas Cove and I have a 92 CB7 sedan with an F20B DOHC 5speed swap I picked up. It is an absolute wiring nightmare, MRE cases are jealous of how ratf***ed the wiring in this thing is.
I could really use a hand from someone who has an idea of what they're doing since I'm losing my mind and patience with the damned thing!
I live in cove! Hit me up on Instagram search (Texas Honda channel)
Yep,after the head I guess I need to apply this to the y8 ttanny...
Great video got mine done in less then an hour! Love your channel man! Shout me out on the next one please I would love to start a channel!
Any tips?
This is awesome video! Very detail, makes me confident to do my own swap!
You sir are a god sent! Hell yeah brother! Lol thank man
Thanks for the video man. Helped me a lot with my Del Sol.
glad I could help!
same here lol
Nice work!
Thank you. Got it done last night and tried to get it out as soon as I could for everyone.
Thank you for the video!
I wanted to ask you a question. What happens if it doesn't want to come out of gear. When I push the clutch in. the clutch is still spinning and doesn't want to go into gear or out of gear while the vehicle is on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Slave Cylinder
I think you can honestly only remove the passenger's side axel when removing the transmission. Another thing I would suggest is removing or at least loosening the axel nuts while the car is on the ground. Much easier especially if it has never had them out before!
it looks like the driver axle is connected to the transmission too but i can’t take it out because it’s stuck onto the upper control arm and i’ve been trying to hammer it out
Just finished replacing my clutch. I can confirm you do not have to take the drivers side axle out.
How do you manage to do that? Since both axles are connected to the transmission?
@@aidenjohnstone222how did you manage to do that? Since the axle is connected to the transmission?
Is this for a 2005 Honda Civic ex to?
Do you know if you can rebuild an A000 transmission into a B000 with a rebuild kit. And if so do you know of any good kits
You can not turn into a b000. A b000 has 40mm bearings and a000 35 mm bearings. However there are transmission calculators online that you can use like zeal auto works and show what you happens when you do gear swaps. IF you really wanted to, swap final drive, this is a drop in affair. However the cost of said final drive, it is easier to just by an ex si trans b000 and with out the work.
Whatever you do, stay with parts for same year ranges. 92-95 96-00 as they changed over the years. Gear stacks are swappable shift forks are different.
Is there a particular order to removing/installing transmission? For example can you remove the mount first then transmission bolts into the engine or vice versa or doesn’t matter
Hi mate, at 11.37 ( th-cam.com/video/KkkLWBO67AM/w-d-xo.html ) there's some oil drips around, i have the same on my honda, what's caused by?
Novice car guy and I’m going to attempt this on my civic. Wish me luck!
How did it go?
Yea how did it go ???
Hey, I need help please. I loosened my lower ball joint nut and now whenever I try to tighten it, the whole bolt just spins. And if you look at the top of the ball joint there isn't a head on that bolt it's inside that housing. Apparently the trick is to jam the nut by prying one of the arms with a pry bar bit I can't seem to find a good angle to pry on the arms at all please help
4:49
Yes you need to apply pressure then tighten the nut and make sure the ball joint stud doesn’t spin. Cause it won’t be tight. This happened to me. I would suggest buying a new ball joint. I tried to do a u-turn and next thing you know my whole tire is sideways and my fender was ruined!!
@@espinozaiownedu oh gosh that sucks. So you think I damaged my ball joint? Why would I need to get a new one 😢
@@vadski3469 just as you said when you try to tighten the nut the stud ( bolt ) spins. It’s not tightening it’s just spinning. I know it’s confusing but it happened to me and bad accident can happen. I suggest changing it 100%. Or you hold the stud with vice grips then tighten the nut
Nice work 👍
Thanks!
Hi james, i dont know if you'll see this comment but just wondering, how would one know if the input shaft is lined up properly to the engine? Would it just not even mount on if it wasn't lined up to begin with? I might need to replace my Clutch soon.
By any chance do you have any recommendations for a shop in central Texas that rebuild manual transmissions?
Subframe removal is a must do for the newer Civics nowadays with additional amount of time to consume.
How did you paint your calipers? They look really clean!
Do you have romove both axles for these hondas? Was told you do but ive done clutches before and dident have to
hi i saw that you have a supercharger did you remove your power steering and ac?
Nice job, I think I will depend on this for a while.
Nice tutorial! Axle nut removal “ wow
This is very helpful and detailed!! Awesome content!
Good to hear! I hope this help a lot of people!
What have you done to the engine
Look video
Awesome man
Can you do a Honda stream automatic transmission remove
I'm getting ready to swap an automatic transmission for the LX 5spd. Got a used motor for a 100 bucks and transmission for 250. Getting a re ring kit for engine gonna have the head shaved just in case it's warped because it did over heat. I was going to do ls rods and GX pistons but money is an issue.
Well thought out:
1st- tools neeeded 4 job
2nd- did NOT rush thru the process
Last- test replacement, let viewers know what
we SHOULD expect if done correctly
Thank you (of course I'm gonna subscribe!)
