Thank you for posting, needed to reseal this section due to a small leak. I have already experienced what happens when it runs out of fluid. So far, I have seen it has gone down to 1/3 of capacity of MTF. Ready to fix before putting motor and transmission back in, after replacing timing chain kit. Good day to you.
That plastic piece is what distributes gear oil strategically in the transmission. As the diff turns it scoops up gear oil and flings it to the top of that plastic piece where it flows down to each part where the bearings are. Take it out and you diminish the life of the bearings. It is the same thing on B, H and Transverse F series. IDK about D series though other than the D17 transmissions.
man this is such a great video! honestly probibly one of your most informative videos you have ever made! it took me a few days to figure out how to get my H transmission back together when I put my LSD in! i wish there was more step by step how to videos like this when I didn't have a clue what I was doing! the k seires trans is just like a B, H,F,D trans except there's an extra detent ball and spring, a 6th gear and they changed the 1/2 inch ratchet snap ring plug to separate that case to a hex key. I wonder how many views this is gunna get over the next 5 years?!?!
3rd time my transmission breaks down. I had the confidence in 2 guys already that only made temporary fixes. Cant wait to use this to rebuild my transmission. Thanks for the vid!!!
I’ve found with my Toyota transmissions the oem fluid is 75w90 aka gear oil, with that situation I’ve found it’s best to squirt some syncromesh in with the gear oil to get some more longevity out of the syncros
So I pulled a junkyard on off, took it apart just the case off and looked inside didn't remove the shift forks, but I slid the forks around. Now its together on the bench, run it through all gears, feels good but when I put it in neutral the CV holes still move, I can't stop it with my finger. I'm not sure if this is normal all 4 shift fork things lign up and my shifting assembly goes in good
I don't even have an engine or transmission to work on but i appreciate the hard work you put into your videos bro Very knowledgeable! soon ill be working on a k series of my own😬! Thank you!
Yo man, on the real you just showed me that i can do this on my own, gave me the confidence! Trans isn't as complicated as i thought! The hardest part to me is getting the trans out the car, going by this video the rest is 🎂! Man thank you so much man!!! I got a third gear grind so video was perfect!!!
really appreciate the video, i wanna do the synchros in my 08 civic si. It doesn't like going into first or second, thinking about sending it to synchrotech for a full rebuild, but I know it'll be cheaper if I do it myself
Cheers for the video. I’ve got mine apart currently, but I’m having an issue removing the outer race from the roller bearing out of the casing. Any advice or help with this please?
Please dont roast me yall just wondering if i can follow this to rebuild an Acura 2005 tsx transmission. I got the famous 3rd gear grind and reverse gear grind as well
Great video! But I think I would get a pack of plastic sandwich-bags and put each sub-assembly with its bolts/bits into a separate bag instead of having one big box.
our chump world series series race car lost second gear in a s80 for the same reason. my understanding of that ring is it acts like a brake pad or spring between the synchronizer and hub. Your K series is the only other time I have seen that failure mode. THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS! Even if your doing things I've seen or done before I still pick up little tips along way. Thanks again for opening up your shop to us and sharing your experiences.
what did u mean "that explains 2nd gear"? the reason i ask is because my car will not always stay in 2nd gear. i can shift into 2nd but if the car jerks or if i go to slow it jumps right out. only in 2nd tho. is that the problem with this 1?
Dude omfg. Watching this in 2023 and I got my car back from the dealer and they unplugged this I was wondering why I was having such a hard time shifting from 5th to 6th getting stuck in the reverse. I swore up and down he fucked it up and I’ve been searching to figure out what that plug was on my RSX.💀💀💀😂 you my good sir are a godsend.
found your channel though the Fit Kswap vids... great info for an old guy who did light V8 camaro stuff back in the early 80 and now looking to kswap one of my Honda Fit's. Thanks for putting out this content.
excellent video i tried to rebuild my 1st k series transmission and 1 gear set was sitting higher than the other took them out re aligned like you said and they dropped in perfect thank you!
awesome to see the whole breakdown being explained in detail. I actually have my transmission out of my k20a3 for potential rebuild since I'm replacing my clutch. I like the break down videos! keep them going!
I have a question. , I’m currently trying to assemble my main shaft after buying new 3/4 th gear synchro and hub , when I put 3rd gear on the shaft it spins on its own but when I put the carbon synchro and hub on , 3rd gear stops spinning freely and seems locked to the main shaft , even when 3rd gear isn’t engaged , pls help 😩
Hey bro, I have Ep3 with K24/k20 + 6speed (04 rsx-s) with stock a3 harness + MTEC Springs + Speed Factory Detent springs + Wavetrac LSD. Just did the swap. 3-4-5-6-R is alright, but it would not go into 1st or 2nd gear. I'm stump. Any help would be appreciated.
Love the vid this is teaching me alot I fucks with you. I have a six speed aswell. So when your doing the syncros and you want to replace all three rings do they come as a 3 peice Or do you have to buy all three seperate?
Bro i have a 2017 accord m/t. Speed sensor broke off and fell into the trans. This happened after did my clutch. Shifter felt weird afterwards. Any thoughts on getting the piece out? Of course i will pull the trans out again.
When he said, "This guy used differential oil, which is a big no no, because its thicker." BMW owners: that's my oil This guy: It has an LSD, it must use differential oil instead of OEM Honda.
Hey HSG I have a uc1 K24A4 but is automatic & want to swap to manual . Which trans should I be looking for ? I plan on it being a stock build but trans swap but maybe down the line turbo it . Any advice ?
Do k series seem to have weaker trans compared to older honda trans? Dunno if there just abused more but ive seem to seen more k series trans bite the dust
I hate k series ! I have a 2010 si sedan and it's a total bitch to work on.. you gotta drop the whole core support with the rack and pinion just to pull the transmission out.. the parts for the k are WAY more expensive than old school b series parts.. I will stick with building my Ls vtecs and b20 vtecs they are way cheaper to build and make power but I liked the video man it was very informative thanks alot for the time and work you put into these videos for us.. I have learned a lot from your channel I hope you continue to make videos.. just not about any more k series lol jk jk
Good day, assistance needed. Cant get the the c- clip to open. There is fine aluminium shavings in the groove. The clip is stuck. Had issues with the gearbox, was going into 6 gear. What can l do to separate the gearset from the casing? Urgent assistance needed.
Is it a crucial thing to replace final drive bearings and them not have the metal race seal around the top inside? Just did a bearing and seal overhauld and final drive gear replacement and want to be sure before i actually install back into the daily😅 thanks! Awesome video btw👌👌👌
This video helped me find y my reverse lights are not working. Rite when I bought the car it had a k24 swope and the reverse switch plug is missing and I thought it was the reverse lock out.
how much oil does the k series trans need because I got a jdm trans off a type r and it makes almost the same noise as my last trans its not a grind its more like a sshhhhhhhh noise
Gonna comment again an just say what a wounder video this was to watch. Love how you did things twice at times when it was a important part to get rite. I will prolly watch this video many times over to get this information sunk in the old melon.
What is the best alternative to Honda man. trans. fluid? I want to say I remember you use Synchromesh, but not sure what brand (Pennzoil, GM, ACdelco....). Thanks!
I really wanted to watch this, but got dizzy after the first 3 minutes. moving forward manually every 5 seconds works great though. thanks for the tutorial
Thank you for posting, needed to reseal this section due to a small leak. I have already experienced what happens when it runs out of fluid. So far, I have seen it has gone down to 1/3 of capacity of MTF. Ready to fix before putting motor and transmission back in, after replacing timing chain kit. Good day to you.
I’ve rebuilt two b series transmissions (GSR and LS). Glad to see how similar these k series transmissions are. Ready to rebuild one for a k swap now!
Bro, this video saves lives! You gave me the confidence with this in depth video. Thank you man!!!!! Amazing DIY video!
That plastic piece is what distributes gear oil strategically in the transmission. As the diff turns it scoops up gear oil and flings it to the top of that plastic piece where it flows down to each part where the bearings are. Take it out and you diminish the life of the bearings. It is the same thing on B, H and Transverse F series. IDK about D series though other than the D17 transmissions.
Amazing to see mechanical parts come together from scratch. Wish I had the patience to do stuff like this lol can't wait for the next episode 👌
man this is such a great video! honestly probibly one of your most informative videos you have ever made! it took me a few days to figure out how to get my H transmission back together when I put my LSD in! i wish there was more step by step how to videos like this when I didn't have a clue what I was doing! the k seires trans is just like a B, H,F,D trans except there's an extra detent ball and spring, a 6th gear and they changed the 1/2 inch ratchet snap ring plug to separate that case to a hex key.

Man this video definitely going to help me rebuild my trans. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video def gonna use this to rebuild my trans
You gained a sub just how through you were thank you
Most helpful video I've watched on a Honda transmission😂
we need like 2 videos per week
So I pulled a junkyard on off, took it apart just the case off and looked inside didn't remove the shift forks, but I slid the forks around. Now its together on the bench, run it through all gears, feels good but when I put it in neutral the CV holes still move, I can't stop it with my finger. I'm not sure if this is normal all 4 shift fork things lign up and my shifting assembly goes in good
to get my clip to seat, I flipped the transmission over, and bounced it on my workbench. The cluster settled and the clip snapped into place.
Great stuff bro keep it up great content💯
Dame bull thank u for coming back big fan bro was up wasts new my name jose
Fantastic description. Thank you so much!
La mejor explanation how do , el que sabe explica y ensena bien …gracias
Remember to take the speed sensor out! I damaged mine by not taking it out and smashing it on the gear while trying to separate the case
I don't even have an engine or transmission to work on but i appreciate the hard work you put into your videos bro Very knowledgeable! soon ill be working on a k series of my own😬! Thank you!
I love you man!!!! definitely needed this vid!!!

Yes! Please more K series! 5 speed! More K series everything. Your videos are awesome to learn from! Do way more!
Yo man, on the real you just showed me that i can do this on my own, gave me the confidence! Trans isn't as complicated as i thought!

I have a third gear grind how did your rebuild go?

I'm going to use this video to help me work on my box. Will give it a crack :D
Cheers for the video. I’ve got mine apart currently, but I’m having an issue removing the outer race from the roller bearing out of the casing. Any advice or help with this please?
Please dont roast me yall just wondering if i can follow this to rebuild an Acura 2005 tsx transmission. I got the famous 3rd gear grind and reverse gear grind as well
What’s the difference between automatic and manual transmission rebuild for the k-series? Or is there a link i could check?
Hey the bolt that holds reverse into place by any chance do you know the bolt size and length ? Thanks
Great video! But I think I would get a pack of plastic sandwich-bags and put each sub-assembly with its bolts/bits into a separate bag instead of having one big box.
plzz do a k24a2 swap on a crx . iam trying to find some one in youtube that does it step by step bro ...

thanks for your video man it's had me a lot thanks
At 5:09 how long is that bokt .please and thank you
Anybody know, was there an automatic transmission version?

So if I am building my eg to be a all motor rally style car. What trans is goin to be my go to for that style of driving...?
What constitutes a good trans?
found your channel though the Fit Kswap vids... great info for an old guy who did light V8 camaro stuff back in the early 80 and now looking to kswap one of my Honda Fit's. Thanks for putting out this content.
I stay in nc I have a gsr transmission how much would you charge me to rebuild it
Great video! I love all HSG content, But would love to see more D-series stuff! Maybe even Vitara build or something idk lol. Much love HSG
Brad Sr. lol yea i know, But a new HD in-detail version would be real nice! :)
Good work. you can just flip the gearbox over and the snap ring will drop straight in. :)
excellent video i tried to rebuild my 1st k series transmission and 1 gear set was sitting higher than the other took them out re aligned like you said and they dropped in perfect thank you!
can you do a video on k series timing chain replacement and timing
awesome to see the whole breakdown being explained in detail. I actually have my transmission out of my k20a3 for potential rebuild since I'm replacing my clutch. I like the break down videos! keep them going!
Did you ever make a video with the carbon gears and lsd? Doing one in the future would love to watch something
is it possible to have a parts list with the parts numbers?
one of my 10mm bolts on shift linkage is broken off inside any ideas please help
Hell yea some k series stuff!!
I have a question. , I’m currently trying to assemble my main shaft after buying new 3/4 th gear synchro and hub , when I put 3rd gear on the shaft it spins on its own but when I put the carbon synchro and hub on , 3rd gear stops spinning freely and seems locked to the main shaft , even when 3rd gear isn’t engaged , pls help 😩
What trans are you running?
Do you rather have synchrotech or OEM synchros?
Hey bro, I have Ep3 with K24/k20 +
6speed (04 rsx-s) with stock a3 harness + MTEC Springs + Speed Factory Detent springs + Wavetrac LSD.
Just did the swap. 3-4-5-6-R is alright, but it would not go into 1st or 2nd gear.
I'm stump. Any help would be appreciated.
Yo . I just subscribed . And I wanted to let you know you’re a bad ass . That’s it . You’re bad ass bro 😎
Thank you!
@@HondaStreetGarage where are you based at bro ?
Love the vid this is teaching me alot I fucks with you. I have a six speed aswell. So when your doing the syncros and you want to replace all three rings do they come as a 3 peice Or do you have to buy all three seperate?
I decided to give this a try on my k20a2 2nd gear grind... Does the plastic tray have to go back in??
@The Rooster 6 hours and 20 days too late
Bro i have a 2017 accord m/t. Speed sensor broke off and fell into the trans. This happened after did my clutch. Shifter felt weird afterwards. Any thoughts on getting the piece out? Of course i will pull the trans out again.
When he said, "This guy used differential oil, which is a big no no, because its thicker."
BMW owners: that's my oil
This guy: It has an LSD, it must use differential oil instead of OEM Honda.
Also! Just figured this out putting mine back together. The "oil gutter" aka the trans baffle. Is EXTREMELY fragile. Just a heads up
Hey HSG I have a uc1 K24A4 but is automatic & want to swap to manual . Which trans should I be looking for ? I plan on it being a stock build but trans swap but maybe down the line turbo it . Any advice ?

Good day, assistance needed. Cant get the the c- clip to open. There is fine aluminium shavings in the groove. The clip is stuck. Had issues with the gearbox, was going into 6 gear. What can l do to separate the gearset from the casing? Urgent assistance needed.
this vid is excellent help. i just purchased a k20a3 trans for $35 and $35 for k20 intake manifold in ottawa 2wks ago
Awesome man!! Seeing it from Puerto Rico !!
So you dont have to press all the gears off the shafts?
Is it a crucial thing to replace final drive bearings and them not have the metal race seal around the top inside? Just did a bearing and seal overhauld and final drive gear replacement and want to be sure before i actually install back into the daily😅 thanks! Awesome video btw👌👌👌
This video helped me find y my reverse lights are not working. Rite when I bought the car it had a k24 swope and the reverse switch plug is missing and I thought it was the reverse lock out.
My second gear started to chatter super bad. So can you guess why I'm here. I'm so scared slash nervous. "I've never done this before" ahaha.
Hello so when I put back my gear selector and I push down, it won’t let me into 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th gear for some reason
how much oil does the k series trans need because I got a jdm trans off a type r and it makes almost the same noise as my last trans its not a grind its more like a sshhhhhhhh noise
Gonna comment again an just say what a wounder video this was to watch. Love how you did things twice at times when it was a important part to get rite. I will prolly watch this video many times over to get this information sunk in the old melon.
You are a life saver I was gonna try to rebuild my trans on my own. This video gave me the confidence to get this shit done.
What is the best alternative to Honda man. trans. fluid? I want to say I remember you use Synchromesh, but not sure what brand (Pennzoil, GM, ACdelco....). Thanks!
2009stevecry go to the GM dealership and get the Synchromesh with additives I prefer Honda transmission oil
Anyone elses 6th gear counter shaft bearing wobble? Is this normal for a semi radial thrust ball bearing?
What are some of the tools used for this
Amazing 👏 I need this because my 3rd gear synchro is going in my 8th gen si. Thank you so much
No bullshit i like how you explain things bro.. communication is key #subscribe
How similar would this be to the atc6 6speed manual used on 7th gen v6 accords?
lil bit different from the b series but it looks pretty easy to work with
What would happen if I install that magnet backwards ?
keep the good DIY video awsome work .😎
So you you didn’t replace the bearings? Wtf
bro whats the power limit can a k20a 6speed with oem lsd can handle? tia
About time ;)
12:03 my gear set definitely is not lifting up? Is it stuck or something?
Could someone tell me, is this the same transmission in the FN2 CTR?
I really wanted to watch this, but got dizzy after the first 3 minutes. moving forward manually every 5 seconds works great though. thanks for the tutorial
whats the special tool???? would be much appriciated
Hey Bro Are you Guys going to be at IA???
Thanks mate! i'm gonna replace the gearbox bearings of my ep3 tommorow
