agreed!!! I don't have a secondary car nor the time to do this type of work, although I do as much as I can myself. mainly just watching to make sure I get the correct parts and what not...local transmission shop said $400-$500 for labor . And I'm trying to do the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, rear main seal the whole 9 yards lol, would want OEM or better parts....I'm a huge believer in you get what you pay for. (Exclusions apply obviously ....) but do enough research and you'll be good 👍
Way to go for attempting this at home. It’s one of the more difficult civics with the subframe. My one tip would be to use blue thread lock instead of red.
Dude thanks so much for making this. My throwout bearing has been getting a little noisy for a few months now and I have been hesitant to attempt the project since there were no videos last time I checked a few months ago. Just found this and its like its sent from god! So thorough I don't even think I will have to open a book. Absolutely grateful. Please keep making videos for this car as surely alot of them are approaching the age/mileage where things start to fail. Cheers!
I'm about to start the process on the exact same car and I knew I was in the right place when I saw the EXACT same crescent tool kit thanks a bunch for the video
Not a bad video, adjustable wrench is nuts, transmission floor jack is great for adjusting the transmissions angle when removing and installing. I always used big zip ties to hold back hoses, spindles and other things for clearance. A strut tower engine support works so well to support a engine. Overall great video, u did alot of tooling, meaning you used alot of handtools. I remember those days.
Hey Steve D! After 12 years and 207K miles, with help from your video I busted out those tools, put away my wallet, and fixed it myself! Thank you sir!!! Will add some tips below that I learned below but your video was on the MONEY
Some additions to the video. As always, having an extra set of hands helps: 3:48, Battery Tray Bottom Bolts Steve talks about: Person one, get under the bumper (if you get under there and look for them, they'll stare you right in the face) and tie onto the bolt(s) with a socket and 6" extension, go with half inch socket for leverage. Don't really need 1/2" but there's plenty of room for one. Person two, drop 1/2" ratchet down and let person one lock you in. Crack those loose a bit with a pipe/make shift breaker bar on the ratchet since it won't be poking up much. 8:07: Definitely 2nd the tying off to the strut suggestion. Using the same tow straps (ratchet straps worked great for us here in CHI and seem ideal for the job). Much less work, less complicated, and 100% out of the way for the meat of this job. 9:59: There is a rubber wrap around the steering linkage you can see under the bracket with the 14's. Keep an eye on this when reassembling. It needs to be lined up with the bolt holes on the money or you won't be able to get the bracket back on. When you get the subframe back up, don't lock it all in anymore than you need to until you've confirmed this is lined up. We had some shiftage during the whole process and ended up having to pull back out the lateral subframe bolts and loosen the main 4 17mm subframe bolts just to be able to scoot that rubber wrap over a half inch. If you tighten everything up and this is misaligned, it won't budge. 12:17: Drivers side swivel bracket. If you have 1/2" wobbler (universal?) sockets, you can come in from the top with a couple long 1/2" extensions. Get someone down below to hold the socket on while tying in the extensions and torqueing. You will be able to get close enough to vertical to crack both those loose. I did not quite understand the process for these in the video but coming in from the top seemed easier if you have the socket for that method.
Great video and very thorough! Glad to see I got the right clutch and flywheel, about to do this job tomorrow. Your video makes me feel a lot better, I will definitely be pulling it up on my phone to reference during the install!
awesome bud! just make sure you secure the steering rack secure enough so it doesn't drop with the subframe. That was my mistake and had to go get an alignment. Let me know how it goes :)
@@steveDIY Even in a shop with a lift it took me 12 hours, but I did it! A lot of that time was spent figuring out what socket/wrench combination worked for some of the harder to reach bolts on the cradle. And waiting for a new pilot bushing to be delivered because I split mine installing the first one :/ But man, it's so much better now and I definitely have you to thank! 👊🙏
Great video DIY Dude! Excellent job doing all that work! Just one thing I would suggest is when removing the pressure plate bolts in that criss cross pattern, just back them out a couple of turns each as you make your way around the plate a few times until they are removed, so that the last couple of bolts are not under undue stress. Same when reinstalling, go a few turns each and make your way around in the criss cross pattern until they are all tightened to specs. :)
Man looking at the amount of work this takes makes me want to take a nap.. as much as I want to fix my release bearing lol. I hate dealing with rusted up seized bolts. I did have my transmission replaced not all that long ago but the bearing is making noise and pissing me off lol...
Haha turn it into a weekend project and don’t try to do it all in a day. Set up some short goals for Friday Saturday and a Sunday and you’ll be glad you did it!
Another thing I want to note is that you are calling a regular wrench a crescent wrench. That will confuse novice diyers. Your guide is amazing and the best guide for this I have seen, but a regular open end/box end wrench is not a crescent wrench.
Yo dude! Thank you for this vid! I have a 09’ civic si and the clutch is slipping pretty bad in high gears. I am really wrestling with this DIY job as it looks deep. I’ve done a lot of work myself on my car.. ie valve adj, gear selector springs, complete suspension change but this looks hard. I am a person that any easy job will become difficult. I’m looking to spend almost 1k on the parts alone so saving on install will help.. lol I’m scared...🥺 If I do tackle this your video does help with the confidence to work through it. Thank you I’m just a regular dude too. Oh and Merry Christmas and give your wife props for getting in there, not many ladies like that around.👍🏻
just watched this whole vid, im wondering how much of this would apply to the honda civic fn2 ? i cant imagine it would be that different ? but im willing to give it a go, based on this video. your a legend man. keep up the good work ! :)
Man, I can't thank you enough for making this video. Just replaced the clutch, rear main seal, throwout bearing, using your video step-by-step. Thank you so much! Unlike some of the others, I like the music :-). Also, I learned the bread trick works great if you use a penny, extension rod and hammer. Just stick the penny on top of the bread (i made dough with flour and water), and hammer it with the extension rod. Bang. Thanks a ton!
So I'm doing the same job. The same engine mount bolt that came out stripped on you did for me. Plus two more. One the bolt is hosed. Threads to. Going to try a thread spring and a new bolt.
The 8th gen and up made fixing a Honda more complicated. They wanted to compact the components more and more. The extreme slant of the windshield, longer dash caused a push out on the firewall and made the engine bay a 2nd priority in engineering. With that, follows access to everything else. Look under the hood on a 7th gen, then an 8th, 9th or 10th gen civic. It is astounding the direction the design team took. 7th gen and all generations previous to it are awesome to work on. But in the end of the day, a Civic is a Civic. It will last you forever if you take care of it.
Hi bro u did it the long way u didn't need to do all that there are many ways much easier are faster don't so many time no need to strap up steering rack
Bro thank you for this video helps me alot. I appreciate it. I just have to say one thing. Blue anti seize. Also no offense... The music kinda kills it. Maybe replace with rock, metal, or hip hop maybe?.. or even none at all... Other than that this video is extremely helpful and well done.
Thanks for this video now I know how f. I'm in this moment 🤦♂️ tell you my civic broke the bolts of the starter now I have to do allllllllll that to fix it 🤷♂️✌
Attempting my 2006 civic lx in 2 weeks. I was having issues with the clutch chugging really bad and not engaging smooth. I think it may have been more of my pressure plate having issues but the kit replaced all of that.
23:23 that bolt got 'threadbound' it sucks ....steel to ally fixings....a bit of heat may have sorted it however one can just use a bolt and a nut on the end works fine ....dont stress !! great vid BTW , peace !
Thanks. I will be using this video when the clutch starts to slip. Right now it’s just the throw out bearing driving me nuts. Also since this is something you make money off of I will definitely throw a few bucks your way after I get it done. For future videos as a viewer please no music. Especially diy videos. People need to hear everything you say. Thanks
Congrats for the Video. I have two question for you. What should be the correct threadlocker to use for flywheel bolts? There are too many in the market to choose. Second question. Do you use the threadlocker only for the flywheel bolts or also for the pressure plate bolts?. Thanks!.
Hey bud, I bought a red thread locker off amazon, I’ve had some comments on this saying that is overkill and might need heat to get them off next time, but I never wanted to get under there again because of a loose bolt so I used red. I’m trying to remember but I think I used the threadlocker on both but can’t remember fully
Yea I packed it full of bread. And found a socket that was the exact size of the inside diameter of the bearing and pounded it out. I had audio that instructed how to do it but the music was copyright and covered up the words sorry!
Do NOT use regular chrome sockets and extensions with an impact gun. It is possible for them to shatter, and that would be a real bad day for you if any part of your body is nearby when it happens.
Depends what tools you have a experience with wrenching on things. If you’re a beginner I’d take a weekend to do it. If your experienced you could bust it out in 6-8hours
So, if a guy doesn't have any of these tools I'd say it's cheaper to let a mechanic do it. Just for perspective, a good torque wrench costs $100 + alone. That doesn't count any tool sets he needs to buy, jack, jack stands, or any other specialty items associated with changing a clutch. I do all my own work, but when you factor in a guy who has none of the tools required, it's better for a mechanic to do it and when a mechanic does it the customer gets a specific warranty on the work, whether it is 1 month or 25,000 miles. So for all the guys in the comments with 0 tools for this, have a Mechanic do it. In the end it will be cheaper and less frustrating on you.
very true, or if you are mechanically inclined...you could put the money you would've paid a mechanic and put it towards tools and have them for life :)
@@steveDIY You are also right. :) I really appreciate your video, it is really detailed and probably the best video for a specific car out there. You cover everything as far as what you gotta do and what problems you might run into. Again Love the video and this is the video I use to tell a buddy who is wanting to do it to use as a cheat sheet :)
I tried it without removing the subframe, there is just no way, however, if you wanted to replace the clutch and the pressure plate ONLY, it is possible but you will find it tight to work on. Edit: I think I didn't mention that in this way you will have to support the transmission on the side of the subframe and have another jack supporting the other end of the transmission, and in that tight clearance you can barley insert a ratchet but definitely not an impact gun so that you remove the pressure plate and the clutch.
@bikramsidhu4082 go to am alignment shop and they should be able to fix you up as long as it’s close enough to bring straight. If your steering wheel is way off then I would do the steering rack and try to get it as close as you can and let the alignment shop do the rest
@@steveDIY i was able to get it, actually it is very easy to do it from inside car drives side, I removed 10mm bolt from inside car drive side, took out the steering column , locked the steering wheel, eyeballed alignment of front tires to rear, then got the steering column back in and then got the bolt back in and then did the wheel alignment, everything went smoothly, thanks for great video
My car doesn’t have the last bracket on the transmission at 20:42 And My clutch has rust all over, how bad is that and does that bracket hold in transmission fluid? Thanks for the video
Hi! I am so thankful for this video. I am thinking of doing this myself next week. Just need to purchase the tools. What is the best car Jack set? Is this video comparable to my 2007 honda civic sedan? I will mos def donate to your paypal when I'm done.
hey bud, you can find a pair of 2 ton car jacks that should work fine on amazon from 20-40$, a rolling 2 ton jack is nice to and would be probably be 50$ on craigslist if you look around :) I think it would work but I would research it a bit more and look at your engine and bolts to see if it is similar to what this 2006 model had :) good luck! thanks for donating to :)
Good evening bro,i watch your vieo's regularly and i learnt a lot,thank you for your informational videos,bro i have honda 2006 model origin japan,in my car have some problems,can you pls tell me about?
When i drive in dashboard two lights showing, one is check engine,second is D flashing,some time not making proper pick and then transmission shift problem,what i do bro pls tell me about,im very thankful to you
@DIYDUDE I lost my bolts at godfathers from the first half of the steps from the hood of the project would you happen to know which size bolts I’ll need to order??? If you could help out I appreciate it thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh no!!!! Ummmm... you should be able to find them in a parts diagram by the rough location of them...I haven’t searched for bolt diagrams.. how many are you missing?
Just got a clutch kit for mine but the pressure plate fingers are a bit uneven. Maximum by 2mm. Do you know if that affect anything?? Previously had gear engaging issues.
Hey man where did you get your bolts for the flyaway on the pressure plate from because the dealer wants almost $400 for the set. If you see this please help me out.
This video has been awesome. I think I made a little mistake though... I got the subframe off and crawled underneath and I see a splined shaft just hanging out in a hole and I can see the underside of my dash through it. Is something supposed to hold that shaft into the sleeve that comes right off the back of my steering wheel?
Mike Clement hey bud, sounds like your steering shaft came out. You need to make sure your steering wheel is as straight as possible when you put it back in. You will more than likely have to get an alignment once you are done. The steering rack comes off when you don’t support it good enough with straps. I did the same thing.
Hello sir... What is the bearing number (clutch plate center bearing) used in honda civic reborn please. I want to buy bearing from auto market but i donot know its number or size etc. I need the Number printed on the bearing. We have lost the old bearing and now donot know its number or size. Please help.
I'm a diy guy too , have a motorcycle I just replaced my clutch took me like an hour or so , then my clutch goes out on my 06 civic so I'm like oh ill do it myself , then I see this. Fuck that
Sir... Need number or size of clutch plate center bearing or also called engine center bearing. Please tell the number or size printed on the bearing please.
If you aren’t having any symptoms I wouldn’t worry. Typically symptoms don’t happen all at once. It’s a gradual process that gets worse. You will know once your clutch is slipping if you know what to look for
My car has already 280k. Do I just need to replace flying wheel and the bolts, rear main seal, Pressure plate, clutch only as you showed on video or anything else. Can I still use/keep the transmission block. Please advise me. Thanks
If your transmission doesn’t seem to be giving you issues i would think you are fine, to just replace all clutch related parts you mentioned. but if you are already pulling out the transmission and want peace of mind you can buy a used one with less miles and replaces it all and get another 200k if your motor is in good shape
@@steveDIY thanks for the fast reply. I will probably be getting under my car this week. Had a clutch kit for months and was waiting for the weather to get nice. Great video. KUTGW

agreed!!! I don't have a secondary car nor the time to do this type of work, although I do as much as I can myself.
mainly just watching to make sure I get the correct parts and what not...local transmission shop said $400-$500 for labor
. And I'm trying to do the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, rear main seal the whole 9 yards lol, would want OEM or better parts....I'm a huge believer in you get what you pay for.

Glad to help bud! I was in the same boat as you wishing a better video was out there. Stoked you can get in there and fix your throwout bearing 🤟
@@steveDIY once I complete the project I will absolutely toss you 5 bucks I promise.
This is the best video on all youtube that really shows how to take off the transmission step by step.. thanks for video it´s a great help
Glad it helped out bud! Best of luck with the project 🤙🏻
I'm about to start the process on the exact same car and I knew I was in the right place when I saw the EXACT same crescent tool kit

You got it bud!
I'm about to tackle this same issue, SO glad I found your awsome video by far the best I've come across. Thank you!
Highly recommend getting the knuckle and CV axles out first. Give a lot more room to get to some of the subframe and steering bolts.

While you’re there drop a k20 in it...I mean your halfway there! What happened to the easy to fix Honda’s

Yeaaa.. I’ll take my car to the shop, I would been lost already before even strapping the engine

awesome! still this guide is awesome thanks alot @@steveDIY
You didn't really use "RED" thread-lock. It will take heat to remove the bolt next time. "BLUE" thread-lock is the norm.
Haha I hope I’m not the next person wrenching on those bolts then... 😂
Do NOT use regular chrome sockets and extensions with an impact gun. It is possible for them to shatter, and that would be a real bad day for you if any part of your body is nearby when it happens.

So, if a guy doesn't have any of these tools I'd say it's cheaper to let a mechanic do it. Just for perspective, a good torque wrench costs $100 + alone. That doesn't count any tool sets he needs to buy, jack, jack stands, or any other specialty items associated with changing a clutch. I do all my own work, but when you factor in a guy who has none of the tools required, it's better for a mechanic to do it and when a mechanic does it the customer gets a specific warranty on the work, whether it is 1 month or 25,000 miles. So for all the guys in the comments with 0 tools for this, have a Mechanic do it. In the end it will be cheaper and less frustrating on you.
very true, or if you are mechanically inclined...you could put the money you would've paid a mechanic and put it towards tools and have them for life :)
@@steveDIY You are also right. :) I really appreciate your video, it is really detailed and probably the best video for a specific car out there. You cover everything as far as what you gotta do and what problems you might run into. Again Love the video and this is the video I use to tell a buddy who is wanting to do it to use as a cheat sheet :)
Did you absolutely have to remove the subframe to sneak the transmission out? Even with axles out?
Not sure you can get it out without dropping the subframe on this year. I couldn’t find anyone who left it on and dropped the tranny. Sorry bud
I tried it without removing the subframe, there is just no way, however, if you wanted to replace the clutch and the pressure plate ONLY, it is possible but you will find it tight to work on.
Edit: I think I didn't mention that in this way you will have to support the transmission on the side of the subframe and have another jack supporting the other end of the transmission, and in that tight clearance you can barley insert a ratchet but definitely not an impact gun so that you remove the pressure plate and the clutch.
Amazing video, very helpful
Glad it helped! Great job for tackling the job yourself!
@@steveDIY clutch is done, tested it while car was in the air, everything worked, with one catch 😄, got steering rack out of place
@bikramsidhu4082 go to am alignment shop and they should be able to fix you up as long as it’s close enough to bring straight. If your steering wheel is way off then I would do the steering rack and try to get it as close as you can and let the alignment shop do the rest
@@steveDIY i was able to get it, actually it is very easy to do it from inside car drives side, I removed 10mm bolt from inside car drive side, took out the steering column , locked the steering wheel, eyeballed alignment of front tires to rear, then got the steering column back in and then got the bolt back in and then did the wheel alignment, everything went smoothly, thanks for great video
Great video bro .... It helped so so much to do it myself!
Thanks brother that helped out tons. Keep KILLIN IT👉🤟
Is it not possible doing this job without removing the subframe? or well it (for sure) get in the way of removing the trans?
Not that I’m aware of. Other civics you can. You can try though and let us know if you can get it out with the subframe still on!
@@steveDIY forgot to mention, very nice and well-detailed tutorial, thanks a lot.
do you need to replace rear main seal when changing flywheel?
I did since I was down there :)!
My car doesn’t have the last bracket on the transmission at 20:42 And My clutch has rust all over, how bad is that and does that bracket hold in transmission fluid? Thanks for the video
Hi! I am so thankful for this video. I am thinking of doing this myself next week. Just need to purchase the tools. What is the best car Jack set? Is this video comparable to my 2007 honda civic sedan? I will mos def donate to your paypal when I'm done.
hey bud, you can find a pair of 2 ton car jacks that should work fine on amazon from 20-40$, a rolling 2 ton jack is nice to and would be probably be 50$ on craigslist if you look around :) I think it would work but I would research it a bit more and look at your engine and bolts to see if it is similar to what this 2006 model had :) good luck! thanks for donating to :)
Thanks for the tutorial. The music was very distracting at certain points when your voice wasn't registering as well on your mic.
Would you recommend changing the trans fluid if it’s never been changed?
I would check the color and depending on that change it
How did you get the fly wheel to stay still so you can torque down the bolts? You don’t show it in the video.
Do you have another video where you installed the rear main seal? I didn't see that process in this video.
Here it is th-cam.com/video/4RQS98VEw-Y/w-d-xo.html
Great video dude. How long did it take you? Have to do mine in a day or two
It should take you 1 day or 2 if you have some issues.
you made my job 100% helpfull
Thanks
You’re welcome 🤙🏻
Good evening bro,i watch your vieo's regularly and i learnt a lot,thank you for your informational videos,bro i have honda 2006 model origin japan,in my car have some problems,can you pls tell me about?
When i drive in dashboard two lights showing, one is check engine,second is D flashing,some time not making proper pick and then transmission shift problem,what i do bro pls tell me about,im very thankful to you
Thank you bro for this video
@DIYDUDE I lost my bolts at godfathers from the first half of the steps from the hood of the project would you happen to know which size bolts I’ll need to order??? If you could help out I appreciate it thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh no!!!! Ummmm... you should be able to find them in a parts diagram by the rough location of them...I haven’t searched for bolt diagrams.. how many are you missing?
Just got a clutch kit for mine but the pressure plate fingers are a bit uneven. Maximum by 2mm. Do you know if that affect anything?? Previously had gear engaging issues.
You didn't have anything holding the engine when taking out the sub frame or is that being held by the mounts?
Do you have to line the flywheel up to a certain spot? Wasn’t sure if it has any sort of timing marks or not
is there a pivot ball on that fork?
Hey man where did you get your bolts for the flyaway on the pressure plate from because the dealer wants almost $400 for the set. If you see this please help me out.
I believe I used the ones from the old flywheel.
Why didn't you drop the steering rack with everything
Class video thanks
This video has been awesome. I think I made a little mistake though... I got the subframe off and crawled underneath and I see a splined shaft just hanging out in a hole and I can see the underside of my dash through it. Is something supposed to hold that shaft into the sleeve that comes right off the back of my steering wheel?
Mike Clement hey bud, sounds like your steering shaft came out. You need to make sure your steering wheel is as straight as possible when you put it back in. You will more than likely have to get an alignment once you are done. The steering rack comes off when you don’t support it good enough with straps. I did the same thing.
@@steveDIY Thanks for the reply! Working on it a bit at a time. Finally dropped the transmission today.
Great video, thanks.
Thanks for this tutorial it really helped me alot and saved me time!
your welcome bud! thanks for the kick back, really appreciate it :)
Great video
Hello sir... What is the bearing number (clutch plate center bearing) used in honda civic reborn please. I want to buy bearing from auto market but i donot know its number or size etc. I need the Number printed on the bearing. We have lost the old bearing and now donot know its number or size. Please help.
I'm a diy guy too , have a motorcycle I just replaced my clutch took me like an hour or so , then my clutch goes out on my 06 civic so I'm like oh ill do it myself , then I see this. Fuck that
How much the stock r18 clutch weighs?
Good video, but it just doesn't need the music.
You still have this car?? How many miles now
Another question? Why did you take out the pilot bushing? Did your kit come with a new one? Mine didn’t...
I bought one separately
I was that deep in the car that i decided to replace it
DIY Dude Gotcha. Thanks again for the response.
Sir... Need number or size of clutch plate center bearing or also called engine center bearing. Please tell the number or size printed on the bearing please.
Sorry I don’t know the bearing number
@@steveDIY ok no problem Sir... Thank you very much for your prompt response.
Im only here cause I’m getting worried a bit I have put 280,000km on my civic but I have never had to replace the clutch yet. Is this Normal?
If you aren’t having any symptoms I wouldn’t worry. Typically symptoms don’t happen all at once. It’s a gradual process that gets worse. You will know once your clutch is slipping if you know what to look for
You've done well if it hasn't slipped at 280k kms bro. I had to do mine at 220k
You have music over what I assume is supposed to be you saying important things?
Sorry, original music was copywriting, had to switch it and lost some audio
How many miles did your car have on it when you had to replace the clutch looking at buying the same car with 170k stock everything
Mine had approximately 150k. I knew the driver before me and understand why it looked the way it looked. 😉
My car has already 280k. Do I just need to replace flying wheel and the bolts, rear main seal, Pressure plate, clutch only as you showed on video or anything else. Can I still use/keep the transmission block. Please advise me. Thanks
If your transmission doesn’t seem to be giving you issues i would think you are fine, to just replace all clutch related parts you mentioned. but if you are already pulling out the transmission and want peace of mind you can buy a used one with less miles and replaces it all and get another 200k if your motor is in good shape
Can anyone inform me how long it takes
I understand why they charge so much but I feel like they shouldn’t have made such a necessary process such a pain
PB blaster works better just saying 14
Why not take the rack out?
Don't need the music
Good video music too loud
except i don’t have any tools:(
How long would anyone say this took them. Especially for a first timer
Just had a guy comment this week that it took him roughly 12 hours. I would say that is a reasonable time frame. 8-12 hour job.
@@steveDIY thanks for the fast reply. I will probably be getting under my car this week. Had a clutch kit for months and was waiting for the weather to get nice. Great video. KUTGW
Awesome bud man let us know how it goes :)!
How many miles the card had?
150k
I find this job easier when you just pull the whole power train
