I purchased a 2015 Honda civic EX with the CVT and I needed to drop the transmission to replace the torque converter and flex plate, your video is the only one I could find. THANK YOU, you saved me so much headache and stress
Thank you sir. Your good deed does not go unnoticed. Because of you alot of people tackle auto projects ,that would otherwise be intimidated by the thought of the task alone . But with your guidance we get it done . Great video .
Great video. I'm looking at a civic that supposedly needs a transmission replaced. Looks like a fairly easy project for myself and son. Thanks for the great video.
Very fun to watch with your commentary & tips as you put the camera in most easily viewable places! I appreciate all the hard work you put into making this vid!

hi im not good in car repair but after buy corolla cvt i want to know my future thanks you very much for you video im french from canada have a nice day
My 2014 LX trans just died on me at 219k. I bought the car with 20k 7 years ago. I did all the fluid changes in the trans regularly. So disappointed. Happy Easter to me
No, they didn't blunder. They don't want their new Civics lasting as long as the old ones. As long as they last through the warranty period, Honda is fine with that.
they do it because they need to meet fuel economy requirement. All manufactures use CVT in their small vehicles nowadays. Pick 2012 thru 2013 Civic, they have conventional transmission.
I have a 2015 with a failed CVT. Which brings me to this video obviously. Does anybody know is it possible to swap for the 5-speed automatic without too much headache? I've done a little bit of research but haven't found much
Hi I have a Honda civic ex 2014 that I believe the transmission blew. I drove it and it blew up with smoke and no gears were working. Trans oil was everywhere. Whats the major difference from a CVT to a non CVT transmission? I bought one from a salvage yard but it does no seem to look the same as my CVT trans, maybe i bought a non CVT so im asking for help.
Great video man. Always cool to see how other people take to their own work by themselves. Always scary....because im afraid the transmission would fall on me. Surprised to see at 19:08 thst the torque converter takes about 0.5qt. I know older ones can store up to 7qt for the typical automatics.
Hey buddy i have honda civic 2015 cvt transmission Can you please tell me because my transmission is slipping alot and it needs to be changed can i install 5 speed AT transmission in place of cvt ?
And all we hear is that only Nissan's CVT's get broken. If you don't change the fluid, and do it right, by using original fluid and doing the level check correctly (which most people does't know how to do it) ANY CVT won't last longer, either it is a Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc.
@mikewu8344 if you put in park let's it idle for while and don't drive yet but try to shift into all gear and check your transmission fluid while idling if low fluid just add it til level then you can put into drive or reverse to see it moving.
Hey, I have a issue with my transmission on 2015 honda civic the check engine light is ON D keeps flashing Code p0741 I have changed the fluid, same fault keeps coming back
My 15 just went out at 90k with atf change at 80k. Felt a minor vibration from a stop light start and boom it disengaged. Already got a replacement but unfortunately don't have any of your skills. Idea on how much I should spend on labour?
@@alltsab where do you live? I have a 15'; buy you case of beer or help you on parts for anything you need as I work part-time at O'Reillys, and help you do the work as well, lol :) Otherwise I will be doing it by myself once I find a transmission with acceptable milage on it of course
Thanks because my brother has the same vehicle and after he replaced his transmission fluid , 190,000 miles 200 miles into it all lights started coming on , jerking and clunking …. Probably time for a new cvt
We have a 2015 and change the trans fluid regularly but never have done the fluid warm filter or the filter down in the pan the car had 155k would you recommend replacing the filter?
@@alltsab Thank you, and I also appreciate you sharing this video, and your dedication in showing how this process is done. It is a lot of work, I would be willing to do if I had the tools handy. Now I am on the fence of repairing ($8K new CVT + labor) or dumping it for cheap. I can try salvage and pay 1400 labor, but the salvage isn't cheap and not guaranteed.
@sidthetech7623 sell it the broken car and buy another good car. 8k plus labor is enough to buy another car already. Let do the math...sell your car for what ever you think it worth the money. Example sell the car for 3k used the 8k if u tranny +1600 labor that is 12.6k I think if you buy exactly same car probably same as 12k and less headache. Unless you find a good deal on a used tranny like 1k and labor 1k then it's worth it to fix what you have.
@@alltsab I have a 2013 accord with cvt that has 160k..did fluid changes as recommended…I baby it because I don’t know much about cvt longevity in Hondas…
@@donovanfahrbach2493 it's doesn't broke all the time and doesn't have limits how many miles it will go wrong as long as you don't abuse it that should last couple hundred thousand.
Did you have to have the transmission recalibrate at the dealer? I bought one from Fenix autoparts and that's what is stated for their 6 mo th warranty
I just finished most of the install, had a hard time finding the right trans filter, ended up going removing and installing from the top. Took the same amount of time though. Just waiting on new axle seals and trans filters and gaskets and we will see if all is good.

Happy Easter 🐰
I have a 2013 E. X. 197000 miles. Shifting are right, but make a noise like a winding noise. What was yours doing? I'm worried it's gonna give out.
Wow you actually get a lot mileage of it.
@@anthonysuhadolnik948 civic didn't use cvt until 2014
How many miles on the donor cvt? Is it low mileage? They are hard to find
Honda blundered by using this piece of junk transmission. Should have stayed with a traditional 5 or 6 speed auto with real solid gears.
I agree
No, they didn't blunder. They don't want their new Civics lasting as long as the old ones. As long as they last through the warranty period, Honda is fine with that.
they do it because they need to meet fuel economy requirement. All manufactures use CVT in their small vehicles nowadays. Pick 2012 thru 2013 Civic, they have conventional transmission.
Knock on wood. Cvt alot of ways is far superior.

The code on the transmission I bought is “CRZ5AA0” with the bottle saying “2002ARZ5”
Thank you, I couldn’t have asked for a better cideo
You welcome
Hi, do you know what part I have to change if I have the code P0842 please ? Is a sensor in the transmission or fixed outside the transmission. Thanks
Great video man. Always cool to see how other people take to their own work by themselves. Always scary....because im afraid the transmission would fall on me. Surprised to see at 19:08 thst the torque converter takes about 0.5qt. I know older ones can store up to 7qt for the typical automatics.
Hey buddy i have honda civic 2015 cvt transmission
Can you please tell me because my transmission is slipping alot and it needs to be changed can i install 5 speed AT transmission in place of cvt ?
Most case Slipped transmission you have to replace or rebuild your transmission.
You cant put a traditional trans because the programming and mounting is way different.
How much did that transmission cost? I’m looking to buy one right now. Thanks!
Do you need to reprogram the transmission
No as seem in this video
How many quarts did the empty transmission take? Im swapping my trans out soon , it’s shipping. It died at 120k miles.
And all we hear is that only Nissan's CVT's get broken. If you don't change the fluid, and do it right, by using original fluid and doing the level check correctly (which most people does't know how to do it) ANY CVT won't last longer, either it is a Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc.
Thank you for such an informative video cheers
Thanks cheers
Does it matter if you didn't put the fluid into the torque converter? 😢 Thanks
@mikewu8344 yes you have to put it in
Thanks, my honda fit just replaced the CVT but it's not working, maybe that's the problem

Depend where taking to. Dealer, they will break your legs and arms. Small auto shop 5 or 8 hundred. As me a case of beer only.
How much was the replacement

Does the TCM have to be programmed after swap?
No

Great job
What mileage did you have before this happened? Also was the fluid changed often? Thanks!
Don't remember but I think 120k
Good video. Love to see more of this type of stuff
Thanks
We have a 2015 and change the trans fluid regularly but never have done the fluid warm filter or the filter down in the pan the car had 155k would you recommend replacing the filter?
Yes
Would you happen to know if this is the same process for a 14 crv?
No
where you locate at
Failed at 120K miles. Do you know if the fluid was ever changed? If so, how often?
I don't know but the fluid kinda dirty
How many quarts of honda transmission fluid does this transmission take including the torque converter?
Do you hv to reprogram after you put transmision the new one?
No
What is that cover on the back of the transmission called the part facing the camera at 22:22 I’m needing to replace that it has a hole in it
I think it call transmission housing cover. Or transmission back housing cover.
@@alltsab thanks
I wish I knew someone like you willing to do this for me... Mine died. No mechanic will even fix it, just want to replace it.
