- Project Mommobile: Transmission Inspection
By Brian Gillespie
While we had the K24 out of Project Mommobile we inspected the TSX transmission. Since we didn't know how the car was driven before we found it in a salvage yard, it would have totally sucked to install it and then find out there was a problem. On more than one occasion we've found a broken gear teeth because the car was in gear when the crash occurred. Besides possible broken parts and worn synchros, these manual transmissions also have a problem that is unique to the TSX. Vigorous driving will stretch the magnesium cases causing problems with the bearing seats.
Follow along as Carter and ace Honda mechanic Doug Ruthroff get deep into this tranny. Despite our poor phrasing you'll find a butt-load of good information in this video if you're interested in checking out a tranny of your own in the privacy of your own garage.

U made that look so easy,great work guys
Great video bro, see you learning keep it up, pops is the God you already know that, Doug did a great job old timers don't explain much just gives more detail precise and straight forward answers... great video
Great work again guys! 😊
Thanks for all the useful information and education on honda transmissions.
You bet! Check out our B series transmission video too, if you haven't already. The way that these Doug and Bryant can fly through a transmission is awesome.
Doug is a hell of a buddy to have around! I have never had that good of a luck taking the case apart or getting the case to go back together. I have only took them apart a handful of times but Jesus wish Doug was closer to me I have a rsx and ep3 tyranny in my garage that needs his help! God bless guys thanks for the videos!
Josh Jones Doug is sooooo legit. 👍🏽
Doug made it look like a walk in the park
awesome video ,so many pro tips in this video!
Thanks!
I ran the vin number on that transmission it was pulled from 2005 tsx with over 200k miles I’m honestly surprised how great of condition it’s in. I purchased a used one recently I hope it’s in the same condition
Yes, both the engine and transmission were in great shape.
I have some tips to show Doug when ever I make it out to AZ.
The master at work
Andrew L Doug rocks!
Is that Brian's big brother😜? Great content as usual 👍
Im glad you guys did a full video on this!! How can i contact doug if i want my k series transmission rebuilt??
Doug for the Win!
Learned on my own with B series and the factory DA manual. But now im thinking about doing the same with my nsn4 trans being I have driven the car 100k miles and will do a clutch soon. This video certainly helps me prepare. Have you guys thought about doing a video on k series timing component replacement? Main weakness with these motors seem to be the hydraulic chain tensioner, of course.
Lucky find, I need a tsx trans right now and can't find nothing for less than 1600 bucks
If I want to rebuilt my engine I would love to send it to this guy LOL. Very knowledgeable. Great Vid!
Doug makes this look easy! Nicely done! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Good!
Bad ass video
WOW!
"Vigorous driving will stretch the magnesium cases causing problems with the bearing seats.” I could be mistaken, but you really didn’t touch on this much in the video. I recently purchase a 2005 TSX and I’m experiencing a lot of “slack” on acceleration/deceleration when in any gear. Despite it having new motor mounts all around, there seems to a lot of “movement” happening no matter how lightly I get back on the gas after I’ve been decelerating. There’s a noticeable "jerk” and the more I read, it sounds like it could have something to do with this stretching that takes place with these transmissions. What would be the primary symptom of this issue and what would you recommend doing to fix it? I see some people swap the housing out for an aluminum version from the accord/newer TSX. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Great vid, but why not upgrade to LSD? What options are there available ?
What your calling the mainshaft is actually the counter shaft. The input shaft is the mainshaft. Another thing I noticed is I usually use the old mainshaft bearing to tap in new one cause they are counter sunk a tad. You may have done this and didnt show it. Nice work man.
Yeah, he knows that. He just misspoke. Great tip on using the old bearing. We actually used a large socket.
I’m having issues with mine 1st pops out some time when putting into gear what could that be
Where do the washers/shims go?
Hi, VTEC Academy, do you use anaerobic sealer or RTV for case halves and does it matter whether its manual or automatic trans's?
NVM, you use Hondabond lol. :\
Permatex Grey UltraSeal works just as great, a little harder on clean up but nothing really bad.
Thumbs up if you got schooled.
I would like to contact you for shimming a transmission an how the to calculate the math on it
Can you make a video on shimming a trans and how the math is done properly?
Next time we do a transmission
HELP!!!!
I HAVE A K24 2004 TSX MY 6 SPEED IS WORN OUT GRINDS POPS N STRUGGLES TO REVERSE. WOULD A ACCORD 5 SPEED BE A SIMPLE SWAP OR WOULD I HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING AXLES, CLUTCH,SENSORS,SHIFTER CABLES,MOTOR MOUNT, HALF SHAFT ECT????
it will just use your tsx guts in the 03-07 USDM accord 2.4 5 speed manual case
. same case as the CL7 Euro R. part # 21200-RAP-000
Does the issue with the magnesium make the transmission break axles? Or would you think that's just from engine mounts being bad?
Could I have some more information? How were the axles breaking?
I appreciate the reply. I just picked up an 05 tsx cheap because it was breaking axles. The guy I bought it from couldn't figure it out. I asked this In the beginning because I was kind of worried there would be a problem with the transmission because I couldn't drive it. But, since then I was able to tear into it. The bottom mounts were GONE as in not there. And the plastic top mount was broken. The whole transmission was lifting up and was putting the axles in a bind. So I figured it out now. But moving forward how would I know if it has the common magnesium transmission issue?
Ok analogy but just take away the reason that you suggest to replace the mainshaft bearing because its tucked in last. Because once you spread the transmission clam youre good in for the rest of the bearings as they are easy to work on. No hard access whatsoever like your pointing out
Wear gloves man, those chemicals are really nasty
I'd like to see this accord hit the track pls
Shane 🤔
Where can I get a speed sensor spacer and what size would it be
Acura
Have u guys ever done a k swap honda fit?
Velton Farrell I would love to see them do kswap on the ge6 😉
I'm really close to start building my gd1 k swap but could do with some more info. No one's willing to give me any info and it's hard to find info on the internet. Not many people in the UK have done the swap
Velton Farrell Nice! I'm planning to kswap my ge6 in the near future. Got a k24 and a FD2R cyclinder head lying around.
Of course. One time Brian was showing some Honda execs a K swapped Fit he did by taking them for a drive. Toyota USA used to be practically next door to American Honda and on the drive they stopped at a red light in front of Toyota headquarters. When the light turned green Brian did a smokey burnout across the intersection. #truestory #wehavefun
This story is internet famous
Do you you fellas have any knowledge for a k20 swap into a 87 Celica fwd
Tre Import Hub not really.
Ask Charlie Mock
Does anyone know if the 03-07 manual Honda Accord case part number
21200-RAP-000. If that bolts up to a 08 tsx manual bell housing.
I came across an Accord 5 speed case, but it doesn’t have the bell housing.
Appreciate if anyone knows.
It won't bolt to the magnesium bell housing.
@@VTECAcademy Thanks for the quick reply! I won’t be buying that transmission case then. Thanks!
Does anyone here have the 04 transmission whine?
i just got schooled hahah
K swap the world
No LSD on a K-swap? Oh brother that poor inside tire
Armstrong Racing too funny inside tire wtf 😂😂😂 . And it’s a Honda no need for a lsd
It’s a daily, it’ll be ok.
Man you are a butcher throwing the gearset & parts around like that. It’d be nice to see a little more care in handling precision parts like that.
For fucks sake clean your parts right. You did not rebuild shit, you replaced a bearing and some seals.
For fucks sake, we aren't claiming to rebuild, it didn't need it. We were inspecting it and replacing worn parts. The only thing we really had to replace were some seals. We replaced one bearing as a precaution. Although we will be rebuilding an RSX Type S trans in the future. I invite you back to comment again.
I dont think there was ever an update on the mom mobile for the ktuner or drivability id love to have some more info to be able to do this swap
We sold it to another employee, and need to do a follow up.
