Man I give you guys props doing this kind of work without a hoist or a shop. I'm lucky I have all the equipment I need. The perks of being a tech. Makes life easy when it comes to working on your own car. Only issue is taking the time off work. The bosses are pretty cool thou when it comes to your own cars.
It's a pita honestly lol... I tell myself, "man, wish i had a shop/lift" ... One day bro, one day. I've always wanted to be a honda tech, but it's hard to get in w/o ASE certification
I would have like to see a part 1 to see how you got to that stage..
Great Install video will help out with my clutch installation on '15 Si!
Thanks dude, glad i could help you out!
gonna follow this video when i do mine. thanks man!
Figured I'd show all the people who want to save some money how to do it. I appreciate it buddy!
First time watching this, Great video man
+NAUS Thanks man, appreciate that!
My clutch just went out. Glad I found this. Doesn’t look as daunting as I thought it would’ve been.
Hope it helps man. Take your time with the job 💪🏼
Gerb Productions thanks. I’ve done a couple clutches before. But on mustangs. Never done a front wheel drive before.
Fwd is not too hard... Helps if you have a hand. How’s doing a clutch in a rwd?
Gerb Productions not as bad as auto trans. But the trans is still a bitch. Heavy. Getting the bearing out was. Fun. And by fun I mean it sucked.
Fwd should be a breeze then
This video was very helpful thank you
You’re welcome 🤙🏼
Good stuff man. Very straight forward video.
Appreciate it man! Put a decent amount of time into my car and videos.
I respect that man. I have an 8th gen Si myself so this vid was definitely appreciated.
Nice dude! What year?
+Gerb Productions 2010 sedan
One of the best year 8th gens
Can i use this pressure plate for my j32a2 6 speed???
How is your exedy clutch holding up and how many miles have you put on it? How would you rate it out of 5 stars
Hey gerb I appreciate your videos they’re very helpful bro. But I have a question, do you know if you need a hondata flashpro if you switch your flywheel for another one? Thanks in advance
I appreciate all your support. For an 8th gen si, no. For a 9th gen si, yes.
Ok cool i have a 8th gen, thanks bro
Is there a certain orientation the flywheel needs to be installed? Isn’t it balanced with the crank, that’s why there’s holes on one side of the flywheel to balance it...
By you doing this, did it fix the problem with the gear not going in?
Awesome 👏🏼 man about to do that to mine real soon just mine just came in today my clutch from act clutch
How did it went?
Nice vídeo and very good explanation, i do exact things in my 13 SI but now i have another problem maybe you can help me, after the installation when i run the car the check engine ligth, VSA light and power. Steering lights comes out and then the cars starts to fail after i pass 30miles some people saids maybe is that i need a Hondata others said maybe is a sensor is not right connected?? Need help!! Thanks
Is it just an oem replacement clutch? You will need hondata if you upgrade to a stage 1 or 2 in the 9th gen si's, i believe. Could be a sensor though, jack it up and inspect it
replace flywheel bolts for sure do not reuse the old ones
I should’ve got new ones... these things will strip easily
hey bro quick question, once you put everything back, did you have to get a wheel alignment? i just swapped my oil pan and had to lower the engine subframe now i fell the car pulling a little to the right when i drive
Yes. Whenever you take you suspension components off, struts, control arms, etc, you need to get an alignment.
do you need to use a comp flywheel? i just got the stage 5 kit for my si and the pressure plate doesn't bolt up the dowel pins and bolt holes are different and i am using the OEM flywheel....guessing i need to run a comp flywheel?
You don't have to, I run an oem flywheel. Highest i'm going is a stage 1 exedy.
What size socket for pressure plate boltz
Did you install an after market flywheel? Do you need a tune for a light weight flywheel?
A shop is charging me 1500 for an exedy stage 1 clutch and flywheel install. Is that reasonable?
Action clutch is what I'm going with up and coming based in la. Check them out
Hey Gerb, thinking of buying a 07-08 civic si with around 180k on it. Any recommendations or things to look for? Really like these cars and would love one as my dd. Had experience with cars shitting the bed only a few months after i buy them, so really want to make sure that doesnt happen.
Not a bad choice! 180k is a lot, but not for a k20. These cars are proven to last a long time. I could tell you, "make sure it's not beat on," This and that.. We all know that if you buy an si used, it was most likely driven hard at one point or another. Anyways, as far as things to look for, there is probably going to be a few things. I'm not trying to make you back out from buying one, but you will most likely have to replace suspension parts, clutch, tires, motor mounts, brakes, etc. Drive it before you buy it. Make sure you get on it, through all of the gears and make sure it shifts correctly (no grinds, pop outs). I can tell you from my experience of owning an 8th gen si that the transmissions are iffy bro & so is the suspension. Amazing motor though. Hope this helps you out, you will be happy with one!
Kab that’s exactly what I have. 07 si. Replaced a motor mount. But that’s normal. Suspension is good so far but might need replaced here soon. Clutch just went out. But for a 10-year-old car it’s probably one of the best I’ve owned.
I lost the transmission in my car and I am going to have it rebuilt trying to figure out what clutch and flywheel I should go with. I was wondering what kit you used?
Exedy all day, everyday
I’m installing act streetlite flywheel and action clutch oem replacement tomorrow! Let’s see how this combo turns out heard by another si owner that it puts in work big difference so let’s see. I got the flywheel for 250$ and clutch kit for 130$ and I definitely went oem route for pilot bushing and oem throw out bearing. Just sell the ones that come with the kit for the low ahah
Hey man, I recently purchased an Si with a new clutch/flywheel did you ever end up having and shutter? I'm trying to figure out if I am still breaking it in, or is it that the mechanic maybe installed it incorrectly.
I did have a slight shutter too, still do here and there. Might be part of the break in period. Maybe you can try a clutch adjustment
@@TheGerbsteve thanks man!
What clutch kit did you get? I need one ASAP and could you possibly put a link
Exedy oem off of eBay man
Love the vids but Need help. What size are the 12 point sockets for the clutch and the flywheel? Thanks in advance
+Steve Bntz Thank you, means a lot to me! I believe they're 17mm. Are you performing this job?
Gerb Productions your welcome. Yes I'm doing the replacement my self I removed the subframe and the transmission off already. Clutch still in t tact and seen the 12 point bolts on the clutch and I know there are 12 point bolts on the fly wheel. Just need the size on them so I can purchased them. Thanks again brother you been lots of help👍👍👍
+Steve Bntz nice man, take your time with everything. Yeah, there should be six or eight 17mm bolts on the flywheel. I should've replaced mine. What do they cost? And you got it, that's what I'm here for!
Gerb Productions after I'm done I'll post vids. It would be my first vid so I'll be shy. Lol
+IAmSteve 4cyl sounds good man, let me know!
I drive 2009 Civic Si. Not sure what is wrong? When I drive normally (changing gears before 5k rpm) the gear shifts are smooth. But when I drive it hard for few minutes, gears won't engage. It feels like I'm changing gear without using the clutch. Clutch is not slipping CMC is ok. Do I need to change the clutch?
Please let me know if I can find a good mechanic in North Pittsburgh area.
Sounds to me like a simple clutch pedal adjustment should fix that.
which clutch they recommend me for my honda si coupe 2007 has 132 thousand miles
Exedy oem + oem flywheel all dayyyy. Butter smooth shifts
Little late but, I'm upgrading my flywheel and my clutch to stage 4, and I was wondering how long it would take to DIY rather than take it to a shop, because I hate taking my car to the shop?
Thanks, and please let me know.
Not my flywheel to stage 4 obviously lol. Just the clutch, and upgrading to a lightweight flywheel.
This job took me about 2 -3 days... that was taking my time and my first time doing a clutch. Dealer has this job quoted for a 14hr job where I’m from, but I think you can get it done on your own quicker than that with all the right tools, etc. I’d say anywhere from 8-14 hrs depending on experience.
is your clutch hard when you push your pedal ? cause i purchase this pro kit for my evo and im wondering if it hard or normal
+ivar oehlers Nah, it's pretty soft. It is just like normal feel of the oem clucth. I love my exedy
Gerb Productions oke men thanks!!
Was rectification made to clutch kit or only to flywheel?
Resurfacing? If so, only to the flywheel
how hard was it to re bolt tranny ive followed your videos to get mine completly apart. I didnt take off the granny tranny mount it came out with it still mounted to frame I suspose if I remove it it will be easier to jack up and slide on ? or did u just sit under it and pick it up . thanks
It was a bitch. I dropped it from underneath. Putting it back on requires two, even three people. I'm a pretty strong dude, and the tranny gave me a hard time by myself. When you go to re-bolt it, there it two alignment pins, make sure the tranny is flush with those. After that, install the bolts
Gerb Productions thanks man the videos gave me the confidence to do it. I got it back on and feels great to do this job was a big job I will deff do it again !
+Jordan Mejia Glad I could help you out bro. Mechanics all comes down to confidence! Throughout the whole job, I took my time and was pretty confident. Guess it payed off haha. Anyways, thank you for the support buddy
Hey man just wondering if you switched out the pilot bearing?
Yes... Very carefully
What what do you mean very carefully???
At what mileage you had to replace the clutch? I have a 2007 honda si with 87,xxx miles. Im just curious
126k buddy
@@TheGerbsteve im at 158. Do u think i would have a problem by now
Slitherman7 that’s a lot of miles on a stock clutch.. there very well could be.
@@TheGerbsteve im the 3rd owner and previous owner gave me all the receipts of the the repairs they made all at the dealership and i don't see anything for the clutch being replaced. I wonder if it was replaced before.
What do you recommend do first to be able to get to your clutch and flywheel?
Drop subframe and tranny
hey im midway in my clutch job starting to loosen the 8 bolts to the housing is there any easy way to get the transmission out once those are out. someone told me to try and wiggle it back and forth
+Braeden Bowen Wiggle it back and forth. Put a jack right up to it, so when you get it off, you can just drop it down. Take your time man. See if someone can give you a hand doing it.
What did you use to remove pilot bearing? Did you rent a puller?
I had a puller with claws man.. You should be able to get them at harbor freight
@@TheGerbsteve did your pressure plate look brand spankin new or did it have minor blemishes? My Exedy kit just came in today and the pp has some knicks around the edges
Hey bro why did u go for the pro kit instead of the stage 1? Or are they the same
I just love the oem, stock, clutch feel.
Gerb alright bro thanks my clutch is slipping and its time for a new clutch. You think exedy flywheel will be okay?
Sure will. I believe all exedy parts are made in Japan, so that’s quality right there. I don’t think I’d buy any other brand clutch 🤘🏼
help a shop just recently did my clutch and flywheel and now the car won’t start they ran a diagnostic and they are telling me the car might have jumped timing but they are able to turn the car on with the cam positioning sensor disconnected but as soon as they plug it in it shuts off so they went ahead and put a new sensor on and still no start just cranks need help
What kind of car do you have? I need a code number. If they just did a clutch job, i find it hard to believe that your timing could be off...
im use your vid for directions,
That's what's up! They helping you out?
Gerb Productions yea bro ima start today to remove everything ugh 😑
will a action clutch oe flywheel be compatible with a exedy oe clutch kit?
Should be compatible, but I prefer sticking with the same parts.
Lol at the word never seize never hear anti seize be called never seieze lmao
Gerb Would I need to bleed the clutch afterwards
I’d recommend it, yes
Ok Thanks bro. 🙏
So did it work
This same clutch job lasted me 70k plus miles 😎
@@TheGerbsteve yea that's good
Did that help you 3rd gear to stop grinding?
This, shift bushings, and clutch pedal adjustment
What size are the flywheel bolts?
Pretty sure 17mm
How hard is it to change the clutch and fly wheel?
For a first time, it can be tricky. All in all though, it’s not too bad. Just make sure you have all the right tools
@@TheGerbsteve mine just went on my 2009 civic si it won’t even go into gear anymore when I push the clutch pedal down lol
Same thing happened to mine when it shit out 😢
What about the pilot bearing?
+Bean I replaced that as well... kind of a pain to get out. Clutch kit should include it
How did you get the pilot bearing out? Doing mine now and unsure how to get it out
When you did the first torque on the flywheel you skipped one. Re watch it
Oh boyyyy... hoping it’s torqued right to this day 👀
Any updates on the clutch?
+Charles Conine Clutch is good, my transmission is not so good 👎🏼
I had problems with my gear box. 3rd was always rough to get in to and would sometimes slip out. I ended up changing out the fluid and replacing it with Amsoil Syncromesh. Once I did that I didn't have a single problem. The guy I sold it to hasn't had any issues either and its on around 120k miles. Hope it helps
Yo I I’m pretty sure my passenger axle was seized up and just Fuckin original af and I had to take my immediate shaft off and ended up Fuckin it up. Just had to spend 200 on an immediate shaft for my car smh
manual transmission?
Yeah, 6 speed
VacancyJB 🤦♂️
Can you please!!! Change mine
+Jessica Calderon Don't know if I have the time
Lmao, so cringey
hop off then boiii
Gerb Productions “uh yeah, i guess that came true.” Lmao, i was crackin up
