i did my integra and civic clutch within a week. not that bad. hardest part was i was doing it alone so i had to use my foot to jack the tranny up and down and use my hands to he man the tranny on.

5/20/2006 5:47:28 PM

Those aren't bad at all. This damn MR2 is a plumbing nightmare. I'm having to drain the cooling system to get the water neck and hoses out of the way to get to the top of the tranny.

Honda's only wish they could be this difficult.

my jetta was pretty easy, only real pains in the ass were getting the axle lined back up when putting the trans back in(it was either work around it or remove it), and learning which way to tilt and twist the sumbitch to get in around the subframe...

5/20/2006 7:06:10 PM

Transmission is huge. I'm pretty sure this is the same box as in V6 Camry's and whatnot. Talk about tight.

It might have been easier to drop the whole engine/tranny combo.

And my hands are on fire from all the crawfish I ate for dinner.

Oh...and I am goddam worn out.

And not done yet.

Dammit.

Jeepman...get ready to skin some knuckles.

i'm down man. free all tomorrow. lemme know if you need a hand

5/21/2006 12:44:02 AM

And I'm out. Worn down to the rivets. No scoring the flywheel, though. I dressed that bitch up with some 80 grit. But I left the new rear main seal in my truck...which I left across town when I picked up a Maxima that I'm working on.

im gonna have to do it on my gti.. i hear the tranny weights 130#.. ugh...

5/21/2006 5:52:41 PM

yea i changed the vette's again last week...i guess having the tranny in the rear makes it a little easier for me, less weight to mess with when getting things back together around the motor

anyways, yeah, that sucks

5/21/2006 6:08:48 PM

easiest ever is toyota trucks, 22r, 22re, 22ret

5/21/2006 7:43:05 PM

aircooled VW

5/21/2006 7:50:20 PM

944 turbo clutch = teh bitch

5/21/2006 8:57:39 PM

actually it took me two days the first time i was putting this shit back together to get the torque tube input shaft thru the clutch and shit...goes a lot easier when you remember to connect the slave cylinder hydraulics so you aren't trying to pick the damn pressure plate up

can't be worse than an AWD car

5/21/2006 11:48:41 PM

If it's a Mitsu AWD, then it's cake compared to a Scooby.

had tranny problems with an 89 camry V6 a few years back. Had to take the tranny out like 3 times in a week's time. By the 3rd time, me and my neighbor were down to like 45 minutes to pull that bitch out. Had to take half the engine bay apart to get it to slide out and off the engine.

Dude...I'm still at the office. Are you still at the office?

I didn't even get up today until 2:30. Damn migraine. It still wants to come back.

5/23/2006 8:10:29 PM

i'm at my office NOW

5/24/2006 4:17:06 PM

^^^^^^ AWD cars I've worked on aren't shit..after you drop the transfer case it's a normal job..not too damn hard.

5/24/2006 5:29:30 PM

BINGO. And dropping the transfer case is a 15 minute job tops.

5/24/2006 5:55:49 PM

exactly, hell it was easier to pull the whole engine/tranny together out of the 3000GT i had than seperate. just dropped the downpipe and transfer case and the whole damn thing just came right out
