XLNT write up my man. My first time ever even removing a wheel on a Honda was in accordance with this DIY. Far better than the maintenance manual and should provide all the know how for anyone with some prior experience. Hardest part was holding the flywheel from turning while removing its bolts. I found that if you reinsert some of the tranny to engine bolts(forward side) back into their threading you may use them as leverage points for a crowbar to rest on as you hold it in the teeth of the flywheel.
My hitch was getting my driver side transaxle properly inserted into the tranny. It left a 1 or 2 mm gap between the two where I can see the oil seal on the tranny. It now leaks a little oil. I havnt figured this one out yet but it may be that I need new clips that fit at the end of the splines that go into the tranny. A warning to all, do not damage the rubber boot on the transaxle as you reinsert it back into the tranny, it will spin all of its grease out and ruin your day.
