Hi all,

I think I will attempt to replace my clutch on my 98 Civic with D16Y8 this summer. I have the service manual but could someone tell me in simple terms what needs to come out and in which order, what tools are required and any special tips or shortcuts.

Thx

 

errr...i cant recall the entire installation unless i redid it and wrote it as i was doing it...anyways i think i removed the axles took out the tranny mounts to get to the tranny...opened up the tramission repalced cluth...put the tranny back on...and err...i think somewhere along the line i bled the transmission fluid.... my explantion wasnt too helpful wasnt it?

i think someone can explain it a lot better than me

 

how you bleed the trannny fliud?

 

You don't bleed the tranny. :rofl:

If you take the tranny out (which you will with a clutch replacement), you would do well to drain the fluid and replace it.

I will be doing a clutch/flywheel on a '99 EX on Sat. If I quit being lazy about it I'll do a DIY on it.

 

And take some pictures if you can. That would really help out.

 

My DIYs always come with pics.

 

I was going to attempt to come up with a list and order of instructions but if WCS is gonna do it, I'll pass. As for a speical tip/shortcut, when you need to remove your axles, try just undoing the upper control arm bolts to the engine bay. That supposedly saves time compared to trying to get those ball joints seperated. I haven't used this method yet but 2 people I know have done it with luck.

That would be mine.....

He is not lazy with the pics, we usually both just jump in and forget to take pics the every time time we should and then we realize it and go hshit:

 

Would I need an alignment after undoing the control arms? How about when using the standard method (ball joints)?

 

Do you have other DYI's??
