Just wanted to say thank you very much for taking the time to supply this DIY. I always enjoy tearing the car apart when I have a problem and doing things myself but never thought I would be able to do a clutch job. Not only did you make it easy but I was able to do it in a cast b/c of a broken thumb. I had to get some help to take the tranny off and back on but other than that did it myself in like a day and half. The drive when it was all finished was glorious! Thanks again!

Great instructions on the clutch replacement. This info was far better than a Haynes or Chilton manual. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks again, Redshank

Nice! The read the service manual on changing the the clutch and it seem similar the way you did it. I have never remove a fly wheel in my life but i will since i just brought my first HOnda civic 92 project.

I'm pretty noob at this but I will be giving it a try soon. I just have a few questions: After I take out the tranny mounts and clutch housing, do I still need to have the jack support the engine/transmission, or is it safe to remove the jack and let the engine sit on its mounts? Also, why is it necessary to remove the driver side axle? Thanks!

I would keep the jack there to keep the motor from to much stress on the other mounts. Doesn't hurt it to be there.
For the dirver side axle I don't believe that the tranny and housing will disengage without it removed.

Curious to know about the fork you use to release the ball joint. Did you damage the ball joint after using it? I have the fork but i try using it and the ball joint did came loose. Do i suppose to keep hammering down, side way or something??

ANyway, I don't recommend using your the pickle fork because it will do alots of damage and work. Get those ball separator. It look like clamp and screw to separator the lower arm..
