Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2005Can clutch be changed from above or below?
94 civic 1.5L lx 5 speed - when I change the clutch - do I need a hoist to remove tranny from above or a floor jack type cradle to remove tranny from below - doing the job this weekend in my driveway. special tools - just an alignement dowel tool? When we did my 87 prelude, we used a hoist to raise the trannie and get it clear, but then it has to come out the bottom. i lowered it onto my buddy's chest, and he rolled out with it on the creeper. its only about 120lbs or so, its manageable. if you plan to take off the flywheel to machine (highly recommended), make sure to have a set of 16 point sockets handy. Regular 6 sided sockets will strip those bolts. Don't forget to replace your release bearing, as well as the pilot bearing if your car has one (the prelude did not have a pilot bearing, just a tapered output shaft on the engine) Terry in Winnipeg >94 civic 1.5L lx 5 speed - when I change the clutch - do I need a hoist to >remove tranny from above or a floor jack type cradle to remove tranny from >below - doing the job this weekend in my driveway. > >special tools - just an alignement dowel tool? oops i meant 12 point sockets.... >When we did my 87 prelude, we used a hoist to raise the trannie and get it >clear, but then it has to come out the bottom. i lowered it onto my buddy's [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >>special tools - just an alignement dowel tool? > oops i meant 12 point sockets.... I was always under the impression that six sided sockets were better for high torque/stripping prone applications? But these bolts are actually 12 sided.... Put a 6 sided socket on them and they would round out pretty quick.... >> oops i meant 12 point sockets.... > >I was always under the impression that six sided sockets were better for >high torque/stripping prone applications? > But these bolts are actually 12 sided....

Put a 6 sided socket on them and > they would round out pretty quick.... they the ones that look like a 12-pointed star? Yup. They were like that on the 87 'lude, as well as my 98 civic. >> But these bolts are actually 12 sided....

We did it without air, but it was a bitch. If you have access to impact and air, I would go for that. >are the bolts hard to break free or would I need air tools? >my local parts store said they could resurface the flyweek in 45 min for I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >>> >>>special tools - just an alignement dowel tool? >We did it without air, but it was a bitch.
