    haha, if it is honestly bolt off disconnect some wires, connect some wires, bolt on. i think i can do it. jack the car up about 3 feet, stick in the jack stands and go at it.

    what size mm are the bolts on the tranny? 10mm?

    you dont have to raise the car 3 feet in the air, i dont think they make jacks that high anyways. just needs to be raise maybe 12 inches.

    10 mm bolts are for stuff like the fenders.

    the tranny uses 17mm bolts.

    step 1: locate the tranny :lol: and convince yourself its small, lolz.

    "The tranny is only about 16" high, so you don't need to be really high. And you can pick up the tranny with one hand and carry it like a suitcase."

    i assumed 3 feet since he said 16" and my neighbor has a jack for a truck that i'd have to put under my car after i already used the stock honda jack.

    there are 12 inches in a foot, so 16 inches would be 1 foot 4 inches :P

    36 inches in 3 feet... haha the entire front end of the car isnt even 3 feet high :lol:

    would i need to remove anything else to pull the tranny?

    you'll have to drain the fluid then remove the passenger side axle. then unbolt all the bolts along that connect the tranny to the engine block. there are maybe 10-15. then disconnect the pass. side motor mount, the rear engine mount as well as the front. basically only leaving the drivers side engine mount connected. after this the tranny will slide off. oh, dont forget to first disconnect all electrical plugs and basically anything that connects to the tranny... like linkages, etc.

    ;) pretty much thats all. and also anything else in your way. rofl.

    haha, don't be cruel dude!

    how long should this take ME?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert

    i have good work ethetic, and i'm dedicated to what im doing. haha.

    plus i have my big muscled room mate to help me. he has a brain of dirt and girls but he can probably pick the car up, so most likely i wont need a jack. :lol:

    but on a real note, i would be working on it until the job is done, i wouldnt stop for this and that etc. i don't see unbolting and disconnecting something took you 12 hours? or is it the putting it back in part thats hard to do?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    it was everything man, taking out the axle, disconnecting the crap, undoing shift linkage, then sliding off the tranny.... the hardest part was putting the tranny back by myself because my friend just watched me do it.... took like 2 hours just to align the efkin thing into the crankcase slpline thingies... anyways, i was a bigger n00b then but its still work.

    btw, i was working on a M/T
