I've done swaps from b series d series & h. But since my bros crv is automatic (2wd) and I've never changed out an auto before. I know the basics like the 17mm bolts & removing axles & sensors but what else is there? I don't wanna go wrong here I wanna do it right the 1st time & also, is there some kind of shifter bracket or something?

It's pretty similar to a manual, just remember to disconnect the shift cable (goes in the back of the tranny) and remember to remove the bolts connecting the flexplate to the torque converter.

There u go. Exactly the info I was looking for thank u!

^^^what he said...

youll see the cable when you get under the car...i think youll have to take 2 12 or 14mm bolts off that holds the cover where the cable is mounted, then a 10mm bolt that holds the cable on the shift rod

all you have to do is take that cover off (bottom part of the tranny/block) then youll see the flexplate(flywheel) 10mm bolts.. just use a socket (19mm i think) to turn the motor, so you can get into all the bolts..

Soi have to unbolt the flexplate before removing the trans?

rudyndrew

I just bought the trans and it came with the converter. Here's the the thing my bro drives it like a jackass! He fllors it & let's off the throttle quick. So now it doesn't shift into 2nd or 3rd. He's gotta drop it into 1st then he slaps it back into drive. Is it the trans that's done for sure? No matter what we got another 1 so either way I'm taking it off & swapping it.

rudyndrew

heres the trans and what is that cut cable wire on the 2nd pic?

ARMED

yup...you can use the original one, while youre at it, id get new seals for the axles..

rudyndrew

Axle seals look good just a lil dirty & how can I remove that old ripped cable wire? Pull it with plies or something?

ARMED

theres like 2 bolts that hold the bracket..

12mm i think...

you can see 1 of the bolt right there

rudyndrew

I see them. Well I'm going to do this over the wknd cause my bro needs his crv for work. Btw urs is really clean armed. I own an 06 midnight blue (looks black) crv realtime awd. Love how how its all 1 color just slapped a system in it with h.i.d's. Ill do a lil thread with pics of it soon haha.

I'm having problems getting it to go back in parking. I slapped the trans on and I think its the shifter cable sensor on the other side of the trans that seems to be the problem. It looks like I have to adjust it. I keep moving it around but no luck. It goes into drive but when I try putting it in park it get stuck it won't go up.

i have a 2001 Honda CR-V ex and I'm about to replace the transmission. Does anyone know where a good guide or book is to follow?

Yes, the Honda Factory Service Manual (FSM) for the CRV. You can find them on eBay or even for free in PDF format if you search around. I would provide a link but it's forbidden here.
