is it easier to remove the transmision from the bottom or top of the car on a automatic 94 honda accord?

 

Bottom for sure out top I dont think is possible

 

Out the bottom is the only way. Just make sure you have 2 jacks available. Leave the drivers side engine mount attached. You may need to remove the crossmember.

 

I heard some people say that its easier to remove it from the top cause u dont have to remove so much parts for clearence. iim thinkn of takn it out from the bottom...what mounts do i have to remove other than the transmission mount????...btw im doing this on the floor no hoist unfortunatly.

 

Again, since this is identical to your other thread. BUY A HELMS

 

I went to helms website but they didnt have anything on transmission removal or anything mechanical for the matter just vague topics.

 

all info on the car is all included in that manual from engine to tranny

 

You are really going to say that? I did not pull that suggestion out of my ***. The Helms manual is essentially identical to what a Honda technician uses and has every little detail in troubleshooting, repair, maintenance, etc including pictures.

The only way you can remove the transmission from the top is with the engine attached.

 

all trannys ive removed was from the bottom. unbolt from block and have jack stands under it with front end jacked up

 

Thanks guys for the help!!

 

HEY. I took my trans out today at work. Replacing it with a junkyard POS. No choice. Car won't move!

Hint. Let the engine rest on the forward facing brace under the engine. The engine drops about an inch. Nice design by Honda. Remove the passenger radius rod. No choice. Must do. Otherwise, straight forward transmission removal.

 

When u say bottom brace r u talkn about the crossmember? And when u say passenger rod r u talkn about the axle?

 

No. I'm talking about the brace that runs paralell with the exuaust system. The black rolled sheet metal brace that runs front to back under the oil pan.

And, I'm talking about the radius rod. The thick piece of metal rod that goes from the lower control arm on the passenger side to the front of the subframe. It's in the way of the transmission and is easy to identify. Take those out and you're good to go.

Also, note that the rear engine mount bracket does not need to be unbolted from the engine. It looks like it attaches to the trans but doesn't. Also, the front engine mount bracket doesn't need to be removed as it only attaches to the engine.

I had my trans replaced in about 5 hours total.

 

O ok i get it thanks man appreciate the help

 

Bottom like everyone said. Pulling it out the top is just suicidal; J/K. Lol. Good Luck man.

 

Also, the rear engine mount bracket only needs to be unbolted from the transmission. It looks like it will be in the way but it won't.

 

If you are dropping the transmission only, then from the bottom is the only way to go. Removing the p/s radius bar will give you some room. You will have to use a jack to support the engine as it will be necessary to loosen engine maounts especially removing the front mount to allow the engine to drop down low enough to get the trans out.

TIP: use two layers of cardboard to ease sliding it out from under the car. Sometimes if your car has an extra lip on it, you may need to remove that.


Unless you want to pull the whole thing engine and tranny out the top with a cherry picker, which can sometimes be easier especially when trying to mate them back together to reinstall.

 

LOL! @ remove tranny from the top! Thanks for the laugh. That made my day!
