do I have to remove the Drivers side axle to remove the transmission??? would it be easyer to leave the Shiftlinkage atached to the trans????

This is my first time workin on a honda, Ive done a Trans swap on my Talon, and I have all the tools to do the work.

 

Easiest way is to pay someone to do it.

There is a thread in the archives by user BauleyCivic titled DIY How to: Take off transmission and inspect Input Shaft Bearing with 23 steps to remove the thing. I dunno why I can't find it today but it should be there

 

pull the whole motor is easiest. three of the 4 mounts are on the tranny, which means the motor will be dangling around in there. there is very little room between the frame rails to seperate tranny without having engine hang way down. just pull it. when on the hoist, let tranny side dip lower and remove left transmission mount completely or it will be a tighter squeeze.

for shift linkage, push back rubber boot, pop off half circle steel clip. there will be a vertical crush dowel going through the joint, pop it out with a flat ended punch and yank shift rod off.

AHHHH, thats what sounded the easyest, BUT I dont have a Cherry picker, and I kinda dont wana get one. I didnt need one to do the trans swap on the talon, but im sure it would have been a billion times easyer. That was part of my problem on the talon, the frame rail.

 

I'll say leave the motor in, leave the shift linkage on, remove battery tray, take off the axles, disconnect the clutch and speedo, unbolt it and catch.

don't forget to put a jack under the motor for support..

 

No sense of adventure...

Obviously, there are a couple things missing there, but you get the idea.

 

I'm trying to replace my transmission as well did anyone find that DIY guide, heh I need it pretty bad.

 

That was a tough search with the user name. Here you go.
