is it possible to remove the crx tranny out and swap it with another without taking the motor out?

good luck it sucks cus i did it by myself

Yeah its possible and I agree with the other guys it sucks. Your going to have to take off the front, rear and the passenger side engine mounts also. I just did mine about two days ago, but just make sure the new tranny is the right series. I switched in a 91 si tranny into my 90 HF.

Yeah its tight, but I still kept the HF axles on it. Do you think I should change the axles to the SI ones?

 

We did it when I put a new clutch in my CRX very tight and took about 4 hours (unexperienced on hondas)

If you do you will need the hub and spindle assembly from a Dx or Si

 

Alright thanks, also I believe the si tranny will go into a ZC motor?

yea ... of course

 

it takes about 4 hours when 1st doin it . 2 hours for the experienced./

 

in a decent shop with the car on 4 jack stands and a air tools (knowing what your doing)5-6 hours in and out is what it takes me

 

did mine in about 2 1/2 hours at a shop with a lift and the most awesomest impact gun. had a lift too that helped alot.

 

whats the hardest thing when you did the tranny swap?

 

hardest thing would be lining it back up with the shaft and dowel pins

 

Its not that hard, pull the axls, remove some bolts and drop the tranny out. If you guys want to talk about a pain in the a$$, try dropping an auto tranny out the bottom. I will never have to do that again.

i'll give a hell yeah to that...big pain in the ***. sometimes that takes longer than taking the tranny out to start with.

 

it lined up at my first time but like i said its so much easier with a lift. did a b and a D tranny with a lift and one B without and i almost gave up when i did it without the lift. as stated nothing was hard to do when i had the lift. the hardest was getting that back starter bolt for me off

 

If you cant get a lift, get a second set of hands for putting the tranny in. I had to lift mine in from the top while working a floor jack underneath the tranny with my foot to get it in.

 

lol..k thanks guys...i know it'll be a bitch.
