Hey guy, I was wondering what would be the easyest way to repace my clutch in the civic? Pull the motor and tranny, or drop the tranny. I also plan on replacing the rings and timing belt, but not completly postive on both of them yet.

 

with 2 guys its easier to drop the tranny.. if ur solo it will b easier to line it back up(tranny/motor) when it is all out .

 

Thanks, I will be doing it solo, so I will most likley pull the motor out. How long dose it usually take?

 

i dont know how much experience u have but once the motor is out on the floor or whatever i would say 30 mins to take it apart change. and put it back together . then put motor back in.

 

You don't have to pull the motor to install a clutch.

 

Witch is easyer though, take the motor out or drop the tranny. I'm looking for the easyest way to do this. Any comments are welcome.

i dropped the tranny and imho it was a lot easier than pulling the motor, but then again i had a few freinds to help line it back up, i dont think lining i tback up can be done wiht one person, or it would be reali hard

 

Definitely if your doing this by yourself you need to pull the motor... it would be really hard to line up the tranny by yourself.. good luck

 

Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to pull it tommaro after I get off. Then I have the whole weekend.
