i just bought a 1991 civic with the 4 speed. want to swap cars (better body) how long would it take for me to drop the 4 speed and the 5 speed and then put the 5 speed back in the other car?

 

Depends on how good you are. I would say 1.5-2 hours but it depends on lifts, tools, if you have to move the cars, people helping, blaa blaa blaa

 

30 mins to drop tranny........... thats with air tools

2 hrs for complete swap of tranny

 

no air tools prob one friend and just a floor ground in my driveway.i've heard there not that heavy.

 

o they aren't heavy at all, you could pick one up easily, but its just getting it out is a little pain, you have to wiggle it around and work with, its more or less just pain in the *** to take it out, and putting it back is the same.

if its your first time pulling a trannny..just be patient and stock up on some beer and you'll be set

 

my gf wants me to swaps motor instead. of tanny she wants to keep the one on the on now on the road. how long would it take to do a swap same motor and if anyone from upstate ny know what they are doing please im me

 

took me 30 minutes to drop it and about 45 to put it back in... by myself

 

Well after I paid and found "she" had a ***** it was one punch she dropped.

Around 2 hours myself but it'll vary greatly on if its your first time doing so how much help you have and the tools you have.

 

Tme depends on skills and tools. It may take one person an hour and the next man 2 days...just all depends.
I'd say on the avg. 1-3 hours.

 

Our buddies last year ice racing changed their trans in less than 30 minutes (87 CRX si.) That was on the ice, on their back in cloudy conditions. Practice makes perfect.

 

anyone from upstate new york?
i could use some help prob

I'll time myself this eve.

So far about 45 minutes to jack the car up and take off everything that needs to come off before engine and tranny get supported. all thats left is ball joints axles, tranny bolts and mounts.

Then I have to replace the following seals: oil pan, main and both axle seals. install a new clutch, change the oil and figure out a way to get off this stripped dizzy bolt to replace it with a new one.

oh and a new axle clamp.

 

keep me in time... um you droping out the bottom or using a hoist?

 

30 minutes @ home.. Here @ work probably like 20minutes..

 

out the top or under the bottom

 

If you haven't done it before, take the average of whatever H-T says....then multiply by 3
