Just registered to this board and got great response to my axle shaft dilema. Solved that problem.
I just bought this 1995 Civic CX (1.5 motor, manual trans, no a/c, no abs) for my son from my friend who was the original owner. It has 174K (mostly highway) on the orginal clutch and the belt was last changed at 100K. I plan to do both in the next month or so. How difficult are these jobs on this car? I intend to replace the water pump when I do the belt. Thanks

 

it all depends on your mechanical skillz .. its hard to tell some how hard it would be.. have you ever done a T-belt job or clutch on anything?

 

They really aren't terribly difficult if you're handy with tools, but I'd suggest picking up a repair manual and also having someone there as a helper (especially for the clutch).

 

well to alot of people who have done them quit a bit, very easy. Use the Search..theres gotta be tons of writeups on this! good luck

they really aren't that difficult at all, hardest part of both will be stabbing the tranny back in, deffinetly put a pilot bearing in as well. located in the flywheel.

 

My mechanical skill level is good. I'm well equiped tool-wise. I've done T-belts and I rebuilt engines (auto & marine outboards).
Unfamilar with Honda Civic's so I figured I'd ask. Please let me know of any links with info & pics on either of these projects. Thanks
