My favorite tranny removal/dissassembly. I've used it for 3 tranny dissassemblies.

Another good write-up for tranny removal.

Also Helm's has a good guie for taking apart transmissions. I even have a color copy I found at the shop I fooled around at.


(PSSSttt, BTW I found those in the 2nd thread in the forum, it's stickies and says "***Post Links to Helpful FAQs So We Can Get an Archive Going***")

 

the midddle one helps alot but is there a pic of the snap ring?


the snap ring he is talking about is it where you would look to find the pin going across to see if a d15b trans is lsd or not. in that area where the axels are inserted/?

 

Easiest way to tell if you have lsd is look for the LSD stamp on the tranny.

Or burn out and if you have two rubber tracks you have lsd.

My non-lsd y7 only leaves 1 track. Both spin a little, but the right definately spins a lot faster.

 

lol no this isnt an lsd trans

i was asking if the snap ring he refers to (the one where he says its a bitch to remove)

was located in the area you look for to see if it is lsd or not

basically where the axels are bolted in............. the diff? i belive most people call it?

 

its an L3 crx si btw cable if it matters

 

so how do i seprate it? i see the snap ringt people are talking about but it has no where to go

 

Here's my hands on experience:

Lay the tranny on it's face (input shaft facing the floor). Put your knee where the starter goes and pry the snap right apart with a pair of ring separators. While you're pulling, have a friend (or in my case, NOFX) pry the opposite side of the case with a crowbar. Have the friend keep constant firm pressure and keep prying the snap ring apart. You'll hear a pop, and the snap ring will stay open.

Twist and lift, and it's off.





Just remember, the snap ring stays in the housing, not on the countershaft.
