Hi, I was trying replace my '96 accord 4cyl non-VTEC transmission but I got stuck at very first step, that is to remove the drive plate cover . I couldn't pull it out after remove all the bolts(3) because there's not much room for it to move freely. It's being held back by the way the cover goes onto the transmission. Without getting this thing out, I cannot access to the driveplate bolts inside to get the transmission detach from the engine.

Thanks.

What year, trim and engine do you have?

 

Im assuming it is a 94-97 considering he said 5th gen..

If its a 4 cylinder? If so there are a few hard to see/reach bolts. Mainly by the rear motor mount. Make shure you have the tranny mount all the way out or you wont be able to get enough play. Just rember to take you time and dont get to frustraded.

I thought the very first step was lifting the car up?

ohh ok...I'm just afraid the transmission won't move if the driveplate bolts are still intact with the flywheel. I have 3 days to work on it so no rush. :D

Thanks.
