I was just looking at a car and it needs a throwout bearing, the car has a d16a6, how long would it take to do the throwout bearing

Im going to look at the car tommorow, What are some things that break on EFs that i should look for?

Where do they normally rust besides the quarters?

 

probably about 4-5 hours considering that you have to remove the tranny to do it.

 

throwout bearing....give yourself all day to do it.

you should seriously consider a new clutch while you're at it.

as for rust, look along the windshield (A-pillars), and back by the spare tire

 

you doing this yourself? in your backyard?

 

Yea im gonna do it myself, its gonna be in my driveway, or this kids driveway.. The motor the car has has 12000 miles on it, yes twelve thousand...

so i was thinkin maybe boostin it, but i dono, what clutch do u reccomend, ill probably get a new flywheel too

 

uhh....how did you diagnose that the bearing is bad?

but anyway you're gonna needs LOTS of room and jacks to get it to clear the transmission...

 

Well the car is for sale, and i was looking at it, and the kid said its going to need replacing soon because it sounds like its going...

Unless that sound could be somthing else?

 

do some research in the EF forum....maybe search 'bearing noise' or just 'bearing'....

people have explained which bearings make sounds at which times (& under what conditions etc). i can't remember which is which.

i would be concerned that it might be an input shaft bearing, or something else INSIDE the transmission, that would be much more difficult & time consuming to replace.
