A couple months back I posted looking for help with my auto trans on the 92 LX just spewing fluid and couldn't find the cause. A few of you gave some great advice and suggested it was likely an O-ring on the front cover, or a pressure port. Once I got it on the hoist and took it all apart it turns out the front cover was corroded out. Honda had a great idea of putting a protective cover over the front cover to prevent rocks and debris causing any damage. However because of Canadian winters and salt/sand, my constant driving to the camp over dirt roads, etc there was a lot of build up under the plate.
I got the front cover off with a lot of prying the tranny down(even after removing all but one engine mount) we got the cover swapped and it works fine. I would like to know however, how to get this front cover off without needing to do some serious prying. My pops is 260lbs and it was all he could do to keep enough pressure on a 4 foot, 1"inch thick straight bar. I thought for sure something would give and break but nothing! I'm wondering if this ever arises again if it would be easier to remove the tranny and replace the cover?
Cheers, and once again, thank you all for your help and the schematics.
