Compared to the size of an American V-8 tranny like the TH-700R and AOD, this tranny looks diminutive. I know those two trannies weigh around 180-190 lbs each, so I am guessing the BX7A weighs around 125-130 lbs, separate of the engine? Can it be lifted by one person who is in reasonable shape?

 

I lifted the automatic out of my 5th gen Automatic Accord (F22B1). I'm a fairly fit 17y/o.

 

My aut0 tranny was soo heavy, that I dropped it down, and pushed it out of the way with legs. Manual tranny was light enough to just pick it up, and put it right on.

 

Torque converter is what will make it lopsided, remove it and the trans is fairly easy to manhandle. As for removal/installation I would reccomend the Harbor Freight mechanical transmission jack, with a coupon and when it's on sale you can get it for ~$50, well worth the price.
