Has anyone done it? I've rebuilt plenty of transmissions but never a honda transaxle. Anything I should look out for? Any write up anywhere? I start tomorrow so any info would be appreciated

 

it would help if you said if it's a 5MT or 4AT and I'm pretty sure it's a d-series 4AT right ? if so just buy a new one it will be cheaper in parts alone trust me lol.

 

^^That.

 

cheaper? parts cost me 160 plus fluid. new would be well over 1800 lol. i paid 28 for a brand new TC. just looking for the facts guys. thanks tho. pretty much just looking for torque specs. anyone have a haynes/chilton manual for a 98 civic?

 

"new" aka "used" it's safe to say the no one here knows what trans a b4ra came from just helps ppl help you if you say

 

From what I remember you need a special puller (Honda service tool) to remove a main or countershaft bearing to get the main case off. You also need a special service tool to take the clutch packs apart (this one is easy enough to make)

 

He said B4RA. That's a 4AT, so he did say what kind of transmission it was. Even better, he was specific.

Yes and yes. The standard books also don't cover AT overhauling. It's also such an in-depth process that I honestly wouldn't trust any internet write-up for it.

OP, Google is your friend - you can easily find the Factory Service Manual (FSM) for your car and download it.

 

Well I don't have all the d-series trans memorised in my head I'll bet you googled it just like I did afterwards. As I told some other kid, the posting rules do state "list the basic car info related to issue" not every one knows the codes/jdm talk in some cases. Most of my knowledge lies with 3rd gen integra's and RSX's and B and K series. I do however have a stock civic dx and they are similar to the integra's as you know I'm just not familiar with d-series trans as there are SO many.

 

People that have rebuilt a b4ra know what a b4ra. Those were the people I was looking for. Talked with the tranny guy at my local honda dealership. Hooked me up with the "special" honda tool I needed. And as far as the clutches its a universal tool as far as auto clutches go

 

these videos for bmxa are pretty good. he goes into some pretty deep s . polishing the valve bores, aftermarket strainers and something about a poorly designed valve that may restrict the flow of ATF for lubrication to the torque converter.

How do you even know what is wrong with it? have you adequately diagnosed it with a line and clutch test port pressure test procedure?

 

Well that was easy. Took me 20 mins less than my average time on a 4l60

 

so it works? what was wrong with it ?

 

so it works? what was wrong with it ?

 

Yep. Worn clutches and clogged filter. Did a full rebuild with updates

 

Anybody know of good walk-through for MAXA/BAXA?

 

Did you even bother to read the thread?

 

Yeah, thanks, I meant like the video links I posted. Those are excellent non-manufacturer working guides. Does anyone know of some good alternative materials for MAXA/BAXA?
