How much interest is there in a BMXA rebuild guide? I am in the process of getting ready to rebuild mine.... can take pictures and put it together if there is enough interest. By the way, new member but a long time lurker.

 

As many people are.

I wouldn't consider a lack of replies as a lack of interest. If you're up for it, I'm certain a lot of people will appreciate the DIY!!

 

im interested and expect to have to rebuild my BMXA due to some bad bearings that are growling

 

yes I'm interested due to some bad bearings in my bmxa transmission sorry if this is redundant

 

Did this ever get done? I'm really interested.

 

Not yet waiting for my brother's shop to clear out will probably get to it this summer sometime

 

Good luck wth yours!

 

I'm going to pull the motor and transmission this weekend. Motor needs to be replaced, bought the car for cheap. So figured I get into the transmission and rebuild it as the car has 200K. Will swap the motor with a JDM I can get those for around 550.00~600.00 not worth rebuild the motor for the cost of the swap. I did read up on the process and I have the official Honda Manual watched a couple videos of the tear down one is really detailed. A little bummed the guy didn't do a rebuild video of the BMXA. He has some rebuild videos of other Honda transmissions. It looks pretty straight forward and no real special tools except of the P/N: 07GABPF50101 main shaft holder not sure exactly how that comes in to play ( Looks to hold the main shaft upright on dissemble and reassemble as far as I can tell from the manual.

 

Instead of the $70 mainshaft holder, I used a 22mm box end wrench, then packed the groves with finish nails. I used 2 different sizes of finish nails, some I had to gently tap in with a nail set and hammer. Once the wrench was firmly attached (no wobble) and turned the shaft, I then put a small bolt in one of the bellhousing holes to keep the wrench from turning. For me (SDMA trans) the mainshaft nut was a left handed thread, so I turned clockwise to loosen it. Worked great and was pretty quick.
