Ive read online somewhere where someone was working on his car and was talking about engine alignment for correct clutch function. I can't find anything so far regarding Honda accords (mines a 2000 2.4L vtec manual lx), but I figured if anyone knew whether or not it's a thing for hondas it would be someone here. If it is a thing that I need to do after changing out my toasted clutch, where would I adjust such a thing, just the engine mounts? Thanks in advance..

 

Never heard of it for B or D series cars. I think it's nonsense.

 

It's a thing if you didn't reinstall the alignment dowels that locate the transmission to the engine.

 

It is also a thing if you don't use the clutch alignment tool to get that clutch in there properly!

 

But most if not all of these trans won't even bolt on unless it is lined up. Engineers pretty much dummy proofed it.

 

This was my first thought too, but then the "what if' thoughts started.

Thanks for the answers, much appreciated.

 

I have seen mechanics do some truly crazy things. Don't put it past them! lol

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Hmm. Well, apparently it is a thing. Considering the transmission bolts on one way (dummy proof as mentioned above), I'll be interested to find out how this alignment happens.

 

The only way to cause tranny mis- alignment would be NOT putting the dowels in then bolting the transmission on.
