Hey Everyone,

I’m gearing up to pull the auto trans on my 01 Accord Sedan 2.3L(F23 motor) to replace the rear main seal. This will be my first time tackling a transmission pull on a 6th gen, and I’ll be working solo on jack stands in a small single car garage space.

I’ve already gone through old forum threads and watched a handful of videos, but I know nothing beats first-hand experience. For those of you who’ve been down this road, what are the tips, tricks, or hard-earned lessons you’d pass along? Anything that can save time, prevent headaches, or make the whole process smoother would be a huge help.


I’m looking forward to hearing from the veterans here and learning from your experience.
