Hi folks, I'm new here and mostly used to dealing with VWs so give me a chance ......

I said I'd swap the auto transmission on a friends car for him, now I've done a good few swaps on other old wrecks but is there any tips or tricks I should know about this one?

Does the motor have to come out? (4 cyl 2.2 btw)
Is there a bentley or haynes that covers it for torque settings etc.?
Any special tools I'd have to make/buy?

Cheers!

 

Helms manual would be the best...motor doesn't have to come out

 

First-time trans swap on an Accord? At home? Ouch...That's a weekend worth of work.


There's nothing special about it. If you've pulled one FWD trans, you've pulled them all. No need to remove the engine if you drop the transmision out the bottom like you're supposed to.

 

Cheers! I'll try and get my filthy mits on one of them. If the motor stays in then its all pretty simple then....

Thanks for the help.
