Is this possible? I can't get the bitch pin out for the life of me, and I'm just sick of dickin' around with it. Can I just disconnect the tranny from the engine, and remove the engine? If so, how?

 

up come on night crew

 

In my experiance its easier to remove them as a whole unit, even while doing an tranny swap i like to take the engine with the tranny out as once piece. As for the bitch pin lol im not sure what you mean if its the one on the linkage you could try using a combination of punches the best one i know is the one that is the same size as the pin, not one that goes thro the center of it cause those tend to just make it wanna stay in there more. or if all else fails take the engine out thro the bottem of the car linkage and all

 

out the bottom = not an option

 

but what pin are you refering too the one on the shift linkage?

 

yes sir

 

ok, i ran into the same proplem on my engine removal. I think i just ussed a little sledge and a punch the same size as the pin. Or was it i ussed a punch into my air chissel and went at it that way? im pretty sure i ussed the air chissel knowing me Im known for breaking bolts while putting things toghter lol.....

 

dude remove the whole thing, it will be easier. I did a longblock only swap and it took even longer

 

yea dont be lazy lol
i cant see how taking the motor off and leaving the tranny will be easier or faster. its alot easier pulling the while thing

 

Thats pretty much what weve been talking about, Hes having trouble with the pin holding the shift linkage onto the tranny itself. My sagestions were:

A- get the propper size punch for the pin. And the mini sledge

B- Air chissel with the right size punch tip

B- naturally is my personal favorite cause it gives me the opertunity to use loud machinery and break things

 

oh i see i had that problem i cut the **** off lol
i think i could have gotten it out of i jacked the car up higher i had no room to swing hard enough to puch it out. honda really needs to come up with a better way to connect the linkage maybe a screw like the bitch pin that you use a allen head to screw in now thats ingenious

 

Well i have the hoist rented..... so i think im gonna break down and rent for a second day. All I really gotta do is get that goddamned pin out, then pop the axels, then im pretty much done. Just put in my jdm d15b.

 

hoist? bah dont need one i made my own. 2 2x4s some steel cables and people

d series are pretty light wasnt too hard riping the bitch out

 

Seriously goto the hardware store, get a punch the same size as your pin and wale away at it with the hammer. Might take you a while but ill come out eventually and you wont mess anything up less you miss with the hammer ext but even then you run the bigger risk of hurting your self then anything else.

Hammer is my favorite tool in my tool box

 

lol 2x4's? Omg that is just death and broken car/engine BEGGING to happen!!! did you have the nice strobe light on it too to help the rescue workers find you?
lol sorry but that is well damn id never trust that. less your talking about the ones going acrose the span of your garage then thats perfectly fine

 

i even used it to move my new motor around to align the mounts hahahah

 

lol ok i missed the pic dident load for whatever reason, Thats not toooo bad i quess but thats like ummmm work and me and work dont really get along to well Son of a bitch!

 

hahahaha i saw that ****** pin move! a/c compressor bolt is good for a start..... gonna run and get an 8mm non tapered punch tomorrow

hammer that **** out!

 

lol told you right tool for the right job, Normally includes an oversize Hammer and proper tool to help the hammer direct the blunt of its force to the intended area Air chissels are better because they require less effort to move

 

Agreed that the bitch pin is a REAL bitch, I know what your talkin about man, friend had the same problem.

 

take out that crank pulley and you should be fine

 

just do it the right way and don't cut corrners, just take the whole fN thing out as one, I know you don't want to take out the axles but your wasting more time just trying to take it out alone, then taking out the whole thing, it's way ezer, I do a swap in 1:30 buy my self. out in and down the street

 

agree with ^

 

You would have to be crazy to try and remove the long block from the tranny inside your engine bay. You probably never changed a clutch before, if you did you would never even think about doing it the way you described.
