i have a new stage three clutch and 8.4lb flywheel, what is the best why to put it in and what will i need to do so? i have a 92 civic si D16Z6.

 

have you ever messed with a tranny before?

 

nope not at all, i have a book, i'm just not sure how,

 

If you feel comfortable taking your tranny out, then you should be alright if you have the tools you need.

 

what tool must i have to do the job, i don't want to start it and not have a tool to finish the job. can anyone tell me everything i'll need.

 

jack, stands, rachet, metric sockets, impact gun (helps with axle nuts), clutch alignment tool,

How to take off the transmission (copied mostly from Helms manual):
1. Disconnect battery from negative terminal.
2. Remove air intake.
3. Disconnect starter cables and transmission ground wire.
4. Remove the engine wire harness clamp.
5. Disconnect the back-up light switch and speed sensor connectors.
6. Remove clutch pipe bracket and slave cylinder
Note: Do not operate clutch pedal once the slave cylinder has been removed
7. Loosen the lugnuts on the two front wheels.
8. Jack front end of car up. Make sure it is properly supported (Jackstands work well)
9. Remove front wheels.
10. Remove the transmission housing bolts (There are 9, 4 at the top, 5 on the bottom)
11. Drain manual transmission fluid.
12. Remove the axles. You must unbolt the fork at the wheel hub, there are 3 bolts for each fork, and then pull the hub (with axle still attached) outwards so that the axles come out of the transmission.
13. Unbolt catalytic converter from header.
14. Remove the shift linkage (both bars)
15. Remove the front stopper bracket (3 bolts)
16. Disconnect vehicle speed sensor
17. Unbolt starter from transmission.
18. Unscrew gas gap and unbolt fuel line from firewall.
19. Place a jack with a piece of wood on the top under the oil pan.

21. Remove the clutch cover (2 bolts)
22. Remove the transmission rear mount bolts and the remaining transmission housing bolts.
23. Slowly drop engine down, pull the transmission away from the engine until it clears the mainshaft.
