..what special tools do I need in order to rebuild one?

 

To take apart the casing i just use basic tools (12mm ratchet, a couple hex wrenches, and a little slothead screwdiver to pry the casing apart to break the Hondabond seal) They do make a special tool to release the spring clip that holds the countershaft but i just use a pair of needle nose pliers. Then on the stacks themselves there is no really big deal with those. With the differential however, if you replace it's bearings you will need a puller and a press. Unless you want to somehow pry them off with a crowbar then hit the new ones back on with a hammer. Anyways it really doesn't require a lot of tools to rebuild a tranny. Have fun!!!
