You have no idea of my struggles.. Lol car on jackstands, one man show, had shoulder surgery 6 weeks ago... Its gonna be ruff.

IMO putting it back together is way easier and faster than taking it apart. You're 70% done. I did my clutch job all by myself and since I knew what I took out I knew what to put back. I had mine propped up on cinder blocks and used a floor jack to handle the tranny.

Some people have complained about reinstalling the tranny but for me it slipped right in. Having a bum shoulder is definitely going to make it harder for you.

Good luck.

Car Analogy

It was the same situation for me. Car on stands, steep driveway, by myself, no trans jack, and injured shoulder (bathroom renovation).

It was difficult, but doable. You'll be ok...

Good info here. It's too bad they did a rush job previously. A lot of time its the lack of or incorrect grease that leads to premature troubles.

Id make sure to check the pedal freeplay via billmans recommendation and gavity bleed the old fluid out as well.

Maybe look into the subframe collars while youre in there as well?

Subframe collars?

I would strongly consider OEM clutch parts. They seem to be uber quality. My car has 83K on the original parts and i'm here because i'm lining up expertise and parts. Fortunately,

I am an ex auto shop teacher and former pro bmw mechanic, so i've done many clutch jobs on all sorts of euro and jap cars. Many owners have a lot more than 83k on the oem clutch.

Yes, I agree. Oem direct from honda for all the clutch components including the grease.


The collars are to fill in the gaps around the subframe bolts and make sure the subframe is square to the body.

car on stands + anything less than level driveway = extremely dangerous...

How did you find that 6 puck in terms of bite and pedal pressure?
