You could remove the CDV if you want easy enough since you are taking off the Slave Cylinder anyway just don't push the piston through the boot like I did putting it back in.
That is pretty easy. Make sure the steering wheel is locked. There is a trap door under the carpet beneath the accelerator and brake pedal. Its on 12mm bolt and then you can unspline the steering shaft from the rack and pinion you just pull up on the the steering shaft wiggle it a bit and it...
There is a lot of disassembly before you can even drop the subframe and drop the tranny. All the suspension has to come off in the front, a bunch of little brackets and pig tales and random bolts. Its a lot of work way more than they make it seem in the ACT install video.
It depends on what your working with and if you have help two guys that are pros or at least advanced amatures maybe one full day but if your looking to do it solo with jack stands and a floor jack I would say 2-3 days minimum.
I do not know if it is to keep tabs on if you mod your car or not but it is very annoying that Honda Link now communicates with Honda via satellite and I do not think you can turn it off so anything you do to your car is automatically transmitted to Honda any warning, any change to the software...
UPDATE: Got the new EPS rack installed and working but the dash is still all lit up and since the car is so new my dealer level scan tools does not have to software to calibrate or reset the loss of coms with the EPS so no ACC, LKAS or collision avoidance so I am gonna bite the bullet and take...
Luck the fitment for 18, 19 and 20 are the same for the steering rack to I was able to find a remanufactured one form a local axel shop for $450 bucks otherwise I would have been looking and god knows how much for a new from dealer part. For sure over a thousand.
Yes. DISCONNECT the STEERING RACK BEFORE YOU DROP THE SUBFRAME!!!! Its at my buddies shop now getting a new remanufactured one put on now and then Ill be taking it on a long drive tomorrow to test out the clutch and flywheel.
Got the new slave cylinder in and that is fine she fired up and the clutch she is great. The lightweight flywheel adds a substantial amount of low end torque and shifts like butter.
Seems though I jacked my steering rack despite my best efforts to repair the connector got a U0131 and I have no...
Also as a friendly pro tip for those looking to do this themselves be very mindful where you put the slave cylinder after you disconnect it. It is very delicate apparently and the lines connecting it to the master cylinder are as well and will bend or break easily as I learned and that was $180...
Yea. I did a clutch on a 2003 Saturn Ion with a floor jack and it took me a few days but no major issues I dont know what this has turned into such a cluster. Now the dame Slave cylinder broke so yea hopefully Honda dealer has one in stock and I can get back on the road on Tuesday.
Still waiting to find out. She is still on the lift. 12 hours yesterday to get the tranny dropped, swapped the flywheel and pressure plate and disk, remount the transmission and then got maybe a little over half way through reassembly
Issues I ran into.
1. Remember to disconnect the connector...
Yea If I didn't have the lift and a proper Tranny jack no way I would have done this myself. Hell I even considered paying somebody to do it just because its such a pain. Not for the faint of heart.
Look for a leak in the system. All I can think of. I have a CAI and Cat Back exhaust system and I have seen huge gains.
Do a few pulls and if you can monitor your MAP pressure make sure you are building and holding boost. Make sure your hose clamps are tight and the MAF sensor is functioning...
So I finally decided to bite the bullet and drop the tranny turned in to a two day job and day one was harder than I expected. Thankfully I have access to a lift and a full complement of pneumatic tools, jacks and stands. Not recommended if your thinking of going DIY. It is a serious undertaking...
Dude I used to love California now I wish I could move man so sick of the BS the government sticking their nose into everything trying to over regulate literally everything and they just blow all the tax money I and every other Californian pays on stupid shit. The cost of living is stupid high...
