wats a transmission stand?

it's like having someone there holding up the tranny for you. Are you replacing a clutch or transmission?

[cb9wagon]

nothing very funky at all.


be safe ,jackstands.....

i used a floor jack for the trans but a proper jack is the way.
watch out for the powersteering regulator/speed sensor. do it as soon as you can after air intake is removed... and so on. tuck it out of the way, do this from the top.

watch your wiring and the speed sensors on the right wheel side of the trans. disregard if your a standard.

replacin clutch and so on fork throwout bearing all that good stuff lol and yeah i was wondering wat all i would need i no they r a pain in the ass by urself

You need far more than a 17mm socket.

You'll need a 36mm for the axle nut.
You'll need to unbolt the slave cylinder from the transmission housing.
You'll need to disconnect the shifter cables, VSS, and reverse sensor.
Pop the lower ball joints, remove the axles, lower the engine so the tranny will clear the fenderwell...

Just start doing it. If you've done it before, it'll come back to you. I did it 4-5 years ago, and I just did it again this summer. it came back to me, and my memory sucks.

i had to drop one at the PnP just to get the flywheel bolts otherwise Honda was going to rape me in the butt for those. I'll tell you it was certainly a learning experience.

Then i dropped my automatic by myself in the garage, that was funny as hell because it just went "KA-CHUNK" as it hit the ground, then using the shifter cables, i dragged it out from underneath.

word of advice, keep your limbs clear of a tranmission dropping out of a car. That sucker will definitly break something if not smash it good.

if ur changing the clutch u will need a 12point 10 mm socket.

Correction, 12pt 17mm socket for flywheel bolts.

[deevergote]

12pt 10mm is for the pressure plate bolts.

it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for you to get a repair manual. they're about $16 or so and they walk you through step by step. later.
