Learned enough to know there is no way in hell I will ever attempt this myself. Thanks man. 😉
Brian Meyer not one of my favorite jobs either. Thank you for watching!
It's a daunting job, no doubt about it. The greatest obstacle to a non-tech doing this job himself is lack of a lift. I see absolutely no way to remove a transmission from above.
Can you get the trans out through the bottom without removing the sub frame I'll be doing this in my driveway with nothing but jack stands and jacks
@@elliottpetty4979 can you? How did it turn out?
@johnny Macon hey man I just saw this. I would try replacing the Shift Solenoids. Not the Linear solenoids, which you have checked, the solenoids under the starter and thermostat housing. Those are On and OFF only. So if yours is caught in the Off position, that'll cause similar symptoms.
used 2 videos to pull , rebuild,and drop it back in . . this info packed video and a transmission rebuild one $125 and a day later perfect running Honda thanks alot .
Mikel that's awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Mikel das wassup bro
Mke: How'd you drop the engine? IOW... I presume you had access to a lift?
What was the other video you used
Where did you get the gears
You’re like the only guy on here with engine work videos on this car.
FANTASTIC WORK! THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO MAKE AND POST THIS VIDEO. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE HOW THIS IS DONE.
BEEKEEPER Hopefully you never have to do this job. Thank you for watching!
1 minute in: Okay, that doesn't seem too hard.
3 minutes in: Well, maybe I can get somebody to help me with it.
6 minutes in: Hey, is this Tony's Auto Repair? Great, how much would you charge to replace a transmission?
If you replace the engine or transmission make sure that you replace the rear main seal and the O ring on top of the main seal and also all of the axle and input seals on the transmission there's like 4 of them. You do all that work no point in waiting for a leak and then having to rip it out again just for some stupid rubber seals
The subframe is actually joined about midway on both sides by three or four bolts on the left and right. By separating it there you don't have to take the entire subframe down, nor the steering assembly or the exhaust. Yes, it was this same model, same engine size, etc. Twas an informative video though. I see now why not many people post these videos (Honda transmission removal), because it can be a pain in the anus. Thumbs up, holmes.
glad i saw your comment
Agree, this is an important step. If you separate the front beam from the subframe in this manner then you need to mark the front beam where it connects to the subframe with a sharpie or grease pen or something or it won't align properly when you put it back together. The front beam will drop with the front engine mount and lower control arms. This would have saved probably an hour or more of labor on the video.
Thank you for posting this, Mr. Lee. Your advice is a hey-yooge help. I still have to cross-check against the Honda Service Manual for this point in the procedure. But your idea, if it works, saves a LOT of unnecessary dis/reassembly (and the cost of three crush washers!)
This was 3.0 v6? I have the same car ive got ready for it to come out rn. I cant get it to fit thru the top but the subrame comes in two????
Totally right I think everyone should read this comment it cuts the operation down at least 3 hours and turns it from a chronic pain in the ass into a mild one
That's badass brian great work on that job hands down
Daniel Jim thank you!
Wow that was an epic job to do. OMG the work involved, it must be a whole day to change it out. 👍👍
STEVE ROB yes it's pretty much a whole day job. Transmission work is not necessarily my favorite thing to do. Thanks again for watching Steve and congratulations on 1000 subscribers.
How to Automotive Thanks buddy I travel with good people !!!
Good work for the Trassmiciones 👍
Great job! Awesome explanation!
Good work on a big job !!
N Smith thank you!
Wow!...now I know why I bought mine so cheap...it is not a DIY..great video!
MOISES CALDERON thank you for watching!
Hey Brian thank you so much man very great info keep it up
Daniel Jim thank you! And thank you for watching!!
This guy does not fuck around 👍🏼👍🏼💪💪💪
Got to watch this one tomorrow with my morning coffee , too late tonight. Ha can't wait 40 min. 👍👍
STEVE ROB it took lots of coffee to make this video.
How to Automotive Great idea and it will bring a positive responce.
Lot to remember...good job..
Thanks for this information me and my son will doing this shortly
That’s cool that you’re doing it with your son. Good luck with the repair and thank you for washing!
RESPECT! OMG I don't think I could do all that! My 2004 Honda Accord tranny is acting up too.
So much to disassemble to bring transmission down on this Accord v6. Wonder if it would have been easier to pull out engine and transmission thru the top, and then separate them outside. I need to do this job on my 99 v6 soon to change the rear main seal. I did change this seal on my 2000 civic and that was a piece of cake (no lower member or rack & pinion removal needed).
By the way the transmission on my Accord started to slip and give me problems and issues after approx 20 minutes of driving my car, but I noticed that after cooling off I was able to restart it and drive it fine for another 20 minutes approx to get the same symptoms again. My conclusion was that the transmission fluid was overheating and decided to install a trans cooler, a magnetic filter, and drain & replace the fluid (with valvoline Atf for Hondas - I have used them in several of my Hondas with no problem whatsoever-). It totally fixed my problem, and I just hope I can get more life from this transmission.
I would definitely recommend to any Accord or Odyssey owner to install a transmission cooler since these cars definitively have overheating problems.
Great video. Thanks.
Leopoldo Enriquez I have the same issue with my accord. It slips after 20 mins of driving
It would be way more work if you pulled it from up top. Discount all electrical, bolts, mounts, etc.
I have an 05 Accord v6 that needed a transmission pull but we lacked the required height and lift to pull it from the bottom so we removed the engine and transmission from the top. It was neither easy nor fun. I just watched this video to find out what wires I was missing. Turns out it was the thermostat ground wire and found out why my car wouldn't crank due to us removing the switch. Definitely would not recommend removing from the top.
After careful consideration, I have decided that whomever attempts a DIY on this transmission is absolutely nuts. I would have gotten agitated and aggravated after pulling those things from under the hood. No way in hell would I ever do this.
yeah this shi sucks bro I’m legit doing this with other people
About how long did it take you to remove the transmission ? Also would you recommend Using a lift? all the lifts that i have are tried up.
I have a 02 accord and i think the transmissiom is about to fail. I was wonderong if it makes any sence to replace it since all the transmissions from that era are garbage, it may need replacing again. Wouldt it make more sence to rebuild it. Just wondering
For my next trick, brain surgery.
I have a 7th generation accord. Will that be the same procedure. Or different bolt diagram
Thanks
this video is packed with info, i know it's a long procedure, but i think you should of done a slower video where you have better shots and more explanations, everything in the video was a little to fast (look at video's from "eric the car guy".
Thank you very much for the help
CRASH77 glad to help. Thank you for watching!
are there any special tools that are required for the job?
Chingo de trabajo
Do we need a wheel alignment after this job??
Good video,, one question on a 2003 accord should be about the same work to replace the transmission ?
Marco Sánchez yes it's pretty much the same exact job just a few different brackets.
How to Automotive I already replaced the transmission on my honda 2003 4 cylinder your video helped me a lot thank you so much
Marco Sánchez glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Got to the separating the motor from the tranny and the torque converter is pushing out. Keep it from separating. Any help here? (Yes, i removed those 8 10mm bolts.) Im missing something at this point.
I think you forgot to mention its a good idea to change the motor main rear seal so that you dont have to do this all over again. Lol
Why did you have to remove the back engine mount? It doesn't seem to be in the way or connected to the transmission?
I need to replace my transmission main connector wiring. But can’t seem to find where it is?
Excellent video! If my mechanic says this will cost 1000 dollars (labor), I will know it is a good deal! This would take me a month. (And I would have to rent things).
I was considering this as a project for me and my son. I got 1 minute and 41 seconds in and made my decision NOT to. He’s only 9 years old. I’m glad I didn’t tell him because Id have to own up to it. I really dodged a bullet!
I know this video is not about the Toyota but I do have a question? It's a 1999 camry and I just put the transmission in and it shifts rough first and second gear and it won't shift into 3rd gear unless I let off the gas pedal. What is the problem? Just put this transmission in.
Kevin Lucas I would start with the basics and make sure the fluid is at the right level. After that hook up a candle to see if the speed sensors in the transmission are reading correctly. Also check for codes.If the throttle position sensor on the engine is malfunctioning could cause transmission issues as well.
man for such a great motor Honda did a shit job on that transmission for the 02.
Honda transmissions from '98 to '02 were GARBAGE! Without admitting any 'defects in manufacturer' Honda extended their transmission warranty on these affected vehicles (Accord's, Odyssey's etc) to 100k miles or 93 months, whichever came first. Didn't do my Mom any good though, as she BABIED her '01 Accord, which had less than 60k miles on it by this year (2018) and the transmission still went out. Per most car companies, they professed 'innocence' to using a sub-standard design, but go on the web and look at the MASSIVE number of failures (and REPEATED FAILURES, post 'new' units being installed!) associated with these year models!
@@DadBradTo5 true glad I have a MT and not automatic.
@@DadBradTo5 weird I have 262k on mine and still drive it everyday.
@@DadBradTo5 what should i replace it with ?
I agree
To Mr. Eslick and others who are familiar with unbolting a transmission from an old and/or high mileage engine, I have this question:
With the transmission out, why not take the opportunity to replace the rear main seal for good measure? The seal material is original with twenty years and a bazillion miles on it, it is not a life-time part, and they do tend to weep oil as a result. Comments? Opinions?
Good idea! Seal is cheap
Im getting a torque coverter seal code on my 2000 accord ex
Ummm.... just did one at the shop last week, rack/pinion doesn't need to come out. Subframe separates by the driver side to give enough room to pull the trans out. And book rate is only 6.2hrs to do. Looks like you made way more work for yourself than was needed 😐
with 6.2 book hours, what is a fair quote to have a swap done
Well, pulling the rack and pinion maybe quicker to change the power steering?
Do you rebuild them?
Just bought the car, drove fine.. Month later trans is shot only 110k miles. Going to get it rebuilt I suppose 😔
My exhaust bolts are so messed up that I'm gonna attempt to pull the transmission with the sub frame dangling on the exhaust. This is a nightmare to do on the floor. Your video is a well done inspiration. No fluff, just info.
Brian Graves thank hope it works out for you sucks dealing with damaged bolts .
It worked great!!
Is it better to rebuild it or get a new one cause my v6 Accord is having transmission problem now what should I do get a new one or rebuild it ?
Javier Paulino i'm not a fan of rebuilt transmissions. I would recommend a new one if you can get one.
So should I get a new one cause i only have 133,433 miles on my Honda Accord
Javier Paulino if the car is in really good shape and it has some value then I would say yes to a new .
How many quarts of oil do I put in after installing a freshly rebuilt trans accord 2000 4 cylinder
luismendoza9049 I will look it up tomorrow when I get back to the shop.
luismendoza9049 if The transmission is completely dry of fluid it a whole 6 1/2 quarts. But if you're just doing a drain infill it's about 2 3/4 quarts.
They hold about 2L
How many hours does it take to remove and reinstall?
Fernando F The book calls for 7 1/2 hours. I did it in about five.
Does anybody know what that small plate is called at 11:02? That plate is broken on my son’s car. 🤦🏽♂️
i need you to do mine, 2002 honda accord se, 4cyl
So easy
Did you ever do it on the 2002? How was it?
man i pulled every bolt still cant get the trans to drop
What state are you in your nice with it
San Diego California
Kinda late to the game here. But how different is the process for an 06 honda accord?
Marissa Scott overall it’s going to be very similar to this job.
Thank you
Having a hard time finding a video on a 2003 4 cylinder Honda Accord automatic transmission removal. Any links?
Did you find anything cuz im having a hard time finding anything as well.
Will a 97 4 cylinder honda accord transmission fit a 98 vtec v6 ??
Jacob Harrington -CoCorKiller My guess would be no but I’m not sure.
No they are completely different, just changed a out a 4 cyl one and watched this video cause I was curious about the v6s , they are different
💯👌
Since I've removed my engine twice I know it would be a lot easier to remove the transmission from the top leave my subframe alone!!
No way in hell it should take that damn long to take the transmission out . Took the longest way
So a guy is offering me a 2000 honda accord mint condition for 500 bucks. The only problem is that when it warms up after a while the 4th gear starts slipping . is it worth it to purchase and repair or pass it by ? it has a Vtech engine I think 6 cylinders (214,00 miles ). I would apreciate some feedback. Thanks
Efrain Gallardo 214k is a red flag. If you're trying to flip it this is not a good deal but if you're looking for a car to put a little money into and drive possibly. Would look up how much they're selling for in your area to determine if this is a good price or not. Sounds like it's going to need a transmission in its near future.
How to Automotive thanks for info. I thought maybe it has dirty oil and I can do a complete transmission flush. It just seemed strange that it starts skipping at the 4th gear.
Efrain Gallardo 214k on it more like something is broken.
How to Automotive Got it. Thanks for helping me out with this.
Someone has all the tools i need to do this ?
Me: thinking i can do anything watch this video to the end.
Me: yeah ill just pay somone else to do it.
No wonder why shops charge anywhere from $1,500-$3,500. My co worker got a rebuilt transmission for his F150 which was $3k.
Man you lost me after you disconnected the Selenoids , Damn no wonder they wanna charge ove r 2,500 just to rebuild it...smh
+Explict DP yeah it’s not easy.
How to Automotive Yeah I see, Maybe if I had the tools, Lift & The time I could tackle a job like that, Hey I was wondering since you're very informative in knowing all the part locations. I have the same vehicle a year older 2001 I was wondering if you give me quick diagnosis the car's been running good since I bought it four months ago and then it suddenly started slipping couple of days ago I added Lucas additive oil to the transmission I might have been running in it on low transmission oil but when it gets past 2nd gear and third Gears around 300 RPM it slips and goes into neutral , then I would either have to stop or wait until it catches shift again was wondering if you if you could tell me or know if it's a particular solenoid that might be defective and causing that type of transmission effect of code p1750 hoping is just a malfunctioning solenoid, instead of a expensive job like actual replacement of the Transmission? Thanks appreciate you
How to Automotive actually a P0730 code shift selenoid or A/T clucth selenoid??? How much should I really pay for a job like you performed, plus remanufacture Transmission
You can drop the trans out the bottom without a lift, you just need to get the car high up in the air. You can use a floor jack on the lower control arms to get it high enough up for the trans to clear out the bottom on a trans jack/dolly
Jesus how many bolts
Yup… the mechanic gonna have to handle this one. Not me
with all these removed might as well just remove the entire engine.
Anyone who balks at the cost of a transmission r/r at a shop should be forced to watch this video before complaining about prices.
I did this to my Honda but now I have no acceleration power
98*
Yeah fuck tha I'll just buy another ride
LOL that’s one way to fix it!
I'm being charged $1,100 for this can anyone tell me if that's a fair price
Sounds about right. It's a pain in the rear.
Shit I got pricequoted $8000
That's fair
I got worn out about 1/2 wy through the video.
I'm sorry but taking just the engine out is way much easier
Los C there more then one way to do it.
Only way to go.Up and out together!!!
Do you really actually have to remove the axles and drop the subframe Jesus it’s easier to work on my e46 then this that’s insane
Shittiest transmission ever built.
What would be a reasonable price to have this done ?
$6
