- I got to drive my 98 Honda Prelude around for almost 3 days until this happened. I'm stuck between replacing the clutch or rebuilding my transmission. Lets hope its not as bad as I think it is.

First off big respect man for not only tackling on such big projects on your own, but admitting when you messed up. A lot of guys would not post it or just act like they know what their talking about. I respect that a lot. I am also having issues of my own with my lude and it’s all a learning process and makes the ends result that much better. I’ve built a G23 for my 2001 Prelude and after installing it hadn’t touched it in over a month and forgot to put the oil filter on. Stupid mistake, especially wasting almost 5 quarts of royal purple all over my garage floor. I then did the same mistake realizing I forgot to put the oil pressure switch back on and lost another couple quarts of oil. After lots of kitty liter and cursing. I got the engine running. But then i realized my water pump was leaking from its weep hole. Probably when I put the water pump together I damaged the internal bearing. (G23 use a f series water pump but swapped with a h series timing gear) so back to the tools I go to replace that. Anyways good luck and as always, great content. Your mess ups helps others not make the same mistakes. Thanks bro!
Thanks bro, I appreciate the feedback! Man, it sounds like you went through hell with that motor, one thing right after another. I'm glad you didn't give up on it!
Its awesome that you and many others are sharing their stories because those are the very same things that could happen to anyone else if we're not paying attention or not too careful. Thanks for sharing bro!
I did the same thing on my H23a Accord. I swapped it, then the car sat for a year. Finished the swap and started driving it, forgot all about that damn trans fluid. After the trans started making a whining noise I realized it. I added MTF and have kept driving it, but the whine is still there. I actually have 2 4G Prelude Si transmissions. Gearing is a little longer, but still good, not like an F-trans. I would part with one if you need a trans. I think you’re relatively local.
AHhh mannn, that sucks that we both made the same mistake 😂😂😂 That whining noise has scarred me for life and I swear that my civic is making a similar noise but not as noticeable. Are you near Dallas, TX!? That would be awesome!
I would love to laugh and point fingers at someone that does not know what there doing but, Good for you. We all went through this at some point but atleast your man enough to show it. Keep up the good work man.
Yo Rawrkee my man, you're a beast dude! Absolutely fearless. You're an inspiration. The quality of your content is much appreciated.
Thanks bro!! I got another one cooking up real soon :D
this happened to me when I replaced the clutch on my 5th gen about 8-9 years ago, my car now has a 4th gen prelude transmission with shorter gears, which i hate. best of luck, we live and learn.
Same here
Can't be to hard on yourself mistakes happen. It's good you like doing your own work. It makes the project so much worth it. When you said k swap though, I already thinking the same thing lol.
Aye bro, I’m not making references for no reason 🤭
dang man! Sorry to hear! Pretty cool to see the transmission internally to find out exactly what got damaged
Yeah man, after seeing the internals laying around in my garage for a few days now, it doesn't seem so intimidating anymore as far as disassembling it goes.. The reassembling part seems like a lot can go wrong.. haha
@@Rawrkee right? lol. Hope she will be soon! This is def my favorite gen of Preludes! 🤟🏼
@@Rawrkee nah if you get it all put together right the first time, itll get easier if u gotta do it again. Honda manual trannys are awsome so simple to work on, good luck with ur car man i just rebuilt my h22 and im converting my SH to a base model so i dont have to deal with the ATTS unit, frees up alot of space as well lol.
the prelude curse man. it never gets old my axle blew at 80 two weeks ago😵💫
🤯🤯🤯🤯 Well, its a good excuse to upgrade :D
Sometimes the best way to learn is the hard way. You'll never make that mistake again haha. I like your Prelude, you don't see many of them anymore!
Hey man we've all been there. I did the timing belt on my old Galant and forgot to tighten the tensioner all the way to the motor xD.
Ahhh mannn, I feel like that is a mistake I may make whenever I convert to a manual tensioner 😂 Thanks for sharing!
Sorry that sucks, working on my prelude for the longest time, every time I get close to finishing it I find something that needs to be replaced like yesterday I noticed it leaking coolant XP. Love seeing your videos.
LOL!!! I know exactly what you mean 😂😂😂 I just want to hurry up and drive it again
Mistake happen brotha haapy ur okay. Looking forward to the Lude back on the road. May God bless u and have a good one sir.
Benn there done that bro. I'm sorry that happened bro but hey its a part of learning. At least youre not the guy who took an air hammer and wedged it against the trans to get a stuck axle out and ended up cracking the case. that was back when I didnt know how to do anything. 😅 Keep at it man, you'll have a SOLID Lude soon.
Bruhhh, that def sounds like a logical thing to do when it’s stuck on there pretty good 🤣🤣🤣 thanks bro! Got an update coming very soon!
I used to have those same floor mats. Anyways, I havent had many issues with my prelude & I think it is because I keep everything stock mechanically other than coilovers & a CAI which are hard to mess up. I think most prelude owners have problems or "curse" is simply because they are always modding & fiddling with the car. Nothing wrong with that, do you, but I believe that's the reason for the "curse".
These floor mats come in clutch 🔥🔥🔥 And yeah bro, if I ever decide to buy a RHD prelude, I'll have to keep it bone stock to keep the curse away 🤣🤣
Its more than that. Ludes getting struck by lightning, backed into by trucks at gas stations- you name it, preludes been cursed by it
Learning from your mistakes brotha! 😬
You just know that for the rest of your life you're going to take extra care of your transmissions. You don't make mistakes like that twice lol
yeah bro! I loved how this transmission felt too, its crazy how I ended up destroying it... A way cooler story would've been by having too much boost 🤣
Most common thng for what you were explaining would be clutch master cyl or slave cyl
eyy mistakes are made but this expensive lol. I look forward to seeing more prelude content!
Real Talk 💀💀💀😂 But yeah man, at least both the engine and trans will be like new haha
Stop the carnage 😆.. we live and we learn. But sometimes it's some $$$ learning curves..
I had one my self last week with my civic wagon getting towed for no tags. Cost me $1200 to get everything straightened out!!!
Anyways thanks for sharing, specially your mistakes. It makes us feel like we are not alone 😂..
wow, that sucks to hear you had to go through that >_<
and yeah man, I've been messing up a lot since day 1. Even though I've been doing this for about 3 years now, I still manage to mess up like anyone else :D
Hey you're a Fed Ex'er! As a UPS driver I respect what you do man. But those Amazon guys have a long way to go. Seriously, how often does one of those guys almost hit you when backing out of a driveway? Back first, pull away without delay.
Hey I found your prelude videos because I recently picked up a black 1999 prelude with a bad transmission and 268k on the clock for $850. It will be seeing a lot of garage time. Cheers!
Investing in cars is such a money pit but everything is a learning experience I guess and bright side is you have more content. Even though it's not worth the $$$.
Yeah man, too bad this learning experience is expensive af 🤣
I hate to say it. I thought my 99 could escape the curse but no way. I rebuilt the engine last summer and this summer it decided to blow up. I want to throw it out. It’s on my driveway but dam! I love preludes!
I will check my Transmission today 😆 thx for upload, very intresting, greetings from Germany!
Maaaaan part of me wants to believe you did this on purpose just to have an excuse to build the trans but jeeeeez that was pretty dumb. I feel bad but we all live and learn. Best of luck dude
LOL!!! I was thinking the same 🤣🤣🤣
Dang man, I looked on Rock Auto for your gears and couldn't even find them....This really sucks to hear happen to you man. Just found your channel and enjoyed your enthusiasm. Stay positive and keep us updated on the rebuild. I say rebuild it instead of swap it just for the experience and content you'll get - but either way, hope it gets back on the road quick man.
Thanks man and welcome to the channel :D
I didn't even know you could buy the gears separately because all the transmission rebuild kits only replace the synchros and not the gears -_-
Now that the trans in disassembled, I'm very tempted to disassemble the gear sets but idk how the reassembly will go 😂
You live and you learn keep it up💪
I would gladly take it off your hands 👍🏾
Props for fixing it yourself... keep up the content
Next time just open up the hood and set it to neutral from on top of the transmission. That way you don’t have to keep the clutch oressed
WHAT!? I need to learn how to do that hahaha
This.
On Manuel transmission it's oil
I made a similar mistake. On my h22 Accord. I was so excited about the prelude tranny on there too. I bought a “genuine Honda manual transmission fluid” from eBay. And it fucked up the prelude tranny AND the original accord tranny. My dumbass bought the same fluid thinking I needed to break in the transmission. But the viscosity in the oil seemed like 5w-20 and I later found out that gear oil is way thicker. I should have known when the back of the bottle had no sticker with any information just “genuine Honda manual transmission fluid”
“K Swap the prelude!!” 😂
It happened to me on my way to Vegas it sounded like metal just spinning but it wasn't stalling
Wao bro u have bad luck but now u know for the next one that is part of life keep it up
I'm very sorry bout that bro I'm dealing with lude problems too my computer keeps killing my altinator
AHhh mannn, I hope you can figure the issue, good luck!
Heyy just wanted to point something out, i saw that you drained the transmission fluid after you took it out and then realized the problem, although if you dont drain it before poping the axles out, when you take them off fluid should come out of the transmission, so just some helpful tip if you ever gotta change a axle drain some fluid from the transmission cuz it will come out when you take them off
Bro, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for pointing that out! I was able to see it first hand when I refilled it with fluid. You the man!
@@Rawrkee No problem man always happy to help! Keep up the grind its awesome to watch you jump in projects!
I got a set of 4 OEM wheels and tires (1with nail in it 📌😒) if you or anyone wants. Tires in good condition.
ahhh mann, you gotta patch that nail 😂
Bro ! That tranny broke !! Man I gotta say fuck it , fix it ! We wanna own preludes and this is one of the many things that come with owning a lude. Just ordered my first shirt bro ! Love it. My lude is still sitting on jack stands just like the shirt ! Still loading bro !
Dang suck to see that happens, best bet is to get another h22 transmission if you can find one for good price, or rig up the accords f22/23 manual transmission, car will be slower but you'll be back on the streets again.
Lol I thought I was the only one who fixes all the hard things first only to realise it was a simple fix.
Yep you gonna need a new transmission for sure. That old one is shot. You can keep the housing or sell it, but all the internals are trashed.
people will buy the housing because they crack sometimes. If you drop it or hit something on the road.
K SWAP!
H2b the way to go know, I just rebuilt my 1986 honda prelude si transmission wish I could of went a2b
ayyyy we got the same radio
You got this bro small setback but will come back harder!
Yesssirrr, thanks bro!!!
You might want to go with a base transmission conversion if you get a new transmission. If you chose to go that way, I will buy the ATTS sensors off you.
I'm highly considering a base transmission because that ATTS unit makes dropping the trans a bit harder 😂😂😂 But as of now, I'm lookin for another SH Trans
Hey bro, I know someone who has those sensors for sell and she's a good seller. HMU on instagram and I'll send you her info
Took that still working on it phrase to heart and purposely not out tranny fluid in it just for you to keep working on it bro 😆
Jk man!
Love the merch man.
Imma show support by watching and liking for now. Budget tight, but they’re hella dope!
Also, that’s crazy how you can just tear down your tranny on the fly like that lol.
I wish u can assist me on my 8th gen si
I’m wanting to replace the clutch by myself
But I don’t got the heart to do it yet by myself lol
That uniform looks familiar 🤔
Did I see the centering tool for the clutch still in after you took off the pressure plate ?
yeah, I didn't want the clutch to just drop to the ground. One hand on the camera, the other pulling off the pressure plate 😅
@@Rawrkee make scenes lol I thought you left it in after putting the clutch in 😂
I’m in the market and need advise I got into a conversation with a guy I’ve met 3 years ago with a Honda prelude the cars been sitting for most that time turned on day-to-day and recently test drove it and it turned of when it came to low rpm
All good 👍
Wait was it leaking thru the bolt? Or was their just none when you replaced it
I for that I drained the trans awhile back and so I loosely tightened it. When it came time to 'actually' flush it, thats when I realized, I did flush it a long time ago and never refilled it /)_-
Hey at least you made it somewhere lol Mine is still in the garage. Oh btw. Get rid of that Honda MTF. Get some syncromesh. And dont loose those little ball bearings and springs.
AHhh shoootttt, what kind of synchromesh?? Amsoil??
@@Rawrkee thats fine. I use the pennzoil stuff. Works great. And alot cheaper then amsoil.
You should make how to videos. You have a lot of knowledge bro
Welp i got my prelude 2 weekends ago. Had to go through 2 batteries and an alternator the first day 🙂…..trunk latch isn’t secure. If i hit a bump too hard the trunk will pop open. SRS light is on and i have no idea what it means or how to fix it. Brake lights were stuck on so i had to replace the grommet on the pedal. E-Brake light will randomly turn on and off on the dash even though the E-Brake isn’t engaged. So i don’t know how to fix that either. I hear a grinding noise from the rear so I feel like i either need rotors or pads. And to top it all off the AC isn’t really working it blows but it’s blowing hot. Tried to put Freon in it but the reading was already full. So i feel like the Compressor may be the issue. Also when the guy changed the alternator he said he didn’t see a belt running from the Compressor to the Alternator so i may need a serpentine belt. I really don’t even know where to start 🥲. Any help would be great
Do you have an aftermarket steering wheel? That will likely cause an SRS light. The E-brake light is actually a common problem, (asside from the e-brake itself) it's supposed to indicate low brake fluid, if your fluid level is fine then it's just a buggy sensor which is nothing major (id remove the light). As for your AC, if your alternator belt doesn't pass through your AC compressor then you wont have AC at all, and somehow have a random belt that fits just to the alternator. Installing the belt that your auto-parts store says should fit will fix that hopefully.
Beauty lude
THank you!! They're Varrstoen ES2 17x9.5 +30
I got an extra b series trans
We'll see if I can find a H series near by, fingers crossed 😩
Hey, bro! I need that Lude flag
How many FedEx customers didn't get their packages today?
💀💀💀
Dangggg bro, such a small mistake with a huge consequence, 😢😅
I stii have my 98 Honda prelude. Wife says I'm too old. 70 retired
Damnit dude. That sux
where did you get the service manual?
That's how get a prelude for $400, when I removed there were not a drop of fluid
Find one in junkyard or get a rebuild. Or new if you can find and afford it.
I found one locally, its JDM with LSD but they were asking for ebay pricing for it 🤣
@@Rawrkee i have a 2000 Acura integra LS it runs great enjoy it very much so so impressed with the quality, everything on the car is super tight showing how the tolerances are on the Hondas and Acuras.
Is this the type sh trim? if so how many bolts did you have to take off! im pulling down my transmission but cant seem to find the last bolt.
Did you remove the atts unit? There's one hidden way up there where you can't see without removing it.
yeah its the SH trim. You have to remove the ATTS unit before dropping the trans, there are 4 bolts that hold up the ATTS unit, did you remove those?
@@Rawrkee I think im missing a bolt
@@Rawrkee around what area are the bolts? My ATTS still doesn't want to pry off
@@kevintochihuitl2450 DM me on IG
...what no way exact same thing as my rebuiild first the missfire now the trans, i resealed my trans and it leaked thru the bell housing(my fault). im swapping an m2y4 w accord 5th gear that intermediate shaft conversion on the sh block is going to be a mission for us.
this is the second time I heard about the accord 5th gear, why is that something you'd want to do?
and I think BBalliance makes a block off plate that allows you to bolt up that intermediate shaft
OMG dude can't even driver for a week without it being back on Jack stands Nooo. Trial and error now everything will be brand-new that's one way to look at it.👌
LOL, yeah man, I'm ashamed of myself 😅
Did you check the atts unit to make sure it has fluid in it?
Just in case.🤔
rebuild it with the accord final drive gear. i bought my lude with that already done and 5th gear wants to keep eating more than stock trans ludes ive been in.
Whoaaaa, I'ma have to look into that, thanks for the suggestion bro!
I need to check my prelude ahh shit
Sad day, looks like a parts tranny now. If there is still any good parts left.
Shit happens my guy. My dumbass still hasn't figured out how to take the tranny out without taking the engine out! Grab a new tranny from somewhere reputable and keep cruisin.
just remove the passenger axle. If you have an SH, remove that radius arm as well. Those two things were a PITA hahah
Ngl I don’t blame you I did the same prelude got sent off to get rear main seal fixed and came back with no oil they didn’t tell me and I ran it a day without noticing and the car felt funny like it shakes when it runs I’m not sure what it is but I’m
Pretty stupid too :,)
We all go through it bro. My first car I bought when I was 18yrs old. A 2002 Audi A6 about 15yrs ago. I paid for it myself. Wanted to work on it myself because that’s how my pops raised me. I needed an oil change and accidentally flushed the tranny oil. Flooded the motor with 6 quarts of oil. Paid a guy to fix it and he screwed me. It was an expensive mistake. Now I save money not going to shops. It all catches up.
sheeeshhhhh, I guess it ain't uncommon for ppl to make expensive mistakes. Now we know exactly what to look out for 😂
@@eddilovee dennnggg, that sucks bro! Glad to hear you're tackling the maintenance yourself
@@Rawrkee I mean everything still work tranny shifts perfect engine had low oil like very low and engine light never turned on 😔 but only shakes when I accelerate it maybe tie rod ends? Bushings? Cv axel yk?
It's your axel spinning
I have h22civic ek and my 5th is fk but I rather just get a lsd f20b trans or euro r transmission it’s only like 1300
Where can I get those tail lights boss?
He has a video about where to order them
You can check it out here jdmgeek.com/where-to-buy-custom-led-tail-lights-for-honda-prelude-5th-gen-1997-2001/
That sucks!
how much was it for a flat bed tow?
Free, it’s covered in my liability insurance
My lao brother , just buy a replacement transmission. Save yourself the headache
Hey man do you have the link to the prelude book
I got mine on ebay, just look up, Prelude Service Manual. If you don't mind a pdf/online version, you can go on the facebook Honda Prelude groups and ask if anyone has a link or download to it
Might as well just swap it at this point. Yikes dude
Yeah bro, it'll be hard to find a SH trans though unless I convert it to a base model -_-
Rip
You can buy new gears replace just the gears it’s cheaper
I was looking into that, do you know where I can buy aftermarket gears?? Honda doesn't seem to have them
@@Rawrkee look up boosted boys Kyle has a video I am replacing the gears in his h22 Honda transmission
@@Rawrkee synchrotech
3 days with no trans fluid😭😭😭
Yeah bro, I’m an idiot 😭😭
Lol k swap the prelude! Fuck it
🤕😳
Just get a new transmission
Yooo I'm glad I accidentally found ur channel. my girl just got 95 prelude 4th gen. If y'all have any pointers on wat I need to look out for I'm all ears.
