1999 Honda Civic Engine and Transmission Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2020
- In this video I replace the engine and automatic transmission in my sons 1999 Honda Civic. Personally, I don’t see this as a difficult job, especially if you’re fortunate enough to have a lift. Even if you don’t have a lift, take your time, keep your fasteners organized, and you should be fine. You might also consider taking pictures along the way as reference so that you get everything back the way it’s suppose to go. Even with that, you might have to improvise like I did in this video.
I hope you find this information useful!

Watching this brought happiness to my day. Still depressed but it's always a pleasure watching Eric do engine jobs.
Believe me, I can relate more than you know. Hang in there. Take it one minute at a time if you have to. Take care of yourself.
How’ve you been doing? These videos make me happy too

My dad was really great with cars and anything mechanical in general. Great man. He passed away two years ago and I didn't get to learn that much from what he offered since I was a college student and mainly played video games in my free time.
Out on my own now and your videos make me feel connected with him again as my brain lights up when you refresh me on so many things he showed me that I barely paid attention to as a kid. Thank you so much!
4:15 I had this exact hose fail on my 1998 Honda Civic LX in the summer of 2020. It was overheating for around 10 minute of my 15 minute commute home. I got it towed and replaced but it was a close call. I think the head gasket is still OK. No unusual fumes in the exhaust.
This generation of Civics was great. I bought it when I was 19 and I'm now 40. It's my first and only car and I drive it almost daily!
I spent months working on my vw to get it on the road and it developed a rod knock, but I found a replacement engine and installed it and now I daily drive it.
That was the first time I've removed an engine from a car and reinstalled it, one of the main things that kept me motivated was watching etcg (and a bunch of other channels) videos
Thanks for the help staying motivated!
Comments like yours really make my day. Thank you.
Brings back memories of my little civic that went to the scrap heap in the sky 😭
I love the timelapses followed by the explanations. I love seeing you move around the shop and car. Make this your new standard of video.
You’re a good dad, Eric. Always a great video
Absolutely amazing how hard kids are on cars. On my 20 yr olds CRV Ive installed two transmissions and an engine, in the time hes owned it. I think young people think cars have two speeds...on and off. Love these types of videos...as I have so been in the same place. Trying to take the "best" used stuff and make it work.
I’ve watched your old Honda engine replacement 6 or 7 yrs years ago and learned a lot from it, can’t wait to watch this one when I get home later. You’re the machine, Eric!
Still the only place I come to get car advice
You gotta try out “the under the hood show” It’s a car repair podcast that’s been around for some time now. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Try it out bro, you’ll thank me.
Clearly you haven't watched any SMA videos.
@@anthonycox9470 clearly you’ve mistaken me for someone who cares.
@@jayyoutube8790 Clearly you can't tell that I was not talking to you.
...and the only place you need to.

I love that sound, it's music to my ears!
I miss my '98 Civic. Same color too. Hope your son enjoys it, you're an amazing dad!
So nice when a big job comes together without much difficulty like that. Adjusted valves on my 95 Accord some weeks ago, and it runs better than ever.
I've been watching your videos for years and I want to say a massive thanks, you have been a huge help with nearly if not all my own projects. Legend.
Nothing like having a qualified Honda dealer mechanic for a dad-!-lol -- As someone who swapped a lot of engines back in my day, Ill say theres MUCH satisfaction in A: the donor engine in this case being good to start with, and B: having virtually zero issues with the swap once done. I have fond memories of my first engine swap - as teenagers me and a buddy once swapped engines in a clean old old '63 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham we got for $50 that had a blown engine. The '63 had a 390" but no one had a 390" on hand so we took a 1964 429" and its transmission which was the same engine with different bore and stroke - the salvage yard swap book said it wouldnt fit, but after having the machine shop correct the driveshaft length we drilled two new holes in the rear trans. mount to relocate the mount holes, dropped it in using a local service station tow truck winch (I know sketchy, but we were young and crazy-lol) in the end it ran great and we marvelled at how great that old 4,800 pound land yacht rode on brick streets and down back alleys, that thing sucked up bumps and holes like an ocean liner and rode like a cloud on the highway--! that was back in the early 70's, good times and no worries.
Thanks for showing us neophytes how you replace an engine+transmission in an old Civic. I found your channel years ago looking for a how to on brakes and I’ve been watching ever since for the information but also the entertainment. Thanks for sharing!
Been tuning in for more than 10 years now, each and every one.
...will end when you do.
Thanks for all these inspiring videos, i really am involved as far as a overseas viewer can be.
I appreciate that very much. Thank you!
Eric knocking those d series crank pulley bolts loose like it's nothing. What a hero 👌
I just cant explain how sweet this is.. this is all for his son. this just makes me so happy
I have no issue doing many repairs to cars, including swapping engines in late 60s Volkswagen Beetles. But this is a whole other ball of wax. Fun to watch, I learned a lot.
Civics are easier to work on than you might think. I did all of this in 2 days with filming easy. Thanks for the comment.
The Green 99 Civic! I learned so much from you working on this car in your other videos. My 99 EX is still kicking with 180,000 miles on it. Thanks Eric!
very useful video, Eric. Thank you very much, would like to see more of these. Love to see there are still people putting lots of love into these cars
That is a super video. You make everything look easy and most things are difficult to do. You made the car power train work like new.
Eric - I have been watching you since the beginning. I just wanted to sy Thank You for what you do! I love your videos and passion for making them. Have learned a lot through the years!
Thank you very much for watching all these years. I really appreciate it.
Am I the only one that never gets sick of Honda videos haha I sold mine abit ago and I still love watching these
Eric, you're a great mechanic. I'm learning new things from you. God bless you!!
Thank you!
I like the time lapse stuff you did here. Reminds me of a Hagerty Redline Rebuild video. I've been watching your videos for years and years. I love the Honda content!
Eric is the best mechanic out there im from uk and ive started studying mechanics and in my spare time i always watch your videos because its going to help me become like you 💯
Try watching South Maine Auto's. ECG mentions Eric O from SMA regularly. They are both very competent mechanics worthy of watching.
love 90s civics. have had a few.
I had one of these back in HS (90 civic) I really enjoy your clips Eric, keep em coming and hope you have a good day buddy.
Thank you. You too.
something so satisfying about watching those timelapses. feels like a spa day :D
Hey Eric, Gr8 vid. Brought back some long distant memories from my younger days.
Love the funky head lining modelled at the end on the test drive 😍👍😎
Very nice job. I started laughing when you were mentioning passing up service stations. My daughter just got her learner's permit. She has been driving my wife's Prius. I told her let's go to the service station. And she got the drive to 66 Mustang. No power steering no power brakes. 302 with a cam. I was laughing so hard. At the same time I'm going to have to go have the passenger seat surgically removed from my backside. I wish I would have ran video
Man I'm glad I found this channel, great stuff and great for therapy (disabled). Thank you Sir.
My very first car, that I beat on and learned how to drive in the snow, was a 1999 Civic VP in that same coral emerald green. I still dream about it. Thanks Eric!
Just because you have done something on your channel before should not stop you from making another video about it! We are here for the journey with you. :-)
Oh, yeah - over 30 minutes of an ETCG project; the top reason to love Fridays. Great quality as always - best visuals on RUclips.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I liked this one too. Always great to see you. Thanks for tuning in each week.
@@ericthecarguy No problem, Eric - never miss it.
I've never danced this much during an ETCG video.
I love to see people happy after a good job is done. Can tell you enjoyed this one. :)
Great video, very satisfying result. Thanks again, I never seem to get tired of these.
*THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AWESOME FATHER, ERIC*
Awesome, this is a great daily. I had a 98 for 5 years never had any issues. Thanks for the awesome video.
I never work on Honda's not do I have the desire to ever own one but I still love the education information/ purposes of videos like this
Nothin like a happy engine and transmission after a swap. Hope I'll be able to say the same one day for my pickup! Great seeing the Element in the background. I'll assume it's the current daily driver of choice. Thanks for another great vid Eric! Take care.
Your first Civic engine video (4 part series?) Gave me the confidence to do it myself! Great video as always
I hope your son appreciates all your hard work.
Awesome video, and great work Eric. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me coming back to your channel.
Thank you!
My brother had a previous model dxi. Great car. Loved working on it too. Broke the timing belt, flipped on a new one and on it went with more then 250.000 miles on it.
I have been looking forward to this video all week.
Thank you Eric for helping me fix my civic dx. It's funny because I go thru the same problem as hes videos..
Eric, you took the whole front end of the car apart so you can install a good engine and transmission because the previous engine overheated.
I can't believe that you are installing back old cooling hoses. This is the best opportunity to install new soft parts in the vehicle.
I'm always replacing parts for the coolant system on my cars, every 65 000 miles (100 000 kilometers). OEM coolant hoses, thermostat, thermostat housing gasket, radiator cap, serpentine belt, and even radiator drain plug with o-ring.
The hoses from the parts car were fine. No need to spend the additional money if I had good parts on hand. Thanks for the comment.
Love your videos. Thanks for putting them together. I know it's time consuming.
I learned a lot on watching your videos specially on Hondas, i am a big fan ever since, i own now a Civic 2017 M/T 2.0 it never let me down.
A big THANK YOU on sharing your knowledge with us. hope you do a video on newer Hondas specially Civic. Keep it up, stay safe and STAY DIRTY. ;)
I had one of those back in the day, in South Africa Honda was part of the Daimler-Benz group and locally manufacture by MB, they were called Honda Ballade and we had the top of the range model with a B18B4 engine, full leather interior, Grundig sound system etc. I loved my 1.8l 'civic'...
Thanks Eric for another great video , learned a lot as always . Be safe
Loved it👍, Thanks for sharing Eric👍
Indeed it's a happy car now, for thousands of happy miles ahead👍
Hi Juan over here, thanks for the tutorial video but one thing that I like most is the background of Latin music,yeah salsa😂👍🙏
Love the video! One thing I do to make things easier is keep the engine harness plugged up and just pull the harness from the ecu into the bay. That's the way the factory does it and it saves a lot of time and headache. 👍
Hey Eric long time viewer I'm Puerto Rican and that song that you played in a time lapse of the salsa is one of the best salsa songs of all time I don't know if you knew that but it was awesome to hear thanks for that keep up the good work
33min! Time to get a beer or two, it is evening here down under :).
Edit: For for an engine you had doubts about she purrs! Great job , great video.
SUPER! Just like the good ol' days, Eric!
I like your videos and your high quality skills as a mechanic..
Excellent video. It was fun watching you, especially the high speed parts where you’re mostly a blur. Good stuff!
Thanks!
I’m diggin these time lapse segments.
Good job! I have a black Duster 2015, earlier I was horrified that it could be stolen and I put in it all my savings, recently I took Car Alarm TX-100 - it really works, so no more panic on this account. Looks tiny, fancy, cool. I think it works for budget cars for sure.
Love these types of videos. What a great little car!
cheers for the share mate, you're a good dad!
Great video Eric , and love the lounge / elevator music too
Loved watching this, thanks! That engine idle sounds perfect. That's a good motor.
Glad to have you back bid bro.......boom
Your hardcore ETCG1!
Great video Eric! I love these style videos!
I recently moved to Indiana from Washington State. Talk about a change.. every car I work on is so rusted. You look at my Honda Civic. Little to no rust it's a tough adjustment tbh. Lol Not only that I never had to replace steel brake lines until Indiana.. lol the rust belt chews up cars for breakfast. Oxy acetylene torch is my best friend. Oh and my air hammer. 😉
Sounds good! Reminds me of my son's car and repairs I'm always doing.
Perfect timing as always mr.etcg
I have gone through 3 of those exhaust manifolds in my 2000 civic. I hated it so much, i saved up 5 bills and bought a carb legal magnaflow stainless steel manifold. Love it!
Good call on that one. Thanks for the comment.
29:14 that hellcat power pushes you into the seat!
haha Good job Eric!
Great video and AWESOME time lapse music 😁😁
Good to learn from the OG techs
Father of the year is Eric the Car guy:)
Sweet sounding engine and good acceleration for 95hp, happy days. 😊👍
I approve of your music choices Eric
Nice work Eric as always runs nice Thanks..
Good work Eric !
Good video.Always good info
Same thing happened to my 4.6, one of the heater core hoses just blew off. The thing was steaming for hours. But then just put the hose back with a legit screw clamp, luckily I didn’t melt my water pump.. everything was good and I got a free coolant flush!
Glad you mentioned Rich from DBG!
I'm proud to call him friend. He's also a great mechanic with a great channel. Thanks for the comment.
Hello USA always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
Fantastic Eric! Love your videos! 😁
I live in Central New York, so just as bad in Winter.
On my '88 Nissan, when I replaced all 4 brake lines & 2 fuel lines,
I deleted that same plastic cage that "protects" the lines;
maybe in Arizona from rocks, but here it's just a container
for the snow and highly corrosive melting agents they use here.
I've seen holes rot through where those guards are.
NiCop lines are a must around here- steel lasts maybe 3 years.
Many roads/highways in NY are horrible, loaded with dangerous debris,
plugged tires are common.
Great video , thanks, the ads are intense, Dern-it-all! " Gary in Oregon "
I watch these videos to relax 😅😅
That headliner would bother me so much... I know you are not doing a full restoration on this thing, but if the donor car has a better headliner I would switch it over.
The car sounds super happy though!
My only intention was to get it running so he could get it back to NY. He drove it back last week and the car is doing fine. If he wants to mess with the headliner, he can.
@@ericthecarguy
Staple gun is your friend.
Sincerely,
6' 1" guy who owned a few beater Prizm's and a Colt.
@@markwilliams2620 colt as in Mitsubishi?
@@markwilliams2620 does a staple gun really work?! I got a Mustang and ripped the head liner down and put glue everywhere and it lasted a week. I will have to try the staple gun.
@@ericthecarguy I was going to say maybe you could swap that over from the parts car as well as the sunvisors now that you have one I provided they have the same interior color
That T splitter for the cruise control vacuum will do the job just fine. I had to do the exact same thing after swapping out that shitty intake manifold to the y8 manifold. It's been a good 6 months now and no issues whatsoever.
Yay a repair videooo
PS
Too many scam shops around... This is why people avoid maintenance until everything breaks down
Great job, great mechanic..
Your green Element looking good man
Thanks for the video. Lots of work. I would go 1 stop further & replace the header in the car.
Eric You have done a good 👍 job on the old car engine and transmission replacement i love ❤️ your video 📷 the are the best ones I can't wait for the next video 📷 #GoodJobCarEngineAndTransmission
I feel bad for Eric Jeez.. Your kid's car would kill me if I was Eric... You the Man Brother
Love the time lapses!
