Your video is very informative and very fast paced. I love the fast paced theme of it though. You get straight to the point and explain everything. I am planning on doing a f20b swap into my 2000 accord and this actually helped me out alot. thanks!
Well wrench I'm pretty hard on videographers when I critique their work. Your's is good. You cover a lot of information without a lot of wasted time or constant repeat information. You did miss a few points and your camera work could stand some improvement but I still gave you a thumbs up. You earned it.
thanks for the criticism. my newer videos seem to have been getting better. ive also stepped up to a newer better camera setup aswell. thanks for the support
I guess you used two people to help you put the transmission back in. I wish I could have seen how you put it back in. I’ll probably use a engine hoist and floor jack. I wish you hadn’t left out that part. I appreciate everything you’ve done here. Thanks for all of your help. Great job!
yep 2 ppl for sure. I used a floor jack under the tranny, with a plate hooked to top of jack that I made just for that purpose, with straps around the tranny. look at a transmission jack, and you can weld up something or even use boards to make one out of your regular floor jack
wish you luck. hardest part was freeing the axles up. and the stubborn bolts on the radius arm. make shure you have an extra hadn to lift and reinstall the tranny.
@@Wrenchlife604 Oh yea, success. thanks! New clutch installed. 2 things (not sure if it was covered in the video), but need to release the 2 bolts that hold the exhaust just in front of cat converter and also detatch the o2 sensor plug to cat converter. I found that plug thing out the hard way. took er for a test drive and had check engine light, p0141 code. wire pulled loose out of the plug, but it was easy enough to snap it back in.
make shure u remove the hidden bolt by the axle hole . if it still dostn seperate. you might need to slip a flat head screwdriver and hammer it to pry the trans away from the engine. usualy the trans gets stuck on the dowels. and can sieze on the dowels
nah the v6s automatics are a nightmare to pull. did a acura CL v6 auto trans which i believe is the same chasis as the accord. with an automatic you have to remove the shift cable which is kinda tricky not hard, the shift solnoids connectors which are easy to damage and expensive. also you will need to remove the torque convter bolts which isnt a problem either. just more steps . think the problem i encounted was removing the front subframe with radius arms out , plus it will have another mount on the front. wasnt a fun job. i wouldnt recomend a beginer do it at home
I had both the f23 manual transmission with the h22 engine. Before i upgraded to a h22 tranny. Yes it will work. A h22 tranny would be a better option for preformance.
@@Wrenchlife604 would you suggest i get a floor tranny jack and use the regular jack for support , or does 2 regular jacks and maybe a 2 by 4 work just as well?
what if the transmission doesnt separate? I have everything off but my transmission seems stuck on! Im working on a 2001 accord. Its not just a really strong gasket which has set like glue is it? Any help?
There is no gasket between the engine and trans. You most likley still have a bolt still in. Check the bellhousing bolt by the dricer axle hole. I always seem to forget that one
@@Wrenchlife604 Ok I did manage to separate it now but got a major issue. Its separating but not coming off. I left it in gear before I started everything is that the problem? or am I not pulling it out far enough
Honda manual transmission fluid is recomended. 15 years ago. The shop manual would recomend to use engine oil. Id recomend to use honda genuine manual transmission fluid. If you can
I'm kind of new to the honda's and i feel like i don't know shit about them lol. My question is what transmission would you suggest to use on a 2001 accord with a f23a4 stock.
If its stock . No point of changing it out. I realy like the h22 trans over the factory accord one for its quicker acceleration. Beware tho. Because is 5th gear at highway speeds. It cruises at a higher rpm
@@scion46 oiled is the way to go. Take a look into electric impacts tho. I heard milwaukee .makes some nice stuff. And it might be cheaper then buying a air hose. Compressor and air tools
Nope. Nothing inside needs to be touched. 5:50 i show how easy it is to remove the 2 shifter linkages and thats all that connects the trans to the shifter
stock axles. stock half shaft. used this setup with the factory accord f23 trans, and used the same setup on my new h22a4 ( m2y4 shorter gear trans) didnt have to buy shit
Wrench life 604 yea man, it's a automatic tho. I was debating on getting the same f23a swap with trans for $650 or going h. It's up in the air right now. or even a f20b swap.
f23 swap would be kinda worthless. either h22 or f20b would be a good choice. did an auto to 5 speed swap a few years back on a civic and that sucked to source parts from.
the engine is a h22a4. the swap is fairly easy but isnt quite plug and play. i have a walkaround video on my channel. fastfarward about half way through the video and i talk about the swap and whats involved. i think i might make a video on what is needed and the steps needed to swap a h series into a accord
I saw you mentioning about the dizzy wiring, where did you find the info on that? Are the ecu plugs obd2a or obd2b? Does that motor have the secondary butterflies in the intake manifold? Did all the mounts bolt right up?
yah the dizzy wiring has to be converted everything else wires up. all the mounts line up except for the driver side timing belt side upper mount. they make a conversion bracket which is less than $40. im not running secondary butteryflys, because im running a chipped obd1 ecu. running a ob2b to obd1 vtec 5 speed civic ecu running a h22 basemap that was cleaned up with a street tune
CAI = cold air intake. alot of people call it SRI aswell for short ram intake what it technically is. pretty much tubeing and a filter so call it whatever you like ;)
Wrench life 604 How do you figure you're pulling in air from a hot ass engine bay? What you have there is a SRI short ram intake. To get CAI you must be pulling cooler air from the outside be it by isolating the filter and routing cooler air in to it or by routing the filter outside of the engine bay. SRI will give you a little better throttle response and might or might not give better fuel economy, CAI will give you better throttle response and might or might not give you more HP.
I’m trying to drop an automatic transmission out of my 98 accord 4 cylinder. Everything seems to be the same as the manual pull. I can’t seem to get it out though. I have it dropped on a slant and it separated from the engine, it seems to be stuck on the fly wheel, do I need to take the bolts off the fly wheel? If so. How do I do it now that I already took everything apart?
You have to unbolt the lower inspection cover on the trans and unbolt the torque converter bolts. Watch my video on removing a crv transmission. I show how to do it. Make shure u support the trans too.
dude ive done work all over my bimmers... i hate hondas fuckin too many bolts and too many this and thats kms.... TY FOR video... ill be using some shudder fix LOL
You shake the camera around way way way too Damm much it gave me a headache. You talk too fast and you don't even let your camera focus on what ever it was that you intended to show at all times. So I can't see the steps your taking cause this is a shaky band blurry video.
@@Wrenchlife604 why are you fucking so rude? I am just saying that I do not like your video, why are you verbally attacking my family? You are such a scum bag.
Hello I need help I replaced my transmission with a newer one with only 30k mikes on it, and everything went well and I put fluids and all that, but after the install, it turns on but once you shift it to the other gears it won’t shift into the other gears, and when I put it to park it makes a loud grinding noise. Any idea what it can be?

ERROL DILLON yah use 2 people to out it back in. One to bench press it up other to guide it and thread a bolt in

Just saying thanks for this information and demonstration. I have a 98 accord and I have to attend to the transmission. Yours is a great insight.
Multiple lines of coke were taken in between shots

Gonna need a strong impact and or PB blaster and a long ass breaker bar .
Have you got the/a video of you putting it back in by any chance ?
I have done all your steps but my trans still inst sperating any idea I have all the bell housing bolts off etc everything you covered I'm clueless rn
make shure u remove the hidden bolt by the axle hole . if it still dostn seperate. you might need to slip a flat head screwdriver and hammer it to pry the trans away from the engine. usualy the trans gets stuck on the dowels. and can sieze on the dowels
Bro thanks!! I gotta do this very same job for a buddy of mine, I’m very mechanically inclined and I like how you did this. ✊🏾💪🏾💪🏾
how did it go ? what trans did you use, accord,prelude ? any troubles ?
My Accord01 vtec is kind of acting up on first shift it's automatic you think the trans need to be replaced
I have a V6 in my 02 Accord and need to remove the transmission to replace a leaky main seal. Is the process basically the same?
Automatic or standard? Pulling the axles will be the same.
Automatic
nah the v6s automatics are a nightmare to pull. did a acura CL v6 auto trans which i believe is the same chasis as the accord. with an automatic you have to remove the shift cable which is kinda tricky not hard, the shift solnoids connectors which are easy to damage and expensive. also you will need to remove the torque convter bolts which isnt a problem either. just more steps . think the problem i encounted was removing the front subframe with radius arms out , plus it will have another mount on the front. wasnt a fun job. i wouldnt recomend a beginer do it at home
did he say use 10w30 oil in that Trans ?
Yup. Still the same fluid thats in it. Today
@@Wrenchlife604 so h22 and f20b are the trans numbers ? or should i get automatic prelude?
So to go from auto to manual I don’t need anything but that sensor and the tranny?
That was a 5 speed manual i removed and installed a 5 speed manual from a prelude. Auto to manual is alot more work and more parts
@@Wrenchlife604 i a Honda at a junkyard has the tranny ima go check it out today hopefully everything is there
Just add to that question i have 2000 honda accord 2.3l 4cyl the engine is F23A1 but i got transmission from engine F23A, do you think it will work?
I had both the f23 manual transmission with the h22 engine. Before i upgraded to a h22 tranny. Yes it will work. A h22 tranny would be a better option for preformance.
what should i use to tilt/support the engine?
Use a 2nd jack and a peice of wood. If you dont have another jack. Borrow one from the spare in the trunk of another vehcile
@@Wrenchlife604 worst case, you think i"ll be able to get away with only using one jack?
For the front mounts yes. You might need a 2nd jack for the rear mount. Forgot how i did it. Might show how i the video. Its been a while
@@Wrenchlife604 would you suggest i get a floor tranny jack and use the regular jack for support , or does 2 regular jacks and maybe a 2 by 4 work just as well?

How works stocks brakes with the H22a? Must improve?

20-25 gallon.

@@Wrenchlife604 I'm assuming the corded ones would be best. I don't think a cordless has the power to remove and and tighten nuts onto tires
Do some research and see. I got both. And both work.
Does anything need to be done inside with the shifter?
Nope. Nothing inside needs to be touched. 5:50 i show how easy it is to remove the 2 shifter linkages and thats all that connects the trans to the shifter
How long did it take to get the existing trans removed?
4-5 hours maybe. My front cross member bolts where rusty and they fought me for a bit
Can the 96 trans work on the 99
For a manual. Yes. i believe so. Double check tho
So what axels are you using with the h22? I'm going to do this swap as well.
stock axles. stock half shaft. used this setup with the factory accord f23 trans, and used the same setup on my new h22a4 ( m2y4 shorter gear trans) didnt have to buy shit
awesome thanks bro
man I just picked up a 01 cg3...i might have to do this soon.
