Hi there, I have a 1999 automatic CRV that needs a rear diff replacement. Only ones I can find on ebay are from manual CRVs, can I replace my diff from my auto with the diff from a manual? same generation of car of course. Thanks so much
The differential was fine and did not need replacing. You found the real problem at 1:45 but since you do not know what you are doing you did not know it. It's called the "rear differential damper" and that's all it needed. Also, you can only use Genuine Honda Dual Pump Fluid in a Honda PERIOD.
Make sure you use new crush washers on the drain/fill plugs, and burnish the clutch after changing diff fluid. I would also recommend putting the lug nuts back on the studs if you're swinging a hammer to prevent thread damage, that way you can use a mini sledge vs a mallet.
What if you have burnished and changed fluid but still acts like plates are sticking together bad catching and releasing to the point you about can't give it gas motor won't over power it either
The fluid in my deferential (1999..CR-V) looks like Coffee with Cream (lite Mocha) coming out. I have changed it twice. Can water get into it. What is my problem? I got lots of noise too.
Will changing the fluid stop the howling when vehicle speed increases or can you rebuild it with all new bearings or is it easier just to get a whole new one
I noticed you just threw it on? No new seals no nothing ? Did the differential have any trouble or was it fine the way it was ? I ask because I’m getting a used differential and I’m wondering if going over would be overkill
That part you took off at 355. What is this part, what does it do and do you really need it. Mine has this same part worn out like yours. Replace it or trash it?
A little problem about spacer want to clarify . Have anyone try to install the spacer on rear wheel only on CRV rd1,Did that cause any problem or damaged to the differential work due to drive? I am planning to install a pair of 15mm spacer on rear wheel of my CRV rd1 so really want to clarify this matter.
spacer has nothing to do with the differential. If anything it may put just a little more stress on the wheel bearing. 15mm is pretty minimal for a spacer.
How can I tell if my rear differential has gone bad? You mentioned clunking noise. My drive shaft continues to spin while in drive gear with my foot of the brake pedal. Yes, makes a clunking noise while driving and continues to roll while in Park gear. Has 268K miles on the car. Thanks Gary
Hey I have a problem I started hearing a grinding noise from my differential I took off the shift and to eliminate the differential when I put the car in drive it wouldn't move do you have any advice, do I have to take off the differential for the car to move? It's a 1999 honda crv
Nice video bro! Question: i have a 97 crv and my user manual says to use atf fluid to rear differential but you use dual pump fluid, do you know this difference? Both work?
It's probably too late, but use DPF II. The manual can help a lot, but with my experience, it is not exactly accurate s lot of the time. Example: I changed out my CV axle and hub assembly, and the spindle nut alone was labeled 24mm, when it was 36mm. You should always look up other people's experiences when working on your vehicle.
Do 2nd gen and element diffs line up and have the same spline count for the 3 shafts?? I actually just noticed a rotating clicking noise under the center or near the rear upon load at lower speeds low rpm. Driveshaft or diff, I don't know yet 🤷
@@hondaresource i know for the diff fluid i was wondering how much I would need when I change the power steering fluid just got a crv so trying to do as much as i can
@@danielsmith6539 I don't honestly know the total capacity right off. I generally buy my Honda PS fluid at O'Reilly's since they are the only place I've found that carries quart size containers.
Hey kind of new to youre page. I've been having problems replacing my slave cylinder and liked the way you explained the valve cover replacement. Can you do a video on how to replace a slave cylinder for a first gen crv 5spd manual awd? P.s. nice work on the awd civic!!!
