DIY DC5 RSX Transmission/Clutch Replacement.(One person method)( 

Yo man, thanks for showing the wrestling match getting that sucker back on, pretty much nobody shows that, much props!

Bro...I watched every RSX transmission removal video out there and yours is by far the best. Not only is your removal method the best way, but your explanation and shots made everything easy to follow. Felt like I had a coach right there with me. It took some time but got a new clutch installed and a Civic Si LSD. To echo what others are saying, your a beast getting that sucker back in by yourself. I tried with the jack but couldn't line it up to the right angle. What worked for me was to put some 2X4's over the engine bay and have a helper hold the trans weight with straps (there even 2 places to clip it in) over the 2X4's and then I could line up and get that first bolt through. My track RSX is stored away for the winter (Canada) but now I can watch the rest of your videos in preparation for the spring.

Killer video! Been fixing cars professionally since 2003 but been about 8 years since doing a clutch on a k20 dc5, doing mine at home on my back as cant be assed taking to work to rush the job. This way has been epic on my own on my back!

Gotta give you credit. You did it. Using a mini jack too. Great job.

26:28 Bro youre a beast doing it alone it was such a pain putting it back on it was 3 of us with a jack it took a whole hour. For a second i thought of just junking the car and getting a new one i was so frustrated. Mega thumbs up to you!!

Yo, just did the clutch on my Type S on Saturday and your video was the most helpful. My axle nuts were seized so this method was perfect, lol.

THANK YOU for showing the actual struggle of working solo and with limited tools.

Damn good DIY man. Thank you. I’ve never done a job this big but now my transmission is on the ground and I’m waiting on a TOB and intermediate shaft to come in.

Man this helped so much doing this by myself and this video saved me lol thanks

Your video was a great reference in my transmission swap. For any dc5 manual trans it'll work for those wondering

Best part of it all, “you saved money on labor “ nice vid

I appreciate the video I actually work in an automotive shop. And I have access to all data and stuff but doing a job at home is very different than doing it in a shop so thanks a lot. Also it might be worth mentioning an alignment would not be a bad idea after you remove the strut bolts. But I do think your way is better because you don't have the rotor assembly and stuff in your way while you're sitting on the ground fighting the transmission.

Awesome DIY👍🏾👍🏾

Whelp, I've decided that I'm not going to tackle replacing my clutch myself. Good work man.

May be a good time to install new axle seals also, better to spend the extra $35 than have them leak after or later. Good video, may do the clutch in my '05 ep3 soon.

You the man bro

Is this close enough to doing it on an ep3? I gotta do it soon as the clutch gets here. By myself and all.

Bro I envy the fact that at about 28 min you had someone offer help and you were all about the solo.

How do I remove the camber bolts if they are really tight? I tried using a breaker bar but it doesn’t seem to work.

I’m trying tomorrow, ep3 si

I have a question, at 8:45 of the video, you mention you didn’t have to take out the axle nut and just removed the lower strut bolts, but later in the video I see the rotor and hun totally removed. Is that just one side or both side removed?

Hey if you pause at 16:11, where the intermediate shaft goes into the trans, there's an elongated hole on the right side that looks like a rip or crack and you can see inside. Is that normal? I just noticed that on my rsx and I'm thinking that it ripped but it looks exactly the same on this vehicle.

How long does this take solo usually??? Planning on doing mine at around 95k to 100k miles

Did you drain the transmission before removing it?

MESSAGED YOU ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM THANKS G

I seen that ankle monitor 😅

Sergmotive :)

Nice video but am I the only one who notice he got a ankle monitor on ?

Hey is that hole supposed to be there ? @16.29

That’s dangerous and way too much work tho for 1 person I’ll just pull complete from top noo need for extra work
