In this video I remove the engine and automatic transmission from the 2000 Honda Civic I picked up from Pull-A-Part a couple of weeks back. I’m hoping the transmission is still good. After removing the engine and transmission, I spent some time cleaning the ‘new’ transmission with some degreaser and a pressure washer. Check out the video to see the results.
I hope you find this information useful!

Always great to see a new ETCG video pop up on the cellphone. You seem to be looking happier, Eric - that's really good to see. You certainly made light work of those driveshafts - you didn't even need a slide hammer! We always get great photography in an ETCG video; we get to see every bolt in detail. Still the finest company; still the best on RU-vid.

Honda axles are easy. Some makes, not so much. A trick is to rotate the axle about 1/4 turn and retry if they're being difficult. Sometimes all you need to do is reposition the C clip. A pleasure to see you in the comments as always. Thank you!

I had to knock the second driveshaft out by hitting on it over the top of the spider gears in the transmission.

@ericthecarguy 4 года назад

If you remember I ended up installing a reman transmission in the Odyssey, not the one I rebuilt. Also, not worth the time and expense. If it works, great, if not, I'll get another one. You see how easy they are to remove in this video. This only took about 45min.

@ericthecarguy 4 года назад

You need special tools and equipment to rebuild automatic transmissions. Not to mention it's also good practice to test them on a transmission dyno before installation to make sure everything works correctly.

My son's vw Jetta 2013 2L went into garage last month and had the engine changed. Every thing went well, but after that every time he refill the gas tank, he had to crank for one minute to start the car. Then the car went back to normal again. Last week, he couldn't start the car in the parking of Macdonald, and the car was towed back to the garage. They checked and told us the battery is 7 years old and fuel pump needs to be replaced. I let them changed fuel filter only and bought a new battery and changed it myself, but now the car is running weak. I guess we need to change the fuel pump now. We spent 3000 Canadian dollars to change the engine and accessaries and now we have to spend another 500$ the change fuel pump. Can't understand so many parts broke at the same time.
