I'm in the process of fixing my hatch and I've already purchased all the big parts needed for the fix. I will be replacing the tranny with another one along with a new press. plate, clutch and flywheel. Now;

1. Does the tranny need some type of sealant between the bellhousing and the motor or is it just a dry fit? My guess is no since there are no fluids there but just in case.
2. Where can I find a transmission diagram? I already have all the torque specs but a diagram would be nice to have.

Any other pointers on what should I do or change while I'm in there? I already got a new throwout and pilot bearing.

Thanks in advance.

 

Nope, no sealant necessary. Just bolt it up. I have a hayes manual for an integra LS. I dont know how different that would be from your motor and transmission but thats all i used when i changed my flywheel and clutch.

 

Don't forget the pack the throw out bearing with Honda urea grease.

 

Gotcha.

Thanks

 

If you're going to have the transmission out and replacing the clutch/flywheel, might as well replace the rear main seal.

 

He is absolutly true on the aspect... if you have it own you might as well befor it gives you problems later on....
