Great content.From sunny Scotland. Just proves, you don't require the highest quality of tools to carry out this sort of job. Well done lad, credit to you. FAB
Thank you...cheers to you
It is usually good practice to replace the rear main oil seal when doing this job, especially if the car has over 160,000 kms. It's an easy sub-task if the engine and transmission are already separated for clutch/transmission service but a piss off if all else is good.
Good advice...thank you
4:10 I found that the alignment tool that came with the Exidy clutch kit was a real snug fit in the pilot bushing. So much so that it would "pop" when I pulled it out. These tools usually have a tiny bit of play so you can slide them in and out easily. Not in this case.
Yes, there is always a few obstacles on a big job like that. Little things that should take seconds turn into hours…. Is your car back on the road?
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox Yes but only temporarily. You can read about my issue here on the Element Owners Club: www.elementownersclub.com/threads/element-with-bad-5-speed-manual-transmission.167503/#post-1722396 I need another transmission or perhaps buy a repair sleeve/over-sized release bearing kit. Bummer.
me and a friend are getting ready to do this on my element for the first time any advice. We plan on using your videos for reference and we are also going to link to your video from ours. Because with out your video i have been scared to do it since we dont have a rack and stuff and we would be doing it just like you in our garage.
Its a big job, for dismantling the use of penetrating oil is a good idea specially if the car shows rust, if I would have do it again I would get an engine hoist to make the job easier and save my back. Also take lots of pictures for reference, be careful not to damaged any wiring harness. Check out advice from Element owner forum and ETGC forum. keep in mind that my clutch installation went pretty smooth you may face challenge not cover in this video. Good luck with your project.
Clutch disk still looked good. What happened? 2:22 Did you reuse the original flywheel bolts and apply LocTite to the threads or buy new and apply LocTite like you did with the pressure plate bolts at 3:45? I'm contemplating this task with my 05 Element (with an Exidy clutch kit from Rock Auto) so any tips would be appreciated. 7:27 That is an amazing tip with the long bolts used to guide the transmission into place! Thanks!
The oil pan was leaking and oil somehow contaminated the clutch disk...I tend to over do it. So I replaced all the bolts with new one and medium strength loctite all of them. Check your motor mounts while your at it for replacement or not, oil soak all your bolts before removal, be patient and have fun.
Cheers
Enhorabuena. Buen trabajo si señor.
Gracias, amigo
Excellent!loved the video!
Thanks for the feedback Joe
Excellent video, thank you very much for sharing it , l Would like to see it in spanish..
Thanks for the feedback, sorry no habla espanol
4:48 Factory torque spec is 19 ft-lbs for the pressure plate bolts. You said that then changed to 25 ft-lbs. Was there a TSB change?
Pressure plate mounting bolt torque
25 N-m (2.6 kgf-m) or 19 lbf-ft
Different scale reading same torque
Perfect! Thank you for clarifying.
I would love to know how that exedy clutch feels. My Element is stuck on the driveway until I chose which clutch to go with. Any feedback on the way it turned out would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the video
After almost a year of driving, its been perfect. It feels the same has my other Element with the original clutch at 120000 miles
Sticks, Stones and iron Thanks for the info. I’m putting the same one in this weekend. Didn’t want to go with something to cheap.
Cheers
What are the torque specs for the four subframe bolts? Perhaps German (goodentite)? Thanks.
Replace with new 14x1.5 mm torque @ 76 lbf-ft
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox Only 76 ft-lb? LOL, mine were so rusted in I needed over 200 ft-lb to back them out. Gotta love owning an old car in Canada, eh?
Yup rust and road salt is brutal
What is needed to convert a Honda Element from Automatic to Manual? (Besides the transmission)
Not 100% sure, I never plan that conversion. For sure 3 different mounts for the transmission, a flywheel, linkage and plate for the stick shift (and a stick shift). I'm guessing different wiring harness for the transmission, new CPU or reprogram the existing one, a transmission stiffener. I believe all drive shafts and propeller are the same....sounds like a fun project.
@@JoeBakerOutsideTheBox oh ok... Im looking at buying a 04 Element with a bad auto trans for 1500 & i really want a manual one but they're pretty pricey
@CottageOnWheels ok... Thanks!
Does the front bumper cover have to be removed ?
According to the tech book, no. I just think it's easy enough to remove so less chance to damage it
