- How to Replace the Transmission on a 2003-2007 Honda Accord V6: • How to Replace the Tra...
In this video I show how to remove and replace the 6 speed manual transmission on a 2004 Honda Accord. The replacement is the same for the Acura TL and similar to the replacement procedure for the automatic transmission replacement in both the TL and the Accord. I was forced to replace my transmission because Midas cracked it when they changed my transmission fluid, and refused to claim responsibility. Typically you would replace the transmission from the bottom of the vehicle, but that is not possible without a lift. I show in this video, that it is possible to replace it from above. Please let me know if you have any questions about the process.
Also, shout out to Michael for being a pivotal help in getting this project done!: / @neesesworkshop

Should be noted that this video makes it look easier than it is, patience is key!
Very true. I don’t show all of the troubleshooting, which is most of the job! It’s a multiple day type of job as there will likely be some hiccups.
You heard it before, but here I say it, you are a god send bro. No one has made a video for reference on how to remove the trans on our accords until yours, and what incredible timing for me. here I am having to do the work this week xD. Thanks a ton man!
No problem! Let me know if you have any questions.
OH MY GOD. been looking for months for a video of this, you may be the first to ever post it. You are a god send. Where did you get your front lip spoiler?
I can confirm that I am the first to post something like this, haha. I too searched for details on this process on a 3.0. The front lip spoiler is a Honda factory performance spoiler from the factory.
Thank you so much man this video is like one of the only videos where it shows you in depth on how to do the 6-6. I'm not replacing my transmission but I need to replace the clutch. Any of the videos I have found are for the 5-speed 2.4. There is almost none for the 6-speed. Hopefully the job is easier for me because I'm just doing a clutch. I won't have to remove the coolant or coolant hoses i believe. I think I'll just have to remove the fan shroud and detach the CV axles then I might have enough room
Love the content! I have an 03 Accord 6-6 and cannot find a tutorial for clutch replacement ANYWHERE on CZcams. My only gripe is the engine bay, it needs a little TLC lol haha!
Keep up the good work man, this is an awesome video!
Nice video! @20:40 I noticed that you didn't pull the fork off the bottom of the strut (connecting to the strut lower control arm). That helps _so much_ and creates a ton of space (and the fork design means you can remove it with the axle in place, then work on the axle afterwards).
If you ever need to pull the axles again, _I believe_ you should be able to remove those forks, then undo the tie rod and lower ball joint, and leaving the upper ball joint attached, just swing the entire knuckle far enough to get the axle out, with the brakes and everything still mounted.
That said, I'm still intimidated by the transmission part of this job, so thanks again for the really helpful video!
Just did this on a 2005 Honda Accord with 2.4 liter and 5 spd manual. Just some additional removal of coolant junction stuff on the side of the engine, clutch and flywheel and it comes out rather easy. Transmission goes in today for a rebuild.
What coolant junction ?I remove just the top , lower coolant hoses and radiator
@@10sandovalallan I did not remove the radiator nor the fans and fan housings. The “coolant junction” is a piece that bolts onto the side of engine and that is where the coolant hoses convene.
Damm bro thanks for taking the time in making this vid my transmission took a s$$$ obd2 says torque converter but to do that I still need to drop it lol thanks bro
Thanks!
Thank you!! Glad it was helpful!
@36:00 if you have trouble tightening a ball joint, you can use a set of slip-joint pipe pliers to squeeze the two halves together with one hand while you tighten the nut with the other hand. In this case, it would be top jaw on the control arm, bottom on the knuckle, so the ball joint gets squeezed in between. It's basically the same idea as how you were pulling the control arm down before, but the pliers give you more leverage.
This video is very helpful to many people. My question is, you can replace your own transmission but took it to Midas for a fluid change???
I used to take it to Midas due to my busy work schedule, but I now do everything myself.
What has everyone else used for replacing the flywheel which option did yall go with
I'm in the middle of this and I went with LUK.
When reassembling the clutch to the flywheel, did u already have a alignment tool to keep the clutch plate centered, buy one, or use something else? Thanks.
I didn’t use one, but struggled a lot and wished I had one!
@@AJSWoodworks Thanks. Ur video has helped a lot!
@@michaelhagen2712 No problem! Glad it was helpful.
Did you drain the trans fluid at all? Or just pulled the trans off and it didn’t leak out of the axle holes?
Midas drained the transmission fluid for me when they cracked the drain plug. It took a while before I ended up replacing the transmission so it had all leaked out by then.
Please tell me this will work on 2011 coupe v6
Can’t say for sure, but you can always do what I did and see if it does!
To change the rear main seal and clutch, do I have to push trans out? Or can I push it to the side?
You should be able to push it to the side
@@AJSWoodworks Thanks
I'M having an issue with my car showing misfire on all cylinders, but the care runs good. Do you have any experience with that issue. Thanks in advance.
@@Lifesituations8000 I had that issue briefly when I drove through a lot of water, but it resolved on its own.
@@AJSWoodworks It is strange because it goes on and off
Can I take engine and transmission out at same time thru top
Yes, that would probably be easier space-wise.
Can this (remove transmission from the top) be done on a 2005 2.4 liter with 5 spd manual?
Yes, if anything, it should be easier since the engine is smaller.
I just replaced clutch, flywheel, throw out bearing by pushing the transmission out onto the subframe. The clutch was almost to the rivets at 157K miles. Got it all back together and I still have noise that disappears when clutch is fully depressed while in neutral. Reputable rebuild shop said based on that symptom, the issue is in the transmission.
Can I assume that if I got the transmission separated and out onto the subframe, that I can get it out the top by clearing the remaining junk above?
@@stephenmras8519 Yep, take out all of the “junk” above and it should slide right out. If you have difficulty getting it around the frame in the engine bay, you may need to take off the flywheel.
Thanks. I will note that I was able to remove both CV axles by detaching the lower ball joint and the lower yoke bolts. Push out the steering knuckle to create room for the outer CV axle to come through and clear the bearing hub.
Thank you for this video, as I was preparing for subframe removal without the benefit of a lift. I do have an engine hoist to get the transmission out.
What about an 05 acura TL 5 speed automatic
hi will be same for automatic v6 removal
Yes, but there will be more connections that I can’t speak to.
@@AJSWoodworks yes it was easy I removed the catalytic converter and radiator it was so easy thanks
bro can I ask u some questions. I'm doing a v6 automatic rn and the trans is hitting the frame when I take it out. Didy you take the flywheel out ?@@kingsbodyshopcollisionrepa9899
can u do this on 2014 honda accord?
The steps would be slightly different, but I don’t see why not.
How long did this take ?
About 5-7 full days, but I ran into some complications along the way. Without those, it would likely have taken me 3 full days.
What size was the axle nut???
36mm
@@AJSWoodworks does the 3.0L and 2.4L have the same transmission?
@@jamyonlove5029 no, they are not interchangeable.
@@jamyonlove5029 They have a different shape as well.
what is the total$$$$? thank you
Transmission: (depending on where you buy it) $450
Clutch and bearings: $500
Engine hoist rental: $50
Total: $1000
That’s without factoring in the tools, which I didn’t need to purchase as I already had what I needed.
It looks like he know what he is doing
You had a self adjusting clutch in there it should have been reset!
Only if you reuse the pressure plate. I had a brand new one. Also, the Honda instructions did not recommend it.
I did not notice that sorry.
Valuecraft!!😂 nooooooooo!
It was my only option unfortunately…
which mount did you have to remove. @ajswoodworks
The front engine mount and all of the tranny mounts
