How To Rebuild Honda Civic D17 Transmission | Manual Swap Part 2 | Project EM2

- čas přidán 23. 08. 2024
- What's up everyone! Today we're continuing the manual swap on the Civic EM2, and before we install the transmission, we need to rebuild it. The previous owner of the transmission had mentioned that 3rd gear did have a slight grind and it has over 200k miles on it, so it's a good thing we'll be replacing all of the synchros and bearings to make this transmission new again.

I just want to thank you for this video. My 2003 Civic EX has 253,000 miles, and the synchros badly needed replacing. I bought a carbon synchro kit from Synchrotech, and I watched a video about changing the input shaft bearing from Eric the Car Guy (awesome video for disassembly and reassembly to that point), but I didn't know how to take the gears off of the mainshaft and countershaft. You truly saved the day, and I thank you!
Some of my gears didn't slide off the splines as easily as yours (I had to use a puller), but knowing they would come off and weren't a solid piece with the shaft was huge! I also found it helpful when you showed how to put the circular wire thingies onto the synchro rings - once I understood how they worked, I could see that the synchros would not function correctly without them. I successfully changed out all the parts and re-installed my transmission two weeks ago, and now it works perfectly. You rock!!
Awesome to hear! Glad the video helped you out!!
Where kit came from
First off .. Great video.. I just did all the bearings including the diff ones you skipped.. They are not sealed bearings. On the bottom they are open just like the new ones. If you think of it. You want them to be open and taken in as much MTF as possible. Otherwise they would also seal up the bottom. Just wanted to share this because I almost thought about keeping them but now glad I changed out,
Thanks for this. I may have lost my trans after losing fluid with an unseated and torn CV axle, casualty of the engine swap I guess. Hopefully it'l be ok, but if not your video is a masterpiece. To a few below asking about 5th gear popping out, it's probably low fluid. Open the fill bolt (midway up and left from the drain bolt) and you should have fluid to the bottom of the hole sitting level.
Great video. Followed yours. I did mine because. Mine would not stay in 5th gear. Changed everything out put it back together just did a test drive. Still won’t stay in 5th gear. Feeling defeated today. Lol. I saw nothing wrong with the gears. Looked great. Back to the drawing board.
You end up figuring it out ?
If you use a heat gun on the case and put the bearing in the freezer, it will drop right in without a HAMMER.
Glad to see you back at it! Great video!
There’s also a TSB from Honda regarding clicking noise while turning right in second gear. Very common for the reverse idle gear to get sloppy make noise apparently. Heads up, just one of those ‘while ur in there’ things to check
Caled the gears in revers order, smallest gear is 5th big one is 1st. Other than that it was a really helpful video
Lol not gonna lie I said the same thing. The bicycle in the back should have told him that. But I'm about to rebuild my first transmission. Thanks for the vid.
No, he got it right. On the main shaft 5th gear is at the top and is the large one. On the COUNTER shaft, the gears are the opposite. Large on bottom, small on top. Still, fifth gear is the top on both shafts. Yes, I’m a mechanic. No, I’m not a keyboard warrior.
Should've given them shafts and gears a good cleaning before re install along with fresh lubrication. Your hands carry more dirt than you can notice, don't want to have any contaminants in there at all. If you have to clean when you take it apart clean it again when you put her back together.
this video is pure gold. thank you
Thanks to your video I was able to see where the Detent Springs go, for d 17a
Thanks 🙏
Perfect. This is such a great video, man!
It really is.i did the same thing to mine.
I finally got ahold of a D17 trans for a swap, about to tear into it, came back here to relearn.
Hi, I am rebuilding the transmission of my Honda Civic 2001 EX, may I know what is the rebuild kit that you mentioned and used in thsi video? Any recommended brand?
Thank you man! Keep doing what you're doing. Amazing work.
Man ive been following yall for a bit now and I really enjoy how detailed your videos are! Sadly my automatic just went out and I bought a used trans two days ago.... wonder how different it is to rebuild an auto compared to this manual..... again great video love your work. Thanks for sharing!
You did everything the right way man. I did the very same thing to mine except for the bearing underneath the diff..
You done ev correctly..the washer that sits between the bearing and shaft, how should it be place..i took my shaft out and fell off so i dont exactly how it was.i know it has a one side kinda push out than the ther side.if you could tell me which side to turn down i would appreciate it.
Going off personal experience, automatics are a nightmare. I rebuild one for a chevy. An old one at that. Had one check ball in the valve body out of place and smoked it in ten miles.
Thanks for this video. I just replaced my 2004 civic 5 speed with a “certified good used part” and it ALSO makes a bunch of noise in third gear. Drives just fine but I’m guessing these transmissions are bad for synchros.
Hey I was wondering what what kit you went with, I've been having issues with my transmission popping out of 5th. I would like to try rebuilding it. Your video was a great tutorial and was the deciding factor of my decision of doing it. I love the content and hope to hear back.
I put a link to the kit I used in the description of the video. I ended up finding it on eBay. I don't know if it's still available or not, but when I was looking most of the kits were only bearing kits. This one included synchros, bearings, and seals.
I have the same problem. 5 gear keeps popping out. Did you find out the issue? Please let me know! Thank you!
It's prolly the D10 bolts. Those 2 bolts are what keep your car in gear. Replace both those and it should fix the probldm
@@garychew3599 check your fluid, 5th is the first gear to pop out when it's low
@Austyn Schasteen what are the d10 bolts? Are those on the outside of the trans housing?
WOW, after I watched this video; I just had to subscribe.
Very nice job
Please tell me where did you buy that parts I have a call. I cannot find parts. Manual transmission
About to do mine tomorrow, have a 2002 ex 5 speed but I thought I would have a 5th gear detent spring but didn’t see change it in yours?
Thank you very much 🤟
I’ve been debating on doing this because my em2 won’t even go into 5th gear. I think gonna give it a shot now. How long did this take in real time?
It took us about 3-4hrs, but we probably could've done it in half the time if we weren't filming the whole process.
I have the same problem. 5 gear keeps popping out. Did you find out the issue? Please let me know! Thank you!
@@garychew3599 gears popping out are most commonly caused by worn out balls and springs on The bolts holding The forks in gear
@@l0r4kpl 03 Civic Hybrid with MT 250k+ miles, it pops out of fifth and bearly holds onto third. Looks like I'll have to find a kit that has new forks and springs in addition to the kit I see here.
Great video!!!! Thank you
hey boss love the content just want to know does the gear selector have a selector spring inside it?
great video!can i use this for a 2006 honda civic manual?i cannot seem to find one for the 2006 to 2011 series?
Hey! Where do you find that rebuild kit and what is the kit number? I couldnt find it!
I found it on eBay, and I have the exact kit that I used linked in the description of the video.
I noticed the ebay link is no longer available and I can't find a rebuild kit like this one complete with synchros. Any links for similar kits? Thanks
Commenting in case someone links
I just checked the link and it still worked. Says there's currently one available. Otherwise I don't know of any other kits aside from this one.
All state gear has them
Do you think it's necessary to replace synchro springs while it's all apart?
Next time don’t use a pick u can damage bearing. Use socket of equal size or mallet so impact is equally distributed.
Great video!
I’m planning to do it also coz my main shaft bearing sounds not normal. Maybe you can help me. Thanks!!
What cordless ratchet u using
Where you buy this kit rebuil??????
So hows the transmission? Any grinds?
My bad every video I've seen mentioned that first
Thank you I have an 02 d17a2 5mt u have to do seals so why not do it all like you have lol
That’s a bad ass video thanks. It will help me a lot. I have a question where do I can get the whole kit bearing to restore my transmission. any website. that you recommend me ?? Thanks.
Thanks! The kit that I used is from eBay, and I have it linked in the description.
@@AbnormalGarage thanks
How can I know the numbering of the rollers to buy them by vine
First off awesome video. I have a few questions tho. How's it holding up now and what brands were the bearings?
Thanks! And everything held up great for the time I owned it. Sold it awhile ago for a different civic, so I’m not sure what the current condition of the bearings/synchros are. I have the parts that I used linked in the description if you’d like to know more about the rebuild kit I used.
He forgot to mention keep it in neutral through the whole process
is any close ratio for D17 trans on market?
Where is the 5th/reverse dentent spring located?
I'm replacing a clutch on this same transmission....I found plastic pieces behind the axle shaft seals.....but don't see anything plastic in your video......any ideas?
That would be the fluid splash guide( I don't know thr exact name for it!) My little brother's had the exact same thing it sits in one side of the case I don't remember which side tho
If I've lost 5th gear and reverse (can't shift into them anymore), does that mean the issue is likely with the syncros? It has 460k on it.
Did you end up finding the issue?
You installed the bearing backwards
Is the motor a 1.7 vtec? Or is it the non vtec. I know the transmissions are a little different depending on the motor
The motor in the red Civic that this transmission is going into is non-vtec, but the transmission itself is off of a Civic that was vtec.
on the counter shaft, all four brass syncro are same size & same teeth?
There's only 2 on the counter shaft and they're different sizes. The input shaft has 4, and I believe they all have the same amount of teeth, but I think they were slightly different sizes. You'll have to match them up when you take it apart.
Doing this can fix a gear that pops out ?
Yes.
Me pueden achuda como cambia piñón de 4
wheres the part 1 for this
There's a playlist on my channel with all the EM2 content. You'll be able to find part 1 of the manual swap in there.
