2. Loosen the bolt at the bottom of the windshield washer reservoir.
3. Open the hood and use spacers to secure it in a vertical position.
4. Remove the air filter, resonator cover and air duct.
5. Remove the battery, battery tray, disconnect the wire clamps and remove the relay stand and battery bracket.
6. Raise the vehicle and drain the transmission fluid.
7. Disconnect the coolant hoses, disconnect the wires and remove the starter.
8. Mark and disconnect the connectors from the transmission, unscrew the connector bracket bolts and wiring cover, remove the cover from the transmission hook.
9. Unscrew the front engine mount nut and disconnect the vacuum tube located nearby.
10. Remove the upper transmission mounting bolts.
11. Remove the decorative engine covers.
12. Suspend the engine with 3 hoists, lifting it slightly.
13. Remove the lower engine shield.
14. Remove the front exhaust pipe together with the neutralizer.
15. Disconnect the stabilizer link and lower ball joints.
16. Loosen the bolts and remove the transmission control cable cover, loosen the bolt and disconnect the cable.
17. Move the cable cover to the torque converter housing by tightening the M6x1.0x14 bolt with a nut.
18. Remove the torque converter cover and unscrew the 8 torque converter mounting bolts one by one while turning the crankshaft.
19. Loosen the stiffener mounting bolts.
20. Remove the power steering hose mounting bracket and the power steering tube bracket, unscrew the steering gear mounting bolt. Remove the stiffener from the steering gear. -
21. Unscrew the bolts securing the rear propeller shaft flange.
22. Unscrew the power steering bracket bolts and release the tubes from the clamps.
23. Unscrew the lower transmission mounting nuts.
24. Mark the position of the subframe relative to the body, unscrew the bolts and remove the subframe.
25. Secure the passenger side end of the steering gear to the body using strong rope.
26. Remove the lower transmission mounts.
27. Disconnect the axle shafts from the transmission and from the intermediate shaft by prying them up and moving them to the side.
28. Loosen the bolts and remove the intermediate axle shaft.
29. With all transmission mounts removed, lower the transmission and carefully tilt the engine so that the transmission is clear of the subframe.
30. Place a jack dolly under the transmission, move the transmission so that it comes off the pins and lower it onto the jack dolly. If the torque converter does not move away from the drive disk, then move it towards the transmission through the starter opening.
31. Remove the repositioned cable cover together with the torque converter.
Installation
32. Pressurize the transmission coolant line with Honda fluid (or Kent-Moore) J38405-A (it is prohibited to use any other type of composition) with hot water. The concentration of the composition is 600 g/l, the flushing pressure is 5.5-8.3 atm. The flushing procedure is specified in the instructions attached to the composition.
33. Install the lower transmission support and tighten the bolts to 38 Nm.
34. Install the torque converter on the transmission shaft, replacing the ring.
35. Install 14 and 10 mm guide pins into the torque converter housing.
36. Place the transmission on a jack and raise it to engine level. Position the transmission in place and tighten the bolts evenly to 64 Nm.
37. Install the front support bracket, tighten the bolts to 38 Nm.
38. Install the stiffener and tighten the bolts to 38 Nm.
39. Tighten the 8 bolts securing the torque converter to the drive disk. Tighten the bolts evenly in 2 stages, stage 1 - with a torque of 6 Nm, stage 2 - with a torque of 12 Nm. After tightening, check the freedom of rotation of the torque converter.
40. Install the torque converter housing cover.
41. Check the tightening torque of the flywheel bolt, which should be 245 Nm.
42. Install the cable and cable cover.
43. Install the axle shafts, replacing the retaining rings.
44. Install the subframe, aligning the marks made during disassembly (lift the subframe with a jack, placing wooden blocks between it). Tighten the bolts to the torques indicated in the photo and at the end of this Chapter
45. Tighten the lower transmission mount nuts.
46. Install the power steering tube bracket.
47. Secure the propeller shaft to the transmission shaft flange.
48. Install the stiffener on the steering gear and tighten the bolts to a torque of 58 Nm.
49. Tighten the steering gear mounting bolt and secure the power steering pipe clamp to the bracket.
50. Install the removed stabilizer bar, attach the ball joints.
51. Install the front exhaust pipe, replacing the gasket.
52. Install the lower engine shield.
53. Install the upper transmission mounting bolts and tighten them to 64 Nm.
54. Install all other removed parts in reverse order, connect the cables and wires. When finished, fill the transmission with fluid (see Ch. 1) and check the front wheel alignment angles. Warm up the engine. Drive it, then loosen the engine mount nut and tighten it again to 54 Nm.
