2007 Accord Clutch R & R
 

Straight to the point.... Wifey torched my clutch and I'm looking into replacing it myself.

I have replaced rear wheel drive clutches on older cars, 80's and early 90's. I've rebuilt a couple motors when I was in high school back in the late 80's. So I do have the ability to do this kind of work, but I've never dug into a newer car like this before. Am in over my head? Do I need any special tools to R & R a front wheel drive clutch? I plan on doing it in my garage over a weekend.

A manual would be nice too, but I don't want to buy one, and I can't seem to find anything online.

You will invest perhaps 20-30 hrs of your personal time to complete this job (my guess, others may have different opinions). Why wouldn't you consider spending $75 on a honda shop manual. At least purchase a Haynes manual ($20). It will also describe the necessary steps.

Yes, you should be able to do this job.

good luck

Thank you for your help! I did order a manual, for only $20, didn't realize they were so cheap.

I've found a few clutch kits online, the problem is they range in price from $300 to $400. I don't want poor quality, but I don't need high performance grade either...

I did a little more research on this and I'll be able to do this...

You can buy OEM parts for <$400, even w/ a flywheel replacement. Flywheel may need replacement if it was overheated.

good luck
