I am replacing the 2.2 v tech in my 97 accord ex. Is it possible to do this without removing the auto transmission? If so can someone give me some advice on how to go about this? I think I have all the engine mounts apart and all of the trans to engine bolts out and also the flexplate bolts from the flywheel but i can't get the engine to seperate from the trans. Please help me. Thanks

 

its far easier just to pull it with the tranny attached, and then mount it to the new motor outside of the car, will save tons of time and aggravation

 

Yeah i was just about to say that.. Saves a big headache.. And its better to assemble it out of the car. Just get a good engine hoist.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Just trying not to have to take the axles out and everything

 

will be easier to take the axles out than to have to disconnect the transmission then have to reconnect it with it in the car

 

This is my first honda and my first time doing an engine. Thanks for your input. I have been posting on other honda forums with no avail and I'm getting answers with my first post on here. Now this is what I'm talking about. Thanks again

 

yeah we are normally pretty quick, we have a few members that seem to be on almost all the time(must have boring jobs that allow them to search the internet)

 

Gotta love the Iphone. And a combo of no life Cameron. lol

 

Oh I am always on because I have no life lol, and there isnt really anyone here to talk cars with.
