A good upgrade for v6 accord is get a 3.7 intake manifold and throttle body off a 2012 rl or any Acura with a 3.7 in it they flow better and the throttle body bigger

[@Monstertrollerkid]

It’s funny cuz I work at Honda. The 4 cylinders are a breeze, remove subframe super fast no problem. Let the mounts hold everything up. But the v6, Honda bolts the mount to the subframe, so you gotta use an engine hanger to hang the engine.

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah exactly! It sounded like a huge PITA

[@Monstertrollerkid]

@@_Gingium_ yeah it is and it’s honestly pretty sketchy if you don’t know what you’re doing

[@packerman1203]

I pulled my crosstour’s j35z2 in my driveway on jackstands. Engine mounts bolted to the subframe isnt a big issue and makes it pretty easy to drop the whole thing as an assembly like every modern car or even body on frame vehicle now so long as you have a lift to leave the car on and a big cart to catch the subframe

[@Monstertrollerkid]

@@packerman1203 well yeah but when you’re doing just a transmission job, its always more ideal to be able to take just the transmission off and leave the engine seperate

[@Monstertrollerkid]

@@packerman1203 obviously if your doing an engine job then dropping everything as a unit is ideal

[@camerongsx9122]

Depending on how a car is driven, a clutch can last hundreds of thousands of miles. It is a wear surface that only gets worn when it is being slipped to take off. My VW TDI had over 500,000 on it with the origional clutch. But it was really only ever driven on the highway, so it didnt change gears often. Meaning the clutch didnt really receive any wear when it say at highway speeds for 8 hours a day.

[@brianbrians3157]

Yeah I was gonna say if it was mostly highway miles its possible.

[@ClutchMastersIndustries]

Awesome! Car is looking great. That is wild you can complete a clutch and flywheel swap on that thing without completely removing the transmission. Thanks for the support and all the positive feedback!!

J37 intake manifold and throttle body might be a nice small upgrade for the j30 with ported runners

[@packerman1203]

J37 manifolds are basically the same as the 08-12 accord v6-6. If you want a bit of a bigger manifold then the 13-17 accord v6 ones will do but clearance for the p/s pump is an issue because they all had EPS and there’s no butterfly valve controlling the internal runners. The zdx throttle is always a good upgrade for any drive by wire honda.

[@apollonitro4802]

The cleanest accord on yt

[@dmanatan]

I changed the clutch on my 7th gen Accord 6 speed without removing the subframe. You're the only other person I've seen do this. The trick is drop it in from the top and to have a spare alignment tool and cut it down to about 4". It'll fit right in and hold the flywheel in while you do the rest. Oh, when I went to replace the rear main seal I discovered whoever did the clutch the last time just sealed it with RTV......

[@Jedimaster9700]

I also have a 05 V6 6SPD accord coupe! Just about all the same mods (plus some) and so stoked to see these videos! Another thing to help the drivetrain, the OEM Honda CMC have a tendency to fail. Hybrid racing also makes one from the 02-06 RSX, which is the same part number for the 7th gen! Bolts right in no problem and gives a smoother clutch engagement. Good luck at the track brother, excited to see the results

Those honda clutches last forever. My aunt gave me her 05 5 speed manual accord when I went to college and that thing had 230k miles on it with the original clutch. I replaced the clutch bc that's wayyy too sketchy but that original clutch did not slip once and I know for a fact that she never got the clutch replaced. Brakes and fluid changes were the most amount of maintenance that car had until I got it

[@joeyphanthao5581]

Making me miss my old 7th gen. Clean build man. If you haven't already, look up "check valve delete" for the clutch slave cylinder. Also swap to AC Delco friction modified transmission fluid. 7th gens like it better than Honda MTF, made my transmission smoother than Honda MTF. AV6 is one solid car, need me another Jseries.

I bet that stock clutch did have 190k on it. I just did my 2006 V6 sedans clutch at 174k miles and it wasn’t slipping, but was having some issues. It’s funny that I stumbled upon your channel (looking for all things Honda). As I was watching your accord build videos, I realized we live near one another (recognized the road you were test driving on). Look for a grey 2006 V6 6MT accord sedan or a blue 2024 Integra Type S. That’ll be me.

This is a sick build man, I had a 05 TL that I built a few years ago, that car was stupid fun and did 140 down the highway

[@jaminemerson847]

Would definitely drop the whole subframe next time. Just so much easier to do the clutch like that. I've done it both ways on different cars and dropped the subframe twice on my 04-6 speed. Wouldn't do it another way. Awesome to see some easy mods like that done to one of these. Looking forward to the track video!

[@NathanM007]

From the comments ive read with a lot of people saying theyre on their stock clutches makes realize that if you see a car for sale and it says “clutch replaced at x mileage” and its doesnt have a lot of total mileage means they either cant drive stick or just launch the shit out of it. As for my car, i bought it at 150k km, its at 220k km now and i havent changed my clutch.

[@Jo_Speed]

On the J32 in the TL you can take the trans out with dropping the engine or subframe but for a long time I believe no one had did it that way. Someone had a clip of them doing it but dropping it all seems like the best thing if you want to refresh the engine while it was out. Timing assembly/water pump. Is doable in the engine bay but man it kind of sucks.

[@Vaino_Hotti]

I remember a coworker got a 2014 Accord diesel brand new as a personal company vehicle, got the original clutch replaced at 480k KMs (~300k miles). Mobile IT technician, he did ALOT of highway driving.

[@TomFooleryGaming]

If the OG owner knew what he was doing, it could very well have the original clutch in it, and it might not even be near the end of it's life! I know more than a dozen people that have taken their Hondas and Toyotas beyond 400k miles on the stock clutches.

Fun fact about Hybrid racing . I ordered their shifter assembly and when it arrived I got charged another $150 for delivery so I declined the package and sent it back . They informed me I had to pay another $75 for a restocking fee . I dispute it with visa and they lied to visa and said they never received the package back and that I had indeed signed for it and still had it . Visa found out shortly after that Derek from hybrid racing received and signed for the return and just wanted to scam me out of money because he wasn't getting paid another $75 to put a box back on the shelf ... 10/10 would recommend Acuity instead 👍

I got 175k miles on an original clutch on my Ep3 Si. I even threw boost at it and it held up for nearly 20k miles. Once the clutch obliterated itself I upgraded it- and the transmission to a Type R 6 speed and LSD completely changed that car. Wish I still had it 🫰 But it’s all in how nice you are on your clutch and knowing how to properly drive stick that makes clutches last that long

[@mateobravo1324]

Just curious... I got into working on cars back in the 90s and I'd worked as a dealership mechanic at a few different dealerships up til I started selling cars. That being said is "breaking in a clutch" not a thing anymore? I remember hearing performance shops and other shops telling people not to Rev them out for like a few hundred miles before going all in slamming gears and such. Just curious if the technology has improved that much or is that just been forgotten? Again it's been since early 2000s since I paid the bills via turning wrenches so I'm honestly curious. Thanks for any genuine response

[@_Gingium_]

I'm actually not sure! I think most people still say to break in your clutch, but it might not be necessary. I definitely didn't on my last few clutches and they have all been fine.

you definitely should still bed-in the clutch and flywheel after a swap, same with pads and rotors. is it the end of the world if you don't? no, but a good clutch can last 100k miles and I'm not interested in having to re-do it in 20k
