Honda S2000 clutch replacement the easy way

[@Kona61]

If anybody is curious, I am fairly certain the specific bolt he used is Toyota PN 90119-14057. 3rd Gen 4Runner diff carrier bolts. They have a later part number that is 90080-11420.

Just want to say thank you for putting together such a well-made video. Really helped make the job so much easier.

[@ngkm2]

Great job! Thank goodness there are still people like you around to help others. Cheers 🍻

After watching the video and seeing your method to align the transmission for installation I thought it might help you and others in the future if before you pull the shifter in the beginning, put the transmission in 1st gear so when you have to align the input shaft you can just rotate the driveshaft flange instead of rocking the whole transmission. Really helps when it's only one person.

[@woodywoodlstein9519]

Good tip bro.

[@mstoops69]

I'm trying to rotate the shaft by rotating the tail shaft, but I think it's in 1st gear but font turn. Should it be in neutral?

[@kurtcrafton]

@@mstoops69 No 1st gear is correct. If you rotate the tail shaft and the input shaft does not rotate then you are already in neutral.

[@mstoops69]

I can't rotate the rear flange.

[@kurtcrafton]

@@mstoops69 You can always try a higher gear to give yourself more mechanical advantage from the tails shaft.

This is the best video on how to remove the transmission thanks!

[@alltsab]

Thank you!

[@mushy18100]

Very well detailed tutorial. This is way better than the traditional AP1/2 transmission installation especially when you have limited tools and equipments. Thanks Buddy stay safe!

[@alltsab]

😊 thanks

[@ericmyers1306]

Great Video, thank you. Highly recommend everyone reference LHT Motorsports videos as well for their recommendations. WAYYY too much threadlock on the flywheels bolts. big no-no. just a tiny dot at the starting threads is all you need. Honda doesn't recommend, so it's not needed.. torquing properly is the key. Also, you don't NEED longer bolts. the OEM subframe bolts are long enough from the factory to drop the subframe sufficiently. You did it the right way... NEVER use bolts to force the trans/engine together when reinstalling. you must wrestle the trans back into place or you WILL do damage. Another tip... i highly recommend you inspect and lightly grease the trans to engine alignment "pins"/guides. they are absolutely critical to ensure the trans/engine alignment doesn't move. Replace them if need be.

[@alltsab]

Thanks buddy

[@seeker0587]

EPIC!! Thanks so much, took a 6 hour job down (alone at home with no power tools) to 3 for me. : )

[@alltsab]

Great job buddy

[@DonBMW]

Excellent video. Have replaced many transmissions on BMW's also on jackstands and it's a pretty similar process. I also lower the subframe, but am able to support from above with an engine support bar. Will have to do the S2K soon.

[@woodywoodlstein9519]

Well, now o have to watch all of All’s videos. I knew i liked this guy within the first 20 seconds. I’m subbin!!!! Cheers bro. Great video All Do not stop making these You are great at it!

[@alltsab]

Thanks

[@kevincasey2708]

Great Video !! Love the detail ! I think installing the starter with its difficult to access bolts, as you mentioned, was the least "fun" thing to do. I have a shop and had to install the engine and transmission on one that my former tech had removed,. He left, leaving me with a box full of bolts, many of which I had to determine the correct one (via size) using a Honda Dealer Parts ordering site. So...in my particular situation, identifying/measuring (mostly engine bolts) was the most time consuming.

[@WGHONDA]

[@tammus6478]

Just finished my clutch using this. The only thing not mentioned is disconnecting the steering. If you don't it could break

[@Asserti]

Make sure not to turn the steering wheel when you do

[@CurvyRoadsAreBetter]

Asserti I use a sharpie to mark where the steering was for the front subframe. Under the dash there’s a master spline that ensures the joint goes together only one way.

[@petahlee]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial.

[@alltsab]

You welcome buddy

[@zanahale]

when you lower subframe, is it "required" to detach the steering joint? I have seen a couple of videos that do it.

[@nevizzle5966]

Using this method do you have to disconnect the steering cable?

[@roadrunner799]

Hey mate great vid, would like to know the bolt size length to lower sub frame

No

HOW LONG ARE THE TOYOTA BOLTS

[@tangoray187]

excellent guide, thanks for this! Do you have the size and thread type for the longer subframe bolts? So i can source some before starting the job. cheers

[@alltsab]

Not sure how long but it 1.25 tread 17mm it came out of toyota 4runner front differential bolts. You can take your to home depot or hardwares store to find it they probably have some. Best is go to your local junk yard part.

[@rayravshanov]

are you gotta be careful dropping that subframe ? if yes then where did you get that bolt from Does the whole thing gonna come out if you completely remove the bolts and hold it on your hands ?

[@aliathar4643]

Thank you for making this video, much appreciated. Just few questions please, So you used the 4 runner bolts to hold the subframes, do you keep them on or switch them back with the s2k bolts. Also, just to confirm, you used the same bolts to put the transmission back? Did you keep those or switched them back with the s2k bolts? Finally, what kind of jack and jack stands did you use in the video? Or the brand? Thanks again and apologies for asking dumb questions!!!

[@woodywoodlstein9519]

Ali Athar you switch them back. He just uses it fir stuff like this. And uses them again and again Thats what I got from it at least.

[@CurvyRoadsAreBetter]

Correct , you’d just reinstall using the original bolts during finishing of the job. Those Toyota bolts are just tools to aid the job. When I have helper bolts like that in my toolbox like to paint or mark them in some way so they don’t get mixed up with the original assembly bolts.

are those OEM flywheel bolts? or ARP ones? oem flywheel bolts shouldnt be re-used

jhoer there is no direction in the Honda workshop manual to replace flywheel bolts (other bolts however they do stipulate replacing). This is also reflected in the experience of a huge number of members that have done clutch jobs on the s2ki forum.

No the motor mount connect with subfram so just drop subfram as seem in the video

This is a great video but It would be much more helpful if you put the part number for the 4 runner bolt or at least told us from what year/model 4 runner it’s from and the specific location of the bolt on the 4 runner so we know how to get it. Also what type of jack did you use to support the trans? I saw that It had a flat platform so was it a trans jack?
