I've done several of these. Trick of the trade about these cars is you didn't have to unbolt the subframe. The way I've always done this was unbolt the transmission and you can literally slide it back to rest on the subframe and have enough room to remove the clutch. Saves you from having to drop it, it slide right back into place when done. I've done a few RSX clutch swaps and 8th Gen k24 Accords. Makes the job so much easier. I didn't even have to remove my starter, just unbolted it

hi, as someone whos doing it for the first time on a base rsx, im not looking forwards to dropping the subframe, do you just pull everything attached to the trans and push it in that crevice in the wheel well/?

I can see how it’s intimidating at first. I would go with my buddies to watch them do it before I decided to go for myself. Super cool experience

Very nice I’m in the process of this right now. You removed the subframe the hard way. It’s so much easier to leave the brakes and front lower control arms attached to the knuckle and only drop the subframe and sway bar. Also the transmission only takes 1.6 quarts if you’re just changing fluid and 1.8 quarts for a complete overhaul. I cringed when you didn’t resurface the flywheel 😂 and when homie was tapping in the rear main seal in with a punch. Love the RSX do more videos

I'm having my clutch replaced now, and this video makes me appreciate where my money's going ($1600). 156k miles on my '03 RSX-S and I believe it's the first clutch, I don't drive track or anything though.

This is an awesome video i bought my rsx type s not to long ago he told me it has a new clutch only 200 miles since he would drive it to school only but i think the throw out bearing might be bad and didnt replace it because on a cold morning when i go 1st to 2nd it feels like a grind with clutch it and it leads me to think its a bad throw out bearing since im pressing on the clutch, but it doesnt do it once the car is completely hot under the hood
