Replacing the Acura TL Clutch Pt 3

[@thronewalker1153]

This is an O ring behind the rear main cover that should be replaced just while you are down there.

[@alland12345]

What part number is that??

[@thronewalker1153]

@@alland12345 If you are doing this. Make sure you put clutch alignment tool in position. Then, make sure there is even space around clutch pressure plate fingers. If you don’t have even space around the clutch fingers then you will have big problems. You will have to do it over again. If you need any guidance then tell me.

Been waiting for part 3! You're the best! :)

[@MtGarage]

Thanks! We're getting really close to the car being on the ground and driving

[@carmenarchangeluriel1795]

i love it when he says: I DONT HAVE THAT TOOL feels like me lol ... thank you for making theses videos

[@jedmarcelo7286]

Can you send me the link to the transmission output shaft seal? I can't seem to find the correct part. I bought 2 that didn't fit it was too big. Thanks!

[@MtGarage]

I bought the left and right seals from Rock Auto. Right: www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1837090&cc=1432641 Left: www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4670568&cc=1432641

Did you ever figure out what the noise was? Was it because of the disc being on the wrong way? Or was it the bearing not being pressed in far enough?

[@MtGarage]

It was actually a faulty bearing that was sent with my new clutch kit. It was semi seized, so I've got a new one that's being installed now. Clutch disc was not backwards so I'm hoping the bearing fixes it 🤞

[@Kylemanwiller]

@@MtGarageSo the way you put it in the video is backwards or not? Just want to know cuz doing my clutch and the new one doesn’t say which way to put it in

[@basicallyanything5458]

I’ve been looking but do you remember the torque specs for the pressure plate

[@MtGarage]

Sorry I don't recall, and I don't want to guess either. You should be able to find that spec on the forums. AcuraZine for instance

[@HondaSolutions]

You should use locktite on the flywheel as pressure plate bolts

[@supersabrosinho]

How heavy was that transmission? Could I move it around by myself? How about the subframe? Thank you this video is very helpful!

[@MtGarage]

The trans isn't too heavy, definitely lighter than an auto lol! I had no problems moving it, but definitely needed a jack to raise and lower it, same thing with the subframe

[@DKL3825]

Hope those aren’t TTY bolts, lol I doubt they are with such low torque. But that’d suck putting the fix in backwards. Going to pt 4 now. Thank you.

[@basicallyanything5458]

What service manual did you use

[@MtGarage]

The factory Acura manual. You can find it on forums by searching for Google

[@mamaluigi2064]

The previous person that got the flywheel replaced I honestly don't understand For how much work is involved just to get to the flywheel and clutch I would most definitely be putting some very high quality parts in

[@alvaromorales7826]

Doesn't the new pressure plate come preset so you don't need the special tool? Isn't that what the green and yellow marks on the pressure plate indicate? Great video!

[@MtGarage]

The center spring is unloaded when new, and as I tightened the pressure plate down the center spring compressed so I don't think it's preloaded. But it worked to cross tighten it slowly so I don't think the special tool is needed!

[@HondaSolutions]

The pressure plate is not set to the correct setting from LUK. You have to compress the pressure plate springs to get the pressure plate set correctly

[@sethquance5831]

@@HondaSolutions actually, most say that the self adjusting mechanism does come preset unless jostled in transit. As for resetting it, there are a couple videos on KZbin that show how to do it without the tool. What he's doing in this video is actually loading the pressure plate springs, which happens when you tighten it to the engine. As long as you work gradually in a cris cross pattern it won't damage anything

[@HondaSolutions]

@@sethquance5831 my springs were not completely compressed on the pressure plate when I got it

[@sethquance5831]

@@HondaSolutions I'm about to do mine in a month or so, so we'll see what mine will be like.

[@minchoguzman5705]

What do you use to release the pressure plate where is the name of that tool tanks

[@MtGarage]

Are you talking about the special tool from Honda? I did not use that tool and have not had any issues with my pressure plate

[@joetl4246]

Part # for rear engine seal

[@MtGarage]

I used SKF 31507

[@joetl4246]

I did my cluch and I didn't change it now 2 days later is liking 😭😭😭

[@MtGarage]

Oh no! That's a big pain in the rear. Well at least this time it should be alot quicker to drop the trans!

[@joetl4246]

@@MtGarage that's true

[@MBZXZ]

Mt Garage usually the big rear main seal doesn’t leak, it’s the little o ring behind the plate that leak al the time (I work for acura few months and the techs told me that) it’s easier replace the entire plate, the seal already installed only cost like $35 from dealership
