Rep Power: 374 I installed an ACT stage 2 clutch in my 01 EX I use to have. With 3 other friends helping out, it took a total of 13 hours to do it. The reason it took so long was because none of us has installed a clutch before. Its not that hard at all, just takes time. the first thing I did, was I went to onda and talked to one of the Techs there. They copied the info I needed to take out the Tranny and gave it to me. Just make sure that you also get the torques specs for the suspension bolt for when you put it all back together. Get some help with doing it. You know some of you car buds do nicely. Take you time doing it and make sure you have plenty of tools. Have fun!!!!

Good luck with that install bro! Your better off dishing 200$ to have it done by a professional, trust me.

Rep Power: 298 200$ is about 4 hours of labor, should not take a pro much longer than that. Even if the shop fee was 75 an hour it would be about 300. Dont pay 400, search around for a better price

Rep Power: 0 I've removed the tranny on my lude and pulled one out of my friend's intergra. With the proper tools its not hard just time consuming. Make sure you get your flywheel resurfaced. With air tools I can now pull hole thing in about 1.5 hours.
The cool thing about the old hondas is everything has a place. example would be all tranny bolts are something like 12mm while bolts related to the crank would be 15mm.
