This is a great damn video! If every teacher I had was this clear I’d be skating through an Ivy league school right now. I don’t own a Honda or an automatic but I learned a lot more here than I did at a 2-day dealer sponsored training class.

It’s got over 3k on it now and it works great. Heard a noise but it was the bearing in the PS pump. I just rebuilt the pump today, but my phone had the audio checked to OFF, so there’s no audio. Honda PS pumps are super simple to rebuild, and can be done from start to finish in under an hour.

Diff bearings were fine with the shim that was in the case. I did have to replace one of the shims on the stack that had 2nd gear. Be warned it takes 1-2 weeks to get parts for these things. I used the dial indicator to check the clutch pack free play. You put the clutch/steels in drum, put the snap ring in, then check the free movement of the clutch stack, there’s specs for each clutch pack in the manual and on the ATSG paperwork that comes with the rebuild kit.

This is a Honda, it’s a contstant mesh like a manual. But instead of shift forks, it uses clutch packs to select each gear. Not that scary, but have a manual which shows you how the gear clusters go back together.

Yes, get a rebuild kit. You can flush the torque convertor, or a reman is about $150. You kinda need a press to take the clutch drums apart. They make a tool for it too, or you can make a tool with all thread and a socket.

Probably. That’s why I tend to avoid JY transmissions, they’re an unknown. I’ve done an insane amount of the L3′s and S20 civic transmissions. My 91 Si has a hybrid HF 5th gear + LSD L3 in it.

The ATSG print out that came with the kit had the same diagrams as the FSM. Trans is working great. I went with the Amsoil Synthetic ATF. I was freaking out yesterday as there was a noise like a bearing going bad, and it was on the PS pump. So I did a quick rebuild on it. The total cost of this rebuild was 175 for the kit with steels (don’t skimp). I got all my parts from CT power train in Huntington Beach. Oh, a JY MDWA Trans was $800ish with no gurantees.

It’s one year later after I posted that about the old thing of my 4r70w transmission not wanting to shift out of first gear. It turned out to be the ECM or whatever you call it., the computer. I had an auto electric shop do a diagnoistic check and they said the computer wasn’t “responding.”. I ordered a remanufactered one from 1A auto parts online, about $150. Stuck it in myself, simple, no problem, 15-min job. It hasn’t missed a shift since.
