How to change a clutch in a 1992 prelude?

need to change clutch on a 192 prelude wana do it my self anyone tell me how?|||Replacing the clutch on a front wheel drive vehicle is much more difficult then you would think. Definitely get a Chilton%26#039;s manual and follow it step by step. Along with the complete meteric tool set mentioned earlier make sur you have plenty of extensions.


I personally find it easier to pull the engine and transmission together, change the clutch on the floor and reinstall the egine/trans. If you haven%26#039;t done a clutch before front or rear wheel drive, then this may be one that you want to allow a shop to do.


If you do choose to go ahead yourself use a Chilton%26#039;s, the steps are much too involved to describe.





Good Luck|||your best bet is get a chilton repair manual for your vehicle%26#039;s year make and model and follow the directions VERY carefully. its an involved process to remove and replace the clutch. first thing you need to do is get the vehicle onto jack stands, remove the wheels, front drive shafts, with a transmission jack or (small floor jack), under the transmission, separate the transmission from the motor. the clutch sits inside the bell housing that attaches the motor to the transmission. and you might want to think about getting a full set of metric end wrenches, metric sockets, a few screw drivers,( flat head and phillips heads) and a few pliers (regular and needle nose), a pry bar and a good hammer because your gonna need them, or you can take it to a shop, someone you trust and let them do it.|||Hey, that%26#039;s my car! you bought it. i just changed the clutch two years ago. To tell you step-by-step is impossible here. Get a Chilton%26#039;s or Haynes repair manual and follow instructions carefully. you should be ok if you%26#039;re a mechanically inclined person. don%26#039;t forget to get yourself a clutch alignment tool. you must align the clutch.
