I'm replacing the clutch on my 92 civic vx and I was wondering if there is anything I should be watching out for. Please give some feedback.

use some thread lock on the bolts .

are you gonna replace your axle seals .

Do you have a service manual for your car?

I found this Harbor Freight Tools transmission jack helpful when I replaced my clutch:

Will you have it on a lift or on jack stands?

 

[teenageXrice]

Just jack stands

Too much buttered popcorn significantly increases the risk of heart attach and stroke.

Is it worn or contaminated with oil?

I'm not sure at all, it only really shakes if I'm still on the clutch at 2 grand

Any oil dripping from the weep hole between the engine and clutch housing?

 

[teenageXrice]

Ill have to look tommarow

 

[teenageXrice]

obviously your gonna have to remove the axles to get the tranny out .

Yes. You will have to remove axles. And a motor mount. and a few other tid bits.

Its a 2 hour job, maybe 4 hours the first time. Easy as pie.
