The prospect of rebuilding or modifying a transmission strikes fears in the heart of many mechanics. But in reality, the process is similar to rebuilding anything mechanical -- with patience and the right tools, it can be a straightforward, rewarding job. And you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself. In this book, you'll find everything from a basic introduction to how manual transmissions work to an in-depth explanation of how to rebuild one, all accompanied by full-color detailed photos. You'll learn how to diagnose transmission problems, as well as how to work on & replace clutches and flywheels. Although you can apply the lessons of the book to any manual transmission, you'll see examples of detailed step-by-step rebuilds of the Honda manual transmission as well as the BorgWarner T5. For those transmissions, you'll see identification by stampings, parts swapping between trannys, maintenance & upkeep, disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. You'll find a chapter devoted to modifications, including blueprinting, case & shaft alignment, gear end play, bearing preload, shift linkage alignment and optimization, upgrading and adding bearings, gear strengthening, short shifters, case modifications, alternative gear ratios, lightening internal parts, dog ring conversions, and cooling. This book features the Honda manual transaxle that was used from 1989-2001 in Integra, Civic, and Del Sol cars equipped with JDM and USDM B-series engines.
