So i ordered the Exedy organic stage 1 clutch / flywheel kit from ExceleratePerformance.com and cant wait to get this installed . I plan on installling this myself with some help from a sibling. I was trying to find a DIY and cant seem to find one ANYWHERE. I found a detailed one for a 99 civer EX but I have an 04 TSX. Do I Have disconnect the sub frame. I really just looking for some basic steps to this process to get the tranny apart from the engine. Or if someone has a link to an actual TSX RSX DIY?

I haven't seen a DIY thread for a clutch/flywheel replacement on this board. For those few that have gotten the Exedy package, they've gotten it done by a mechanic. I recall moda_way had it done some time ago, so consider PM'ing him. He's also a Moderator.

well I have recieved the clutch / flywheel combo today in the mail so im going to install this tommarow (SAT). Me and my dad have done clutchs before just not for this make and model, this is why i am looking for advice. Once we get to the tranny and remove/separate it from the engine well be fine.


what website datboimarn???

I had mine done by an Acura tech after hours. Even he said it was a real pain and much more in depth than a typical Honda clutch/flywheel combo. I did have a Quaife LSD put in at the same time so that made the job take longer. Let us know how it turns out.

Well i got the clutch broken in and its feels great. THe install was a 10 hour bitch, but me and my pops got it done. We didnt remove the subframe ( just loosened it), we didnt remove the shifting mechanisms, clutch linkage, radiator, or intake man ( just removed the bolts) other than that is was a walk in the park....just a 10 hour walk

glad you got it done. i've done plenty of clutch & flywheel installs, but after looking at this car I decided to call a pro. one off the clock and not working at a shop rate.

Congrats on the install. This is probably one of the more difficult DIYs.

thinking back..... it was a difficult job. We had fun with this job being a gearhead and all....If you have done clutches / flywheels before i think you would be just fine with some azine help and the help of another person. theres some tight places in the TSX to get to ...so one needs the proper tools as well.

Very nice!

I did my first clutch job on my brothers RSX type S (Same tranny/clutch I believe).. if not, very similar.

Install was pretty straight forward. Didn't hit any speed bumps at all, as I expected I would..lol
However, the subframe has to be removed, shift linkages, etc. We removed the entire tranny, but still not hard to do.
