2004 Honda Civic Clutch Replacement Tutorial

In this video, learn how to replace the clutch and flywheel on a 7th gen Honda Civic EX (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005).  This install is actually pretty straight forward and not all that bad (hardest part is getting the tranny and motor to line up correctly).  But it is a really big, pretty involved install that took me and a friend 14 hours to complete.  I wouldn’t try this one unless you’re mechanically inclined, but if you are, it’s well worth the knowledge gained and amount of money saved!  Hope you found it helpful and don’t forget to comment, like, share and subscribe!  Thanks for watching!

Move all the wires that get in the way of the starter and that area
Remove 2 sensor plugs (reverse light and speed sensor)
