3rd time my transmission breaks down. I had the confidence in 2 guys already that only made temporary fixes. Cant wait to use this to rebuild my transmission. Thanks for the vid!!!

Amazing to see mechanical parts come together from scratch. Wish I had the patience to do stuff like this lol can't wait for the next episode 👌

Most helpful video I've watched on a Honda transmission😂

Yo man, on the real you just showed me that i can do this on my own, gave me the confidence! Trans isn't as complicated as i thought! The hardest part to me is getting the trans out the car, going by this video the rest is 🎂! Man thank you so much man!!! I got a third gear grind so video was perfect!!!

Yes! Please more K series! 5 speed! More K series everything. Your videos are awesome to learn from! Do way more!

our chump world series series race car lost second gear in a s80 for the same reason. my understanding of that ring is it acts like a brake pad or spring between the synchronizer and hub. Your K series is the only other time I have seen that failure mode. THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS! Even if your doing things I've seen or done before I still pick up little tips along way. Thanks again for opening up your shop to us and sharing your experiences.

You are a life saver I was gonna try to rebuild my trans on my own. This video gave me the confidence to get this shit done.

I don't even have an engine or transmission to work on but i appreciate the hard work you put into your videos bro Very knowledgeable! soon ill be working on a k series of my own😬! Thank you!

found your channel though the Fit Kswap vids... great info for an old guy who did light V8 camaro stuff back in the early 80 and now looking to kswap one of my Honda Fit's. Thanks for putting out this content.

Gonna comment again an just say what a wounder video this was to watch. Love how you did things twice at times when it was a important part to get rite. I will prolly watch this video many times over to get this information sunk in the old melon.

excellent video i tried to rebuild my 1st k series transmission and 1 gear set was sitting higher than the other took them out re aligned like you said and they dropped in perfect thank you!

man this is such a great video! honestly probibly one of your most informative videos you have ever made! it took me a few days to figure out how to get my H transmission back together when I put my LSD in! i wish there was more step by step how to videos like this when I didn't have a clue what I was doing! the k seires trans is just like a B, H,F,D trans except there's an extra detent ball and spring, a 6th gear and they changed the 1/2 inch ratchet snap ring plug to separate that case to a hex key. I wonder how many views this is gunna get over the next 5 years?!?!

Thank you for posting, needed to reseal this section due to a small leak. I have already experienced what happens when it runs out of fluid. So far, I have seen it has gone down to 1/3 of capacity of MTF. Ready to fix before putting motor and transmission back in, after replacing timing chain kit. Good day to you.

That was very informative, not just for honda enthusiasts, for anyone who wants to learn about manual transmissions. Thanks man

learned how to do syncros in my b16 trans from you and now i learn how to do k series now!

Best synchro and gear alignment explanation! Thanks!

Dude omfg. Watching this in 2023 and I got my car back from the dealer and they unplugged this I was wondering why I was having such a hard time shifting from 5th to 6th getting stuck in the reverse. I swore up and down he fucked it up and I’ve been searching to figure out what that plug was on my RSX.💀💀💀😂 you my good sir are a godsend.

awesome to see the whole breakdown being explained in detail. I actually have my transmission out of my k20a3 for potential rebuild since I'm replacing my clutch. I like the break down videos! keep them going!

I just started watching Honda manual (or automatic too) transmission rebuilds. 2 of your vids are very easy to follow, (this one, the camera was a little all over a few times...but!), and the two transmissions were similar. The last one I was was a 5 speed. Very helpful! Thank you!

to get my clip to seat, I flipped the transmission over, and bounced it on my workbench. The cluster settled and the clip snapped into place.

You are diffinately one of the best mechanic youtuber ever respect man everytime

Currently doing a K24/K20 with a JRSC. Engine is out of the car and transmission is seperated. I was debating on whether or not i wanted to address the 3rd gear grind, but after watching this im confident I can replace my synchro without any headache. Thanks a shitload and I'll keep you posted on the finished product.

Bro, this video saves lives! You gave me the confidence with this in depth video. Thank you man!!!!! Amazing DIY video!

this vid is excellent help. i just purchased a k20a3 trans for $35 and $35 for k20 intake manifold in ottawa 2wks ago

I learned transmissions on B series. I Frankensteined an LS and put ITR 1st-5th with the stock 4.2 final drive.. Thanks for the video bro

I'm going to use this video to help me work on my box. Will give it a crack :D

I’ve rebuilt two b series transmissions (GSR and LS). Glad to see how similar these k series transmissions are. Ready to rebuild one for a k swap now!

K Series in the title, never clicked on one of your videos so fast...

The struggle is real trying to get that snap ring back in place. Thanks for the video.

Awesome man!! Seeing it from Puerto Rico !!

Great video! I love all HSG content, But would love to see more D-series stuff! Maybe even Vitara build or something idk lol. Much love HSG

That plastic piece is what distributes gear oil strategically in the transmission. As the diff turns it scoops up gear oil and flings it to the top of that plastic piece where it flows down to each part where the bearings are. Take it out and you diminish the life of the bearings. It is the same thing on B, H and Transverse F series. IDK about D series though other than the D17 transmissions.

once again mark.... u never fail to deliver a great how to diy video... hope u have more subscribers and more videos in the future... put me down for some HSG t shirts.... support the cause!!!!!!

the milk crate is a good way to set up the transmission for disassembly. I have always used a few 2x4 scraps

I could have used this 4 months ago, my K series trans was my first trans teardown and I was sweating the whole time. Good video btw.

Amazing 👏 I need this because my 3rd gear synchro is going in my 8th gen si. Thank you so much

Awesome step-by-step video

Best Honda Channel on KZfaq for sure. Keep the videos going!

am in middle of rebuilding my friend b16a2 s21 hyrdo trans 5th transmission this year :) keep up the great videos!!

Great Video! Please be sure to record anything else you do for this transmission! Would love to see you take apart the counter shaft and dif.

Just found this video (late). Good job. The tool you keep talking about is called snap ring pliers.

keep the good DIY video awsome work .😎

You explain everything so good. Thank you for being very educational. Keep up the amazing work !

Great video! But I think I would get a pack of plastic sandwich-bags and put each sub-assembly with its bolts/bits into a separate bag instead of having one big box.

I’ve found with my Toyota transmissions the oem fluid is 75w90 aka gear oil, with that situation I’ve found it’s best to squirt some syncromesh in with the gear oil to get some more longevity out of the syncros

Good work. you can just flip the gearbox over and the snap ring will drop straight in. :)

thanks for your video man it's had me a lot thanks

You gained a sub just how through you were thank you

Dame bull thank u for coming back big fan bro was up wasts new my name jose

we need like 2 videos per week

Love it bro really got a lot of information out of this

Man this video definitely going to help me rebuild my trans. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

it's about time someone showed this. too bad i sold my spare trans already lol

Hell yea some k series stuff!!

You have a great skill keep up on enlighting us thank you for everything

Great stuff bro keep it up great content💯

You are G.O.A.T. !!!

Great video def gonna use this to rebuild my trans

Thanks mate! i'm gonna replace the gearbox bearings of my ep3 tommorow

I like the guns and roses in the back

Fantastic description. Thank you so much!

that sound when you slid the bearing back ontop of 6th gear hahaha. imma buy you a new parts box btw 😂

Yo . I just subscribed . And I wanted to let you know you’re a bad ass . That’s it . You’re bad ass bro 😎

You are the best my brother!

La mejor explanation how do , el que sabe explica y ensena bien …gracias

No bullshit i like how you explain things bro.. communication is key #subscribe

Very nice. Very informative. Thank you.

So I pulled a junkyard on off, took it apart just the case off and looked inside didn't remove the shift forks, but I slid the forks around. Now its together on the bench, run it through all gears, feels good but when I put it in neutral the CV holes still move, I can't stop it with my finger. I'm not sure if this is normal all 4 shift fork things lign up and my shifting assembly goes in good

I really wanted to watch this, but got dizzy after the first 3 minutes. moving forward manually every 5 seconds works great though. thanks for the tutorial

@ The c clip will go in if you flip the transmission over. The counter and mainshaft will shift towards the other side of the case.

Hello, I just subscribed. This video was great on info and visual. I'm looking foward to you doing the B series since i'm about to do my Type R trans 1-2 gear synchros and hub with slider. I have never done this so I can't wait till you post a B series like you mentioned in this video. I'm sure the K and B are similar since it seems most manual trans look like they are.

are we getting more k series vid?

Very informative! Great job!

Really helpful I really thank you for your knowledge you deserve more subs man I’ll keep coming back

Cheers for the video. I’ve got mine apart currently, but I’m having an issue removing the outer race from the roller bearing out of the casing. Any advice or help with this please?

Remember to take the speed sensor out! I damaged mine by not taking it out and smashing it on the gear while trying to separate the case

Muchas gracias amigo. De mucha ayuda.

Man I been following for a good while ...love all your vids but mostly like videos like this (my opinion of course) lol keep it up man hopefully you will never ever ever ever ever stop making videos man. (:

Did you ever make a video with the carbon gears and lsd? Doing one in the future would love to watch something

I love you man!!!! definitely needed this vid!!!

Awesome detailed video!!! Wish you can do one for a h22 m2b4 transmission....mines just took a crap!😭

This video helped me find y my reverse lights are not working. Rite when I bought the car it had a k24 swope and the reverse switch plug is missing and I thought it was the reverse lock out.

Best fucking video explaining k series

Amazing video 🔥 explained it perfectly

Hey sup buddy,,so earlier yesterday I’ve took my coupe out for a ride since it was nice,I’ve haven’t since the weather has been real shitty the pass few weeks.so I’m on the high way I’m diving and I started to noticed this wired sounds that’s coming form my car..when I put it in neutral out of the gear,it don’t make the noise,soon I’m back in gear it starts to make the noise agin,it seems to only be anything over 3000rpms.when I go to step on the clutch to shift I can also feel it in the clutch pedal as well..it’s like a rattle sound.i thought it could of been one of the pulleys,so I took off the belt off and it didn’t make any difference,the same if I was to step on the clutch pedal while the engine running,same thing still making the rattle noise and as for when I rev it up..

HSG Fam 💪

Love the video

really appreciate the video, i wanna do the synchros in my 08 civic si. It doesn't like going into first or second, thinking about sending it to synchrotech for a full rebuild, but I know it'll be cheaper if I do it myself

Excellent, thank you

Is it a crucial thing to replace final drive bearings and them not have the metal race seal around the top inside? Just did a bearing and seal overhauld and final drive gear replacement and want to be sure before i actually install back into the daily😅 thanks! Awesome video btw👌👌👌

About time ;)

Thanks. Mine started to be little rough but i hope i wont have to do all that but if i do i have a map to go to

can you do a video on k series timing chain replacement and timing

You sir are a legend 💪

Nailed it

Also! Just figured this out putting mine back together. The "oil gutter" aka the trans baffle. Is EXTREMELY fragile. Just a heads up

What’s the difference between automatic and manual transmission rebuild for the k-series? Or is there a link i could check?

So cool 😎 thank you!

Great video bro!

Can you do another video soon on that same transmission. With a little bit more detail.
