As some of you know my tranny has 200,XXX miles and was showing signs of wear. my tird gear was grinding and sometimes the reverse didn't engage. after looking i found that the shift rod oil seal was the culprit. so i decide to do a real simple DIY on how to change it.
To start make sure your car is on a level surface.
things you need:
1. jack and jack stands
2. oil seal P/N 91215-PL3-005
3. 2qts. Honda MTF (your choice)
4. 8mm punch or a screw
5. 12mm socket and wrench
6. hammer and pliers
7. PB Blaster
8. 2 packs of sour skittles --> optional
9. beer--> optional
Raise your car and place something on the rear wheels so it won't slip and crush yo ass and put the jack stands so its all secure. Now that the car is up, drink a beer and admire what you've done so far.
As you can see it was a mess, tranny oil everywhere.
Now, time to remove the bitch, everyone may have different ways to remove it i have a piece of an old screwdriver that fits perfectly on the bitch hole. put it in there!!
spray some pb blaster or dw-40 to loosen the bitch so it'll slide easier when you hit it with punch and hammer. with the hammer hit the damn bitch until is out.
Once you get the bitch out, remove the shift linkage (sorry didn't took the pics totally forgot). There's a 12mm bolt directly under the shift lever, remove it and the whole bar will come out.
Now that the bar is out of the way you can see the oil seal, looking at the pic you can see the old one and the new one. At plain view they look alike, but at closer look the old one is pretty worn and doesn't seal like it should.
using some big ass pliers hold the seal and start wiggling until it comes out. if you look closesly, the rubber is white and brittle, as soon as I removed it it started to drip tranny fluid.
to put the new seal on, use a long socket and hit it with the hammer until is all the way in.
This is how it should look once you put it on. Now all you have to do is reverse the steps to put everything back together.
No more leak, once you finish you will have this. Clean everything up. Set the car down, fill up the tranny and if you have beer left drink it up, you deserve it.
Hope this is useful and may help someone, i have fun doing it, plus I needed it. Any questions that you might have, something that i might left out, feel free to add it up or ask.
