Fixin’ to give my 17 year old daughter a relatively high mileage 2019 Honda Accord with a manual transmission. I highly approve of this because no boy she knows will be able to drive it.
But neither will she. I see a clutch in my future. I haven’t done a clutch since 1995 when I put one in a CRX.
Still basically same stuff? Do we have at DMS what it would take to do this?
Wheels off, axles off, transmission on stand, split transmission and engine, replace clutch and back together?
I know this isn’t the question you’re asking, but my VW golf has taught 4? people to drive a stick and it’s still going strong on the original transmission and about to run over 100k. You might not need to do a replacement if she’s a quick learner.
As far as I’m aware it’s just that simple but I’ll let you know when I do mine in 5-10 years lol.
I did mine at DMs and the throw out bearing. It took about 4 hours with some help from smarter people than me. I also recommend doing the flywheel while you are at it
Oh, you mean anti-theft device
Man what a sweet first car. Cool dad award for sure!
Replacing that clutch is going to be pretty painful, modern FWD cars are pretty tightly packaged. You’ll have to lookup the exact procedure but I’d bet you have to drop the subframe.
If you want to teach the theory with no risk to the hardware, the sim rig has a clutch and an h-pattern. It even has a clutch lockout to hold the car in gear if you don’t clutch in but we haven’t got that setup yet.
