transmission casing change

[word]

hey,
my tranny casing cracked like a mofo from hitting some tool (hammer??) on the highway. lucky it wasn't my oil pan.

now i have a brand new tranny casing, has anyone done the replacement themselves? difficult?

thanks

Not all that difficult, just time consuming. All you will need in addition to normal tools is a set of snap ring pliers and some Hondabond.

should i just go ahead and buy a new snap ring?

Yes, I would and make sure to inspect the syncros and bearings while you are in there.

Mkae sure you have a manual when you start. If you forget one single thing in the switch you will be starting over and cursing. I was rebuilding one in a rush once and put the reverse idler gear in upside down. So pissed...back out and apart....grrr.
