Sucks that your problem was the belt, I bet it felt weird looking at good flex plate thinking what went wrong, at least you had to remove the transmission to fix anyway.
Hello. Thank you for this excellent & informative video. Would you please tell what symptoms prompted you to remove this transmission, and ultimately find the damaged teeth? Any idea what would cause the teeth to become damaged? I am about to attempt to perform the same R&R on my 2006 hybrid. I realized that there are differences between the 2005 and 2006, but I believe that this video will be a great help. Any answers to these question or advice would be greatly appreciated. The symptoms that I am experiencing are shuddering & pulsation under acceleration without any unusual noise. Please advise.
catalyst2112 So I’m my own opinion This is the smallest shaft with smallest grooves and therefore failing with time. These cars should be driven very gently when you stop and go cause the amount of torque I feel is excessive from the cvt plate to the shaft (purposely made that way) Now in your case a 2006 if my guess is correct you will have to replace the whole transmission since 2006-2009 the transmission fails rather than the plate because these transmissions you have to keep up with fluid change every 30 to 40k miles otherwise they will wear super fast and go out.
I have a 2003 honda civic hybrid at 196k miles now. No transmission issues just IMA light from Im not going to invest the money on replacement hybrid battery. Has a code indicating catalytic converter is bad and hybrid battery codes. At this point just driving as A-B car 24-28 mpg in town. Used to get a real 44-46 mpg mainly highway from miles / gallons used from full tank to next fill up when hybrid battery worked.
What were the symptoms, conditions, the car was having. Picked up 04 Civic Hybrid for $500 with only about 106,000 miles on it. It will move but has noisy slippage, engine revs, sounds metallic. Doubt its the startup clutch which is another common issue with these cars, which is an internal trans part. but doubt it with the considerable low mileage. What were your symptoms?
Harbor Freight - $130 transmission jack - $130 Daytona 1.5 Ton - $80 6 ton jack stands (got bigger for my RV). I recommend getting Harbor Freight’s “Inside Track Club” you get deals sooner, and you get more deals altogether. Not to mention, a couple items pays for 2 years. Cheers🎉
I just bought a 2005 civic hybrid and its delayed or no movement especially when cold or go from like reverse to drive vice versa has delayed engagement. Also once it does move its like a large bang/thud or harsh engagement. After warming up seems to be better.
pulling my 5-speed M/T from my '05, right now. everything is unbolted, and the transmission does not want to come off it's dowels, or the input shaft, out of the clutch. think i'll try unbolting the pressure plate through the starter hole like you did with yours.
Exactly how I posted the video Turn off IMA Remove air box Disconnect all sensors on transmission Drain fluid Remove fluid lines Loosen up all transmission 17mm bolts leave at least 2 bolts on Tranny holding it easy access ones. Remove subframe Support engine and place your transmission jack and secure it. Remove all 6 10mm bolt from cvt flywheel by rotating ur crank pulley with 19mm By the way they are torqued 10ftlb Do not try to remove transmission without removing those 10mm bolts or else you will be stuck for a couple of hours scratching your head. Remove transmission support. Bring down transmission, remove and inspect flywheel and if the teeth are no longer there replace it and reinstall transmission and follow process backwards. By the way removing some of the 17mm by the firewall transmission bolts can be tricky so I suggest you have the longest 17mm combination wrench u find. Space is limited so you will have to get creative. Good luck with your project.
@@kiloo0 there are two lines. There is one on the left and one to the right. We are going to call them driver side and passenger side so it doesn’t get you confused. So the passenger atf cooling line goes into a filter then from the filter into the passenger lower side of the radiator. The driver atf cooling line it’s a much shorter line that one goes from the transmission straight into the lower driver side of the radiator. Also at the brackets with the banjo bolts can only be placed one way you won’t be able to switch them out even if you wanted to at the transmission. At the radiator side the lines are secured with pressure clips. I hope that helps.
If the input shaft gets no rotation, its most likely the broken flexplate splines. the oring disappears, the grease is washed out and the splines rust and grind out. if you have input shaft movement that coincides with the engine speed, but the car won't go. the its internal issue with the CVT.
first time mine went out i bot a used flywheel lasted 10 months $150, next time bot new from honda dealership $450, havent priced yet to see if price went up
Yeah that’s the price at the dealership, my best guess the transmission shaft at this point needs to be changed to prevent from messing up your good flywheel.
Awful noise when I put it in drive or any gear.Starts fine and quite.Would drive with the noise,but just driving up now.Does this sound like flywheel.Car has 101,000 miles on it.I just bought it real cheap.look forward to hearing from you.Your video is awesome btw.
What was the car doing before the dismantle? I just bought an 05, and mine is making all kinds of noise. It will drive through all the gears, but sounds very disturbing
Hello! I have a 2005 Honda Civic hybrid. No check engine light but car won't move in reverse or any other gear. Should the transmission be replaced or just the flywheel? Just want to fully understand.
@@IT_Mike_78 Yes!! If the flywheel failed you won’t see any teeth or partially see them there. If everything looks good on the flywheel, most likely is going to be your transmission the problem
I’m in need of help, i’m a technician but i have never touched a honda IMA drivetrain system outside of knowing basic service and hot to shut the hybrid system down for major repair. I have a 2006 civic hybrid 1.3L CVT. When it goes into gear, it has this horrible metallic like sound that gets faster with speed, but when neutral or park, it’s gone. Can you help me with a good point to start diagnosis?
Rick Moises, when these transmissions start to whine most of the time is the metal band. Could be for many reasons, most common reason is final drive is chipped somewhere. If you drained the fluid and didn’t see any chunks of metal yet you could also remove the axles and remove the seals where the axles joint and most likely chunks of metal gear will be present. Once the transmission is whining and not moving is done!! And yes when in park or neutral the noise goes away.
Didn't you get a p1885 CVT Drive Pulley Speed Sensor Circuit? It should have thrown a code of some sort since there was engine RPM & no CVT Drive Pulley Speed
Hello. My dad has a 05civic hybrid and when he puts it in drive only. there is a sound that’s like plates spinning against each other is that the issue you had ? Thanks
I bought a used transmission and I'm on the second mechanic putting it on ugh idk if my battery drained either i haven't driven the car since Christmas Eve
I was driving my car today by the LA Zoo. When taking off from a stop sign I heard a trump and coasted to a stop. I couldn't get the car moving in drive or reverse. The engine would just rev. Is the flywheel problem you had the same symptoms I'm having?
Same question as Len Rodruguez.. What is the Part number? My daunter's car is experiencing the same problem. Dies one day. Just won't move. the engine runs fine though
The easiest way is to type in 2003-2005 cvt flywheel/flex plate 1.3L. Honestly I’ve seen some on eBay but the price is ridiculous anywhere from $200 up to $400 U can find it on Facebook market, Craigslist or offer up. I got mine for $100 As long as ur car has the 1.3 and the donor car is a 1.3 the flywheel should fit. Good luck, if you have any other questions let me know. By the way, if ur car is 2003 to 2005 99% sure is the plate. If ur car is 2006 and up to 2010 most likely is ur transmission, I just finished a 2006 and the plate was fine so I swapped the tranny too and works like a charm!! I bought the tranny for $250 with plate to give u an idea how cheap it is to by on apps.
@@spintheboost8888 Thank you again, I am getting ready to tackle this project. I hope that is it. I will take it apart to check before I buy the part as most sellers don't offer returns. If I have the same issue as you I will be extremely happy to get it fixed. Thanks for Posting the video. Is your car still running fine?
Did you get any codes before you changed the flywheel? I have the same problem, wont move in any gear but have a p0717 cvt input speed no signal code. Do you think that would keep it from moving at all?
Eduardo Cuellar, my car did not have any codes. Your code is for one of the sensors the transmission has and sometimes they go bad but also when the transmission fluid is too old metal shavings start to build up on those sensors cause they are magnetic, so they will interfere with the signal. Take them out and clean them up, if u see a lot of metal shavings change the transmission fluid and it might work for a while but if the transmission has worn down too much you are gonna have to replace the transmission. In this case I think ur transmission is gonna be toast and not ur flywheel. What I’m saying is my car never gave me a code cause the transmission was working fine and the car didn’t sense a broken flywheel cause that is a mechanical part. Basically the engine was rotating the flywheel but the flange on the flywheel had no teeth therefore not engaging into the transmission shaft. Let me know if you have any more questions.
@@spintheboost8888 just checked the sensor and there were metal shavings on it! Guess it's time for a new trans. Thank you for your input really helped me.
No problem, try cleaning the sensors and drain and refill ur fluid with original Honda cvt transmission fluid, u need 3 quarts and see what happens. The transmission may work for a little while. Don’t try rebuilding this transmission cause it’s expensive, ur better off buying a used one in good condition. Good luck!!
Usually when you have an IMA light on is most likely you hybrid battery pack is bad, best case scenario one of your converters but that rarely is the case on these 03-05.
Hi, LJ if you are only replacing the cvt flywheel you don’t need much clearance I did it with a set of 3 ton jack stands and they were at the 3rd took. That with be between 14 and 16 inches give or take of the floor. The transmission jack I used is pretty low profile and super convenient.
@tearsbeers that is a different issue you have. Honestly maybe you can still salvage your transmission. Most of the time when I get that specific issue I drain and fill the transmission with fresh cvt fluid from Honda along with the little bell looking external filter. About 3.5 quarts if you are doing the filter, 3.1 without filter but I strongly suggest filter. Also check your torque mount. That torque mount is the one in the middle bottom with 2 short 17mm held by a bracket to the transmission to the long single 17mm to the subframe. By doing those two things usually solves that vibration when pulling away from a stop now if you transmission already suffer damage will help it a 90% meaning you will feel a very light vibration but not bad at all.
good morning friend when you start the car it makes a noise or you can't hear anything why is it happening to me it doesn't want to go forwards and backwards I tried to scan it but there is no communication with the transmission but there is with the other systems the srs the abs and the engine but the a/t system didn't show anything it won't let me scan but if i scan it completely on the engine the code p0700 appears and no faults appear on the a/t if you can help with that
In 2006 the Honda Civic Hybrid started a new body style with updates on the Transmissions 2006 to 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid transmission was way more robust then the 2003 to 2005 flywheel stripping was not a major problem as it was with the earlier generation it is very important to change fluid more frequently and used only OEM Honda CVT transmission fluid
Yeah, this is also called cvt drive belt. It is common to fail, to be honest is a really weak part and i wouldn’t be surprised if ur car has the same problem.
This video does NOT cover the failed CVT drive belt. This is the FLYWHEEL failure. Flywheel failure AND belt failure are both extremely common on these. Flywheel repair = simple. Belt repair = nightmare.
Al H it did not since the flywheel is a mechanical part. No check engine or any codes at all. The flywheel was just spinning around the transmission shaft.
The one on the driver side need Battery out, fuse box clips off (there is a trans Mount bolt under fuse box you will want a swivel) you will need many extensions and swivels in both 1/2” and 3/8”. I think I also had the air box out that is just 2 10mm. For the passenger side Mount, I did unscrew the egr valve and tilted it slightly, and had to try hard with a low profile bolt with swivel to get at the bolt next to/under it
Don’t forget to jack up under the oil pans slightly where you are changing the part also jack it up to get the bolts to align. For the passenger side you need to remove a 10mm cable and two big bracket bolts for which you will need a deep 1/2” 17mm socket
peetre, idk if you read the other comments but I don’t have a part number. The best way to look it up is typing Honda Civic Hybrid CVT Transmission Flexplate Flywheel 2003 2004 2005 1.3L SZCA The tools are 19mm 17mm 14mm 12mm 10mm 32mm for axel nut, towers, 1 floor jack and the transmission floor jack.
I have a code of p1571 and p1600 and Honda said they don’t see anything about the code and ask if they can check the transmission for some censor. I have ima light on my 2005 hybrid. So do you have any idea what could that be?
Noypi Boy, I think the problem is going to be your hybrid Battery. P1600 is for the IMA battery and the 1571 is for ur motor assist which is in between the engine and the transmission. It makes sense that is giving that code for incorrect torque since the battery is not working properly. I got my money on the battery. Let me know what happens!!
2010 Honda Insight auto transmission need to replace … I need how to remove transmission saying have to remove engine and transmission together but ur is just take down transmission
I fixed the flywheel and now we’re starting to think it’s the transmission and the flywheel because the flywheel didn’t have teeth but we got one and still isn’t going into drive
@ Jay Ochoa. Sorry to hear that. When you drained the transmission fluid did you see any metal shavings or chunks of metal on the drain plug? Did you have check engine light with transmission codes or even flashing gear lights on the dash? How about when the car was on idle? Did you have clunking noises coming from the engine bay? All those things come into play. Mine didn’t have anything of the above. I hope you connected everything back together and refilled your transmission fluid as well.
@@spintheboost8888 no bro it’s most definitely the transmission we found out it just got a lot of west but I mean it’s almost has 300,000 miles so I think it’s just likely time
Al H: If you are talking about the 17mm on the transmission up top. Yes you need a long 17mm wrench. You will have to place the 12 point end to the bolt and the other end sticking to the top of engine. you are going to grab another wrench and place the 12 point onto the open end of the wrench so you could have leverage and loosen it up. If not getting any loose instead of the second wrench for leverage grab a jack bar and set onto the open end of the wrench and try to push it loose or hammer the end of the bar. Its hard but doable. Better than dropping the exhaust. Good luck
Fernando Gonzalez, the car would turn on normal, no check engine or any flashing lights on the gears. When changing from park to drive or reverse car wouldn’t move. Felt like when car is in neutral and you press gas but goes nowhere. So turned out to be the flywheel flange that was worn and the transmission shaft was floating around the flange gear. I hope that answers your question.
@@spintheboost8888 ok so this is what my car is doing. The exact thing... No check engine light, starts fine. Added transmission fluid & still nothing. So I guess it's the flywheel. 😩

It is also important to check the spine on the input shift. I had to replace the flywheel and transmission input shaft on 2003.
your video was super helpful for the removal of the trans. mine was a exploded belt and now have a spare flexplate.

About 3.5 quarts if you are doing the filter, 3.1 without filter but I strongly suggest filter. Also check your torque mount. That torque mount is the one in the middle bottom with 2 short 17mm held by a bracket to the transmission to the long single 17mm to the subframe.
By doing those two things usually solves that vibration when pulling away from a stop now if you transmission already suffer damage will help it a 90% meaning you will feel a very light vibration but not bad at all.
good morning friend when you start the car it makes a noise or you can't hear anything why is it happening to me it doesn't want to go forwards and backwards I tried to scan it but there is no communication with the transmission but there is with the other systems the srs the abs and the engine but the a/t system didn't show anything it won't let me scan but if i scan it completely on the engine the code p0700 appears and no faults appear on the a/t if you can help with that
Iam have this si problem 😢😢
i have 2007 fit with cvt transmission, when you accelerating, it makes grinding sound. are thats flywheel problem? thanks for the answer
In 2006 the Honda Civic Hybrid started a new body style with updates on the Transmissions 2006 to 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid transmission was way more robust then the 2003 to 2005 flywheel stripping was not a major problem as it was with the earlier generation it is very important to change fluid more frequently and used only OEM Honda CVT transmission fluid
My car is doing the same but a mechanic said it needs a new Cvt drive Belt??
Yeah, this is also called cvt drive belt.
It is common to fail, to be honest is a really weak part and i wouldn’t be surprised if ur car has the same problem.
drain the fluid and you will see the metal plate from the cvt belt...if there no metal plate then the flywheel failure..
This video does NOT cover the failed CVT drive belt. This is the FLYWHEEL failure.
Flywheel failure AND belt failure are both extremely common on these.
Flywheel repair = simple.
Belt repair = nightmare.
Did it throw any codes before the trans was removed?
Al H it did not since the flywheel is a mechanical part. No check engine or any codes at all. The flywheel was just spinning around the transmission shaft.
Was this the manual?
Automatic!!
What needs to be disconnected on a 1st gen honda civic hybrid to just replace transmission mounts and possibly other engine mounts?
The one on the driver side need Battery out, fuse box clips off (there is a trans Mount bolt under fuse box you will want a swivel) you will need many extensions and swivels in both 1/2” and 3/8”. I think I also had the air box out that is just 2 10mm. For the passenger side Mount, I did unscrew the egr valve and tilted it slightly, and had to try hard with a low profile bolt with swivel to get at the bolt next to/under it
Don’t forget to jack up under the oil pans slightly where you are changing the part also jack it up to get the bolts to align. For the passenger side you need to remove a 10mm cable and two big bracket bolts for which you will need a deep 1/2” 17mm socket
where did you post the tools and part numbers? thanks for the video!
peetre, idk if you read the other comments but I don’t have a part number.
The best way to look it up is typing Honda Civic Hybrid CVT Transmission Flexplate Flywheel 2003 2004 2005 1.3L SZCA
The tools are 19mm 17mm 14mm 12mm 10mm 32mm for axel nut, towers, 1 floor jack and the transmission floor jack.
@@spintheboost8888 thanks!
I have a code of p1571 and p1600 and Honda said they don’t see anything about the code and ask if they can check the transmission for some censor. I have ima light on my 2005 hybrid. So do you have any idea what could that be?
1600 as to do with the battery in the back
Noypi Boy, I think the problem is going to be your hybrid Battery.
P1600 is for the IMA battery and the 1571 is for ur motor assist which is in between the engine and the transmission.
It makes sense that is giving that code for incorrect torque since the battery is not working properly.
I got my money on the battery. Let me know what happens!!
Thank you !
You’re welcome
2010 Honda Insight auto transmission need to replace … I need how to remove transmission saying have to remove engine and transmission together but ur is just take down transmission
what tipe of grease ypu use on the shaft
Any automotive grease would work
You can apply a very thin layer but you don’t have to apply any!!
@@spintheboost8888 tank u
I fixed the flywheel and now we’re starting to think it’s the transmission and the flywheel because the flywheel didn’t have teeth but we got one and still isn’t going into drive
@ Jay Ochoa. Sorry to hear that.
When you drained the transmission fluid did you see any metal shavings or chunks of metal on the drain plug?
Did you have check engine light with transmission codes or even flashing gear lights on the dash? How about when the car was on idle? Did you have clunking noises coming from the engine bay? All those things come into play. Mine didn’t have anything of the above. I hope you connected everything back together and refilled your transmission fluid as well.
@@spintheboost8888 no bro it’s most definitely the transmission we found out it just got a lot of west but I mean it’s almost has 300,000 miles so I think it’s just likely time
Did you drain the fluid?
@ Andrew Doig. Yes I did.
Any trick to get the bolt under the exhaust without having to drop the cat and exhaust?
Al H: If you are talking about the 17mm on the transmission up top. Yes you need a long 17mm wrench. You will have to place the 12 point end to the bolt and the other end sticking to the top of engine. you are going to grab another wrench and place the 12 point onto the open end of the wrench so you could have leverage and loosen it up. If not getting any loose instead of the second wrench for leverage grab a jack bar and set onto the open end of the wrench and try to push it loose or hammer the end of the bar. Its hard but doable. Better than dropping the exhaust. Good luck
@@spintheboost8888 The sway bar forced me to pull the exhaust. 17 year old bolts were solid rust and i drilled them out. Thanks again!
Al H. I’m glad you were able to get the job done 👍🏽

hello why was the reason you changed the Fly wheel
Fernando Gonzalez, the car would turn on normal, no check engine or any flashing lights on the gears. When changing from park to drive or reverse car wouldn’t move. Felt like when car is in neutral and you press gas but goes nowhere. So turned out to be the flywheel flange that was worn and the transmission shaft was floating around the flange gear. I hope that answers your question.
Thanks yes my car not moving
@@spintheboost8888 ok so this is what my car is doing. The exact thing... No check engine light, starts fine. Added transmission fluid & still nothing. So I guess it's the flywheel. 😩
@@cjayw yes 99 percent sure is going to be your flywheel
Aye bro, I need some help with this one
just put mine in the shed 3rd time splines stripped out on the flywheel so i can replace it again

What is the part number for that clutch flywheel
Hi l Len, sorry for the late response.
The easiest way is to type in 2003-2005 cvt flywheel/flex plate 1.3L.
Honestly I’ve seen some on eBay but the price is ridiculous anywhere from $200 up to $400
U can find it on Facebook market, Craigslist or offer up.
I got mine for $100
As long as ur car has the 1.3 and the donor car is a 1.3 the flywheel should fit.
Good luck, if you have any other questions let me know.
