The first ETCG video I ever watched was on a Ford Focus clutch replacement. Five years on, and I still enjoy a proper nuts & bolts ETCG clutch replacement video - clearly, he hasn't lost his touch. Still the best on UA-cam.
Dang that’s a lot of work because someone took some shortcuts…..that’s why I do all my repairs on my cars, it’s hard to find a good mechanic you can trust. There are only a few Eric’s out there. 😊

I changed 4 clutches on my 1980 Honda Accord I had. I put a Japanese used engine in it and it didn't have a place for the pilot bearing in the back of the crank. The springs would fall out and would stay in gear. Cost me a red light ticket once. In 81 they incorporated the pilot bearing into the transmission. I wasn't smart enough back then to go get an 81 standard transmission and fix it right.
Jist wanted to update this. I just bought a Element with a recently installed Luk clutch with the EXACT same problems. Replaced with an Exedy brand clutch and it's all good again. Again, same visual differences as this. It seems like the Luk is not correct from the factory. The Luk brand is normally a good aftermarket clutch brand but doesn't seem to be right for this application.
Glad that I found out your video. I have the same problem on my brother in law's Vw golf mk5. I've already removed 2 times the gear box,an replaced the clutch, same problem 😢😢😢. I'll tell him to buy a completly new one. Thanks for your chanel content !!!👏👏👏🤝
The "new" throwout bearing looks taller to me but it could be the angle of the camera. Crazy issue and glad you got it resolved! I learn alot from your videos!
The advantage of having more than 1 of the same car in the family. You can save a part and cover off more than 1 car. Glad your brother also drives a Honda! My one does too. I too am the family mechanic. My family rate is I charge him the parts, even if like this it covers parts that May not have been needed but needed to pin point the issue.
The last time I bent a breaker bar that far was on an axle nut I had installed previously on my daughter's Accord. It eventually broke at the head end.
It wasn't a disc problem, it was a release problem. The disc was working just fine. I believe the incorrect clutch was installed. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for this so much! Amazing to see the diagnostic shift from the hydraulics to the clutch. Seems like it all was needed. My only comment is (with great appreciation for your work) that...~~ Whenever I'm under my vehicles with "whatever" and have exposed areas of RUST ~~~. I'm there with the RUST-OLEUM !!! Every time. I know that control of body rust is not the topic but for my vehicles ~~ all over 20 years old ~~ here in New England, it is a never ending battle. Just a one bay workspace. (Just saying.) Thanks so much for this !!!
Eric, we need mechanic like you everywhere. It would be great if you create a Network of reliable mechanics that you can send us to for repairs. You can make commission either from customer or from your exclusive network of mechanics or perhaps both. You need to think about retirement some day. So, start the network now and in a few short years you get there. You have fans everywhere that can help you out to expend the network.
If it was my brother that needed an Element clutch, I would at least expect him to hang out and hand me tools while I fixed his car. Eric is a nice guy.
Eric you ARE Amazing glad you got it fixed. That is a lot of work for one person and you stayed the course. You and I are close to the same age and I was exhausted for you. There's NOOOOO way I would Home garage try to repair my 02 Accord LX with a Five speed manual. At our age I'm about paying a qualified Honda Specialist. When I was in my 30's and fresh out of the Army I did that kind of car work in my home garage and I was ok. But now Nooooo sir. Great vid Eric. Great Vid.
Everytime I have had bolt like that subframe one, I end up with a bolt head in the wrench and the rest still in the car, that horrible feeling of a bolt shearing off as you add pressure.
My fears exactly. All four of these bolts on my '05 E needed over 180 ft lbs to remove and the first 6 full turns were each a series of cracks! Turns out that some moisture gets into the top four threads inside the chassis and rusts up.
I bet the guy that put that old clutch in never compared the parts he was installing ! And so the parts house sold him the wrong clutch . It worked for a while till it stopped releasing .. Great Job Eric !! ENJOYED, Happy Brother to ..
Hey Bro. Your on your way to your 2m mark! Your one of the best out there Eric. Ive been a fan almost from the start. I remember your 500 subscriber video! I am so sorry i didnt renew my prmeum membership on time awhile back. I was late and the price went up. Still love you man! God Bless
Good video! I’m waiting on the Fix it Forward PCM and CAN data cable fix. Those are a PITA and an caused me to get rid of my old car rather than dealing with it. It will be good to learn the etcg fix incase it happens again to another car of mine in the future!!!
Yea, that's on the list. What I've done so far hasn't fixed it which is why I haven't posted a video about it yet. Hopefully I'll get it sorted in the next week or so.
This is why you always use the same manufactorer's clutch as the factory one was. It was designed to work with that, and even small differences can make it not work. Especially tru with the dual mass flywheels. If you install a different manufactorer's one, you can even break the transmission.
It is always very very nice when you fix something and it is fixed like you did what you thought was going to fix it and it worked and it wasn't something else or something else or something else or something else OMG
It never really shifted well if I'm honest. My brother complained about it from day one. I was reluctant to pull the transmission. A lot of good that did me.
The timelapse music was a joy to listen too :-) Good move to save the 'old' clutch from your element, i also always save parts that are good enough to reuse at some point. And i'm glad my new LUK clutch works as it should.
That’s awesome Eric unfortunately I am battling a different gremlin in my CRV which is a four-wheel-drive and a five speed auto tragic what happens is when I slow down to turn the corner sometimes when I go back on the gas it slips a bit it appears that when the transmission is hot turned off in park it is sitting just below the top of the crosshatches... I really hope that there’s nothing wrong with the transmission but nonetheless it is what it is by the way it has new fluids and a new filter
Just awesome!! I don't know how you do it Eric... So many pieces/parts removed including bolts, brackets and connections. How do you remember where everything goes and in what order????
Great job. However, after seeing the underside of your car….. Soooooooooooo glad I live in Texas. All my cars have ZERO rust, including my 1994 Integra GSR. God bless Texas.
I have a 2006 element that the clutch engages fine car stop's when clutch is in ,but sometimes but not all the time has trouble getting in first second gear, if you try to engage first it goes in third an can't get it in second gear. But then it'll work just fine got any ideas on what might be wrong with it thanks for any advice love your you tube videos been big help in the past
I think it was the wrong clutch from the start, or the pressure plate was bad. The only thing I changed was the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. Now it works. 🤷♂️
Smashing repair, it's back to honda spec now :-D Maybe the friction disk materal was thicker than normal, that could change the finger leveridge angle and require the bearing to push firther than normal.
Actually, I think the wrong clutch was installed from the beginning. If there was an issue, I'd say it was the pressure plate and not the clutch because it simply wasn't releasing. I hope you have a great weekend.
Hi, did you check the pressure plate for normal operation? If the pressure plate fingers are worn, you will see this symptom? Idiots holding the clutch in at the lights etc. wear out the strength in the fingers.
My guess the wrong clutch would be causing to much hydraulic pressure on the master causing the triangular diaphragm to exert so much force is blew the 2 fasteners off it from the previous video. It's a common thing on rsx and certain gen civic si, they have the same looking clutch master, when switching to aftermarket heavier duty clutches
Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed something about the thickness or whatever could be that close to cause this issue. I still think the clutch on my Accord V6 has to come out since replacing the hydraulics didn't fix this similar issue for me.
This is linked in the description. The only difference is the PTO on the back of the trans on the Element AWD applications. ua-cam.com/video/yRRZUgoSzf4/v-deo.html
Fantastic video! Questions..... I need to replace the clutch in my 08 Element. Is it necessary to change out the rear main seal as well? I go on a lot of camping and climbing trips and in doing so I haul a few hundred pounds of gear over rutted out forest roads and snow. Needless to say I encounter moments where I have to stress the clutch more than most would. I have seen where folks have upgraded the clutch to the Acura RSX Type S clutch and flywheel. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade or would it be best to stick with Element OEM?
The non original clutch probably worked ok till til it was worn to a certain point. Then the incorrect dimensions of the clutch came to play and interferred with the proper operation of the clutch. Staying OEM you know it will work right, work right the first time and work right longer. OEM is the way to go for most if not almost all things Honda.
Hi Eric, came to find a clutch video to help me diagnose the problem with my 2003 MT Element. I was driving the vehicle and when I put it in first or second gear, can’t remember, I thought I felt like a snap and s ping in the clutch pedal. I drove home and didn’t really notice any issues. The next day I started the vehicle but can not put it into gear. Before I take it to a mechanic K was hoping to get an idea of what it could be. Also not sure if I would need to take it to Honda or any mechanic would be sufficient to repair. Of course I’m hoping to have a better idea of the problem so I can have more sense when they talk with me, also perhaps be able to ask some questions. Thanks in advance for your help.
Just wondering do you know how much transmission oil it needs after you swap out the transmission from a 2006 Honda CRV. The mechanic says I need Seven Courts but I thought I needed three and a half quarts
Hey eric I’m a long time subscriber to your channel because of the knowledge you share so thank you for that. I have a issue with my own project truck and the question I have is can a 2003 clutch master cylinder from a base s10 work a clutch slave from a 1990 c1500 enough to allow the trans to go in gear. I have been try to bleed it for two days and I don’t have any leaks so I’m wondering if the master is able to move the slave
is it okay for the subframe to be that rusty? or is it like a ticking time bomb? cuz if it was me id treat that frame pronto. at least get a few more years out of it

I have learned from watching eric and south main auto is to always use oem parts because aftermarket parts is not as good as the oem parts.
Sometimes finding out who made the original parts is hard as they've been replaced before you get there.
Generally true, unless you can find the OE manufacturer. ua-cam.com/video/wC2MZNY1Ie8/v-deo.html

Nice find on it being the clutch just not the springs in the friction disc interesting 🤔🤔 @EricTheCarGuy
I think it was the wrong clutch from the start, or the pressure plate was bad. The only thing I changed was the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. Now it works. 🤷♂️
@@ericthecarguy yeah very interesting problem wrong clutch makes sense each clutch works under different Pressure and spring tension
Smashing repair, it's back to honda spec now :-D
Maybe the friction disk materal was thicker than normal, that could change the finger leveridge angle and require the bearing to push firther than normal.
Actually, I think the wrong clutch was installed from the beginning. If there was an issue, I'd say it was the pressure plate and not the clutch because it simply wasn't releasing. I hope you have a great weekend.
Hi, did you check the pressure plate for normal operation? If the pressure plate fingers are worn, you will see this symptom? Idiots holding the clutch in at the lights etc. wear out the strength in the fingers.
That was not what I expected!
Thanks for the video. Did you spray the undercarriage and other parts with rust oleum or POR while you had it in the air?
Yes, I used Krown.
Amazing job!
My guess the wrong clutch would be causing to much hydraulic pressure on the master causing the triangular diaphragm to exert so much force is blew the 2 fasteners off it from the previous video. It's a common thing on rsx and certain gen civic si, they have the same looking clutch master, when switching to aftermarket heavier duty clutches
Is that black Teg in the background a factory ITR? Peeped the red VC, But can't tell what wheels it has or if it had 5 lug or factory front lip 😎
Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed something about the thickness or whatever could be that close to cause this issue. I still think the clutch on my Accord V6 has to come out since replacing the hydraulics didn't fix this similar issue for me.
Make sure it's adjusted properly. Video in the description.

did you replace the pilot bushing.
is it okay for the subframe to be that rusty? or is it like a ticking time bomb? cuz if it was me id treat that frame pronto. at least get a few more years out of it
