Just want to say thanks, to the lady who posted this video. I just finished my first clutch install in my CRV. this video was a great help with me getting it done.

[amadisreyes]

This was One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on YouTube. I loved how in detailed it was.That lady know how to work on cars.I was very impressed.

Video was extremely helpful for fixing my second gen CRV, exactly the same procedure. Took me a whole weekend by myself on the garage floor with only a little help lowering and raising the transmission.

Just one thing id like to correct you on. You place the clutch on the flywheel with alignment tool then place the pressure plate over it. You really did a great job changing the clutch.

Outstanding video, great teacher and props to the cameraman.

Nice work. Better than all the other videos I watched before this. They all failed to do a variety of different yet important tasks - or explain them. For example, the experts at ACT clutch didn't mention which side the friction disk should be facing. Cool!

[balloney]

Excellent! Some similar videos would not even try running if fixing really works. This lady gave me a lot of encouragement to DIY my Civic.

The stars aligned for this video to exist. I'm guessing it was her personal element? great job, excellent video.

Good job! I'm no pro mechanic, but I tried to leave the intermediate shaft on also, and trying to line up both the transmission input shaft and the intermediate shaft was a no-go. Faster to remove it and replace it, prevents damaging the carrier bearing mount too.

This is going to be fun to do in the driveway :) My clutch release arm is wiggly and wont let the slave operate it. I did the slave and master a few weeks back and it was perfect. I drove for about 2 years on a squishy hydraulic pedal, couldn't get the air out without taking it all out in one piece. I either ruined it or it was just time...

[jaybourbon]

Love you video. Your amazing. I think the most impressive this about the video is you did it without even one swear word! I would have been 200 swears deep just getting to removing the clutch! 😅👍
Really appreciate the video. My brother and I are tackling this job tomorrow. This is gonna make it a breeze. 💖

highly recommended Milwaukee 3/8 stubby M12 impact gun and 1/2 M18 impact, they are so handy when you work in a close area like that, I use them everyday.

Thank you for making it very clear that I should leave this repair for someone like you. Nice video.

[pauljohnson]

Super excellent video best walkthrough I've seen, this lady knows what she's doing

[Kenwood]

I should buy my parts from 1A auto as thanks for these videos.

[latinpimp]

Greta video. Very thorough. Thank you for taking the time to film it and sharing the knowledge

[renegade]

So much respect for mechanics that have to deal with rust like this on every car they work on. I'm glad I live in the desert on the west coast ;-)

My god that thing looks like it’s spent half its life as a boat anchor! Great video thanks, though I feel like replacing the rear main no matter how it looks is probably a good idea.

Your my favorite you’ve saved me so much on repairs
