DIY: Manual Transmission Removal (5-Speed) (91-96)

[Chris_Lum]

In this video I'll guide you on a step-by-step process to remove the 5-speed manual transmission out of your 1991-1996 Acura/Honda NSX. The 6-speed found in the 97-05 NSXs should be similar, but some steps and torque specs may be different, so if you have a 97-05 NA2, please be aware before you attempt to reference this video. Torque specs for the 5 speed manual transmission are listed throughout the video. There will NOT be an install video, so simply reverse the order of operation found in this removal video. As always, I highly recommend watching this video all the way through before attempting. Transmission work should be done by professionals, use this video as a reference at your own risk.
