2010 honda fit base.

anyone wear out their clutch yet?

 

I havent seen a DIY, but I know one guy has done it and he said it was a PITA

 

It looks like a very VERY easy job. Hardest part is simply getting access, via intake ducting and battery removal

 

Read his other posts. This is the exact last person that needs to be attempting this.

 

No not at all.

Do not attempt this repair.

 

wow you make it sound so easy.

what a coincidence. i've already got those two things removed.

i guess the hard parts over right

I was able to understand the service manual fine but there are usually little snags that aren't mentioned in there. plus the pictures (black and white) are not nearly as helpful as actual photographs of the procedures

 

I've done it a couple times on a GD3 and I don't think it's an easy job. Sure, the individual steps aren't crazy. But then most automotive work is easy if you're just looking at the individual steps (remove this, reinstall that, turn this bolt, that screw, etc.). The intake ducting and battery are EASY. Whoever said those are the hardest steps is as wrong as wrong can be. Even jacking up the car and removing the wheels, in my opinion, is more involved than that, which you will have to do too. At least that requires more tools and steps than removing a battery or intake duct.

There are a lot of things to remove: Axles, some engine mounts, transmission mounts, the transmission itself, and some other stuff. I'm not listing everything because that'll take too long to remember and type out. You'll need a variety of tools (extensions, and some specialty tools like star sockets, pilot bearing tool) and an extra pair of hands was helpful. An impact gun will save you a lot of time too, unless you don't mind spending hours ratcheting away at miscellaneous bolts.

I don't know if there's a DIY out there, I basically just went for it with a friend and we figured it out along the way. The first time around, it took us two days, but not two entire days. It took a long time partly because we were trying to figure out the best way to get to the clutch/flywheel, and ended up removing some things that we didn't need to. The second time around, it only took us 5 hours or so (your time may vary, a lot).

I'd say this is a very involved task.

 

ha

Some people say doing a clutch on a 88-05 civic is hard.

That shit can be done in a few hours with proper beer motivation adn the occasional smoke break.

Its all in experience and how confident and informed you are at the task at hand

and the fit would fall under it in difficulty. No bulky crossmember, axles slide in and out with ease, and all the bolts are less then 10 rusty years old lol

 

Bumping this thread for the above question. Curious as to mileage on a Fit that needed a new clutch.
