Answer 1

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery and the transaxle.

Unlock the steering and make sure the transaxle is out of gear.

Raise and safely support the vehicle and remove the front wheels.

Disconnect all the wiring from the starter and the transaxle.

Unclip and remove the speedometer cable at the transaxle; do not disassemble the speedometer gear holder.

Disconnect the clutch cable from the release arm.

Remove the side and top starter mounting bolts.

Drain the transaxle oil.

Remove the splash shields from the underside.

Remove the stabilizer bar.

Disconnect the left and right lower ball joints and tie rods ends, using a ball joint remover.

Use caution when removing the ball joints. Place a suitable floor jack under the lower control arm securely at the ball joint. Otherwise, the lower control arm may jump suddenly away from the steering knuckle as the ball joint is removed.

Turn the right steering knuckle out as far as it will go. Place a small prybar against the inboard CV-joint and carefully pry the right halfshaft out of the transaxle about 13mm. This will force the spring clip out of the groove inside the differential gear splines. Pull it out the rest of the way. Repeat this procedure on the other side.

Attach a suitable chain hoist to the engine and lift the engine slightly to take the weight off the mounts.

Disconnect the header pipe at the exhaust manifold.

Disconnect the shift lever torque rod. To disconnect the shift linkage forward of the universal joint, slide the pin retainer out of the way and drive out the roll pin.

Raise a transaxle jack securely against the transaxle to take up the weight.

Remove the bolts from the front transaxle mount at the front engine stiffener.

Remove the intake manifold bracket and the rear engine mount bracket.

Remove the transaxle housing bolts from the engine torque bracket.

Remove the remaining starter mounting bolts and take out the starter.

Remove the remaining transaxle mounting bolts.

Pull the transaxle away from the engine until it clears the 14mm dowel pins, then lower on the transaxle jack.

Spend 25 dollars and buy a service manual for your vehicle

Answer 3

you will need to remove both of the half shafts the starter, any and all of th mounts that are in the way, the clutch cable needs to be detached at least, remove the speedometer (cable at least) shift linkage, i would pull the battery and the tray out for better access. i would drop that trans to the ground and slide it out from under the car. if you are doing a clutch, you can just leave it where it sits and work around it. i have found it easier to deal with to remove the hood so that i have more clearance, but mark the position of the hood bolts before you remove that so that you can line it back up to where it should be. if you get stuck get back to me. i had the fun job of doing that one on a 90 civic. that can not be that different than what you are doing right now/
