1999 Honda Civic Engine and Transmission Replacement

In this video I replace the engine and automatic transmission in my sons 1999 Honda Civic. Personally, I don’t see this as a difficult job, especially if you’re fortunate enough to have a lift. Even if you don’t have a lift, take your time, keep your fasteners organized, and you should be fine. You might also consider taking pictures along the way as reference so that you get everything back the way it’s suppose to go. Even with that, you might have to improvise like I did in this video.

I hope you find this information useful!

  1. Not sure if this will get answered..but I have a 99 Civic, manual tranny. It recently overheated. I was out and it ran hot, I happened to be near a parking lot so I stopped the car, called for help and had coolant brought to me. We found a hose that had split, ran and got a new one, installed it. Drove the car to my kids' house, as it was closer and checked some things. Replaced the thermostat just in case, they're cheap, so we usually do on the cars this happens to. Ran it for a while to make sure it was good. Seemed fine. Left to drive it home, which is about 14 miles, but heavy traffic all the way. Did fine about 5 miles. Started running hot again, I turned the heater on full blast and all the way up. Helped for a couple miles. Red lights did not help. Eventually the gage went up into the red (which I had avoided until this point), it would not go down. I had to pull off the road about a mile from home, so had gone about 13 miles. Got water in the radiator once it cooled down, as I had stopped at a collision shop. Made it home. I have not driven it since. I am wondering, how to KNOW if the head gasket is blown or the block cracked. I have put ALOT of work into this car, I love it, and was trying to fix it up. Unfortunately, I have no one like you, Eric, that is an actual mechanic. We all know what we know, and learn more all the time, mostly from your videos. I am trying to decide if it is worth finishing and fixing, as there was still the paint job and some wire cleaning and repair to do with the harness from the dash area that goes into the driver door.
    Basically I just need to know if there are fairly simple steps I can do to know it is the block or a blown head gasket, and not just maybe the radiator or another hose we failed to see leaking, or that all the hoses need replacing…please help. And thank you for your videos…they have made me more knowledgeable, for sure.

  2. I've been watching your videos for years and I want to say a massive thanks, you have been a huge help with nearly if not all my own projects. Legend.

  3. I had my old 99 engine taken out and replaced with a fresher 97. I think it's still only 200, 000 K. Runs great leaks some oil out of the oil pan.

  4. Eric I need help man I am a trying to fix my 05 accord thr Transmission is not doing so good I don't really have the money to buy a new one any idea how to find a good one in the junk yard

  5. at 15:48 he refers to flushing out the heater core, valuable information and a good thing to do when you got the engine out.

    only commenting because I was having trouble recalling which honda civic video shared this info.

    Anyone know if he has a video discussing valve adjustments on the D series engines?

  6. So do all offspring just beat their (their parent’s) cars to pieces? I’ve to a 1 and a 3 year old and am not looking forward to them driving….ha!

  7. Great video i have a 2002 honda stream with d17a2 engine and would like to swap engine and transmission with 1.7 CDTI Diesel. Could this work? Would be great if you could make a video on this 👍

  8. I have a 99 honda civic and there's a problem where my rpm reaches the line in between 3 and 4 and begins to like stall or rev then when I break and come to a complete stop it starts to rev and stall or it'll shut off whats that mean?

  9. Idk, I would call Charles the Humble Mechanic and ask him to help you pick up some 10 year old VW for your son. Clearly, these are only slightly less labor intensive than 25 year old Hondas but should have less rust, more powah and be a lot safer in a crash.

  10. The Green 99 Civic! I learned so much from you working on this car in your other videos. My 99 EX is still kicking with 180,000 miles on it. Thanks Eric!

  11. I did a engine swap on a 1998 honda civic ex couple and everything work fine i just have a issue now I can't figure out it seems to be idling weird I changed the spark plugs new* and spark plug wires the timing is on time and everything erikthecarguy can you help please I need your help on this if you can message me back would be a big help
