It's so much easier to remove the radiator and pull the engine and transmission all at once. I've did several. Own 3 3rd TL's and one is a racecar. I have dropped the subframe engine and transmission all together. After doing several I remove hood then radiator and pull the engine and transmission out the top. Can be did in day and not in nose to the grindstone either. I disconnect the exhaust and leave the pre-cats on the engine. Once pop the axles out you can just let them hang inside the wishbone of the strut. Take out nuts for the engine mounts from the bottom of the subframe everything comes out the top. Much easier to work on outside the vehicle. I won't ever drop the subframe again on Acura or Honda

I"m about to do this, thank god I read your post. I was really saying to myself....do I really need to remove the subframe? I'd rather take everything out in one piece and reattach it outside. This also gives me the ability to go over the engine entirely. Thanks for the info

Hello I have a 2007 Acura mdx that’s needs a rear seal but at the moment I have this suction sound that it makes whenever I give it the gas off the stop and sometimes when I hit the break coming to a stop it seems to kink up as the only way to describe it do you have any idea what the noise could be doesn’t do it when it rain outside but the sound is like a electronic pumping noise thanks and do I have to get a new computer if I ever change the rear main seal ? I intend to try and change most parts once I do the o ring any recommendations what I should change while it’s down like the torc converter and what else ty are you in the mass area just wondering for maybe a mech in the soon future

According to the maintenance manual you can just loosen the subframe. I’m going to be attempting this Thursday pr Friday. Wish me luck. 😢😢😢

Loosen the subframe??? I'll agree to an extent, but that subframe has to come all the way out. I can't see how one would manipulate the transmission during removal to fully have space. If you manage to remove without subframe removal, please post a how to! Thanks!

Blake W 06 Base. 96k. Got the subframe down last week. Then realized i should change rear main seal and torque converter seal on the trans. So waiting for those parts. Had my original trans rebuilt. Drive hard and didn’t take care of fluid. My fault. But going to us jdm mkea swap solenoids and pressure switches. Will update soon

@@Hibachipower it's less components to remove just removing the subframe. It's honestly not that bad, just a lengthy job, ive personally hate doing 2000 ford Taurus transmissions because the subframe is heavy! This one's lighter. There's more stuff you're likely to break removing entire engine and more times removing harnesses.

@@Hibachipower it's personal preference... A person with experience can repair this easier than a 1st timer with video edit. I say that to say, there isn't a right or wrong way to go about this, you'll have to take it one bolt at a time. You can't remove this from the top with engine stationary, no clearence. I think the guy youre referring to did a manual transmission if I recall. This is a 10hr job, 8hr if you're extremely lucky. If things are rusted its only worse. If you're intimidated by subframe removal, go from the top. That's not my rout, but you're definitely not removing the subframe
