The network doesn't need to see an entire frame before determining a collision has occured; as soon as it detects a transmission after or during the process of sending a frame there is a collision. Theoretically then it could be a part of a frame as small as a byte.
No.
the transmission is located on the driver's side of the engine and yes the engine has to be removed to change the transmission
That would depend on how much fluid was removed. Was it a typical fluid and filter replacement or was the transmission removed. If the tranny was not removed. always start with about 4 to 6 quarts. If the transmission has been removed and the torque converter drained, then about 8 to 10 quarts.
No. The access cover for the differential is only an inch or two forward of the K-frame/firewall in most applications. In order to replace the bearings, the differential carrier must be removed from the transmission; there is not enough clearance to do so with the transmission mounted to the engine, assuming you could even get the differential cover plate off. You will have to remove the transmission. The best way is to support the engine with a jack under the oil pan, unbolt the transmission, unbolt and mark the torque converter with respect to its position on the flywheel, and then lower the transmission out of the bottom of the car using an engine hoist. unless you drop the k frame, you will need to separate the lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends steering intermediate shaft and power steering hoses (if you only drop the frame down and don't completely remove it you wont need to touch the power steering hose) and the 4 bolts that hold the k frame to the unibody. anybody who has worked on a car before can probally do this. that should give lots of room to get at the diff.
Removing the transmission on a 1998 Honda Civic takes time as it engine will need to be remove as well. The engine mounts will need to be removed, coolant drained, hoses removed and shift linkage removed. When everything is properly loosened, using an engine hoist, lift the motor out. Disconnect the transmission from the engine and replace the unit.
Yes ... You need to support the engine from above,there is a hanger that attaches to the top of the shock towers that has a hook on it that will support the engine, when you remove the engine cradle (frame) below.
No, but the suspension cradle may need removed.
The transmission must be removed, and put back in, not replaced.
The transmission fluid is not meant to ever need servicing unless the transmission pan has to be removed to repair the transmission. there are special tools involved that are a pain to use.
No. The engine does not need removed to replace the transmission.
NO, but the entire wheel assembly will have to be removed.
