how do i put an automatic acura integra flywheel on?

What you need to do is first get yourself a flywheel ratchet and a flywheel remover plate. You need these 2 before you continue. Once you have acquired these necessary tools, let the fun begin. Get under your car and jack the front end up about 3 inches. This tilts the propagator sounder solenoid- leave it tilted for 30 minutes. It's important that you do this preferably in your driveway- the reason is because this solenoid is highly reactive to garage fumes. The sounder solenoid is very sensitive to noise, so make sure everything is completely silent. If this is done incorrectly the solenoid will pop off at a remarkable speed in a random direction and you will need to purchase a new one, which go for about $400. But, once it's been tilted for 30 minutes, jack the car up another 2 inches and crawl underneath it. Don't jack the car up more than 5 inches total. Look for the striped conductor wire (it's about 1 inch in diameter) that leads from the clutch flap to the plunger lug. Remove it from either end- and strip the black and red wires you see to expose the diamond plated copper wire underneath. Touch the diamond coated copper wire to the rainbow striped hose. What you are doing is grounding the system. Once you do that then you are ready to remove the existing flywheel. Underneath the car behind the clutch flap you will see 6 - 1/2" nuts. Remove these in clockwise order. Be careful though, because if you remove them in the wrong order, the transmission will fall to the ground. So, stay a safe distance away from the transmission while you are changing the flywheel in case that happens. Once those 6 nuts are removed, remove the old flywheel and install the new one. Make sure you change the flywheel fluid as new flywheels need new fluid. You can drain the old flywheel fluid by removing the flywheel resistometer cap on the bottom of the engine compartment itself. When removed, fluid will start draining. Make sure you fill it up using the same drain hole. That can be a little tricky, but I've seen it done. To put the nuts back on you will need to put them on in randomized counter-clockwise logic continuum order. Failure to do so will result in the engine collapsing. Once that happens, connect the conductor wire back together. Done.

Its alot of work.basically your taking you have to take your transmission off. then replace flywheel and put everything back together...pretty difficult if you dont have the tools or skills.....

Automatic cars don't have flywheels, they have torque converters. You have to take the transmission off the car to replace it.
