This is how to remove the starter, this will work even w/ the motor in the car.

Just enough room for your hand.

These are the clutch components and how to install them correctly.

This is the little template you'll have to drill through to mount the master cylinder.

The motor had a bad rear main seal, you can tell by the oil tracks that go down from the crank. You'll want to do this before the clutch assemblies, you wouldn't want to have to undo all your work.

Old and new rear main seal.

The Acura Vigor has a "Pull-Type" clutch, wherein you have to install the throwout bearing inside the clutch pressure plate.

Clutch fully installed.

This rear sensor is the back-up light switch, I'll need to splice it into the proper wire.

rnmtwins's 1992 Acura Vigor

Compared to the wiring on the auto trans, the back-up light switch and the clutch/neutral switch are the only ones I need to worry about.

hello, successfully changed the vcg, it was a snap indeed, thanks for the 411. Was also wondering if I could have your advice again, it seems my oil pressure switch has gone, I see on the sketch up in the manual where it is located above the oil filter and cooler, but I can't seem to get to it, and it's rather difficult to feel around for, i think it's in a tight spot. I wonder, would I have to jack up the car to access it? I haven't been able to find anywhere online a photo of the exact location, I'd really appreciate the help. Cheers.

Hello, saw your ride, great pics! Was looking on google about how to change a valve cover gasket on a 1992 Acura Vigor GS, think you could be of any help? It'd be greatly appreciated, cheers

Very impressive. I played with the idea of doing this conversion myself. Drop by the acuravigorclub.com sometime, you're expertise would be always welcomed there!
