Ok guys, well I called Acura and they told me to kiss their ass on a free replacement. So looks like I am doing the tranny swap for sure. When I do the swap, I am take pictures and such to do a DIY, I know that would help many of us here. I want to post up pictures of what needs to be replaced from the TL tranny to the Accord tranny.
3rd and 4th pressure sensors, pictures of them on the TL tranny, remove those and put them on the Accord tranny. I would recommend buying new ones though just like Stephen said.
3rd pressure location
3rd pressure removal
4th pressure location
4th pressure removal
Range switch removal
Range switch neutral position
Oil warmer, located on the top of the transmission, it is in a box with the number 1 next to it.

I forgot to ask, anyone one who has had a Oil Jet kit, I was told the it is not needed but what is done with the hose leading into the jet?
Also, how much fluid does the Accord AV6 Tranny take? Are you supposed to place transmission fluid in the convertor? Haven't messed with Auto trannys in a while!

NO!! I didn't crack open the converter so it already had fluid in it. I only put fluid into the drain whole which is the case and that was about 3.5 quarts. You don't have to put fluid in the torque converter unless you crack it open

Oh and for those of you doing this because your trans died. DONT reuse your torque converter.

Like Stephen said, the gasket for the oil warmer and filter is needed, the rest is to be just sure, they are only a couple more bucks.

I have a trans in sight right now, they want 1150$ And it has 79k on it, 199 day warranty, a 33 day full refund guaranty.
It says best offer, I'm going to offer 800$ and see what's up, shipping is 75$, what you guys think?
It's the best deal I found, the rest of the trannies have 97k and they want 800$ with 125$ for shipping, only 30 day warranty. To high in miles for me.

I went with one with less miles because it should last longer and it's not going to be beat up for higher amounts of miles. Also of the person never changed te fluid they were still within te recommended interval

checking in here:
just got my car back lastnight from a buddy who did 06 accord swap for me. car shifts like a dream and WOW talk about firm steering now. sort of feels like there's no power steering at times though but for people doing this swap, be prepared for VERY FIRM steering.

yeah when not moving i'm like damnit but while driving it feels real nice haha i just hope nothing gets damaged long term. i already have enough stuff to replace right now
i noticed though that it feels like overdrive isn't kicking in for me. at 70mph i'm at about 2200-2300 rpm, i don't rememeber if this is where it used to rev at while traveling at that speed. otherwise shifting is like a dream

so if i ever need to replace the 3rd/4th gear pressure sensors. are the sensors the same for acura/honda? my buddy said he used my old pressure sensors from the tl tranny and i'm not having any issues.

If you have a tl p there is a powersteerig speed sensor that connects to the transmission. There is not a spot for it on the new transmission so you have to grab a hose to loop the rack. Since there is no more sensor the steering is tighter especially while trying to turn the wheel without the car moving. If you have a type s you don't have to worry about it

Same indicator lights > bad outcome
Hey guys, sorry for adding to a old tread but I am in trouble, I am currently texting from aside the road. My 03 TL Type S just hit me with the CE, VSA, and /!\ light combo. I'm letting it cool down for a bit before I try to make it home, kinda died on me and I wasn't able to do anything about it. I am interested in the Accord transmission for sure, I will be needing one soon it looks like. Does the triptronic still work if you do the swap? Also does anyone have a shop in the Tri-State area that has done the job? I am so busy with school and work that I may not have the time to do it. This couldn't have happened at a worse time for me financially wise.
I found someone near Bloomsburg PA which is going to do the swap for me as I do not have an engine lift. Otherwise, I'd probably try to tackle it myself. I'm looking for an accord transmission this weekend. I hope you fare better!

That same thing happened to me last Wednesday night when my tranny completely failed. I found someone near Bloomsburg PA which is going to do the swap for me as I do not have an engine lift. Otherwise, I'd probably try to tackle it myself. I'm looking for an accord transmission this weekend. I hope you fare better!
