Oh man, my tranny is starting to slip. today it was just slipping so bad i had to drive with the hazard light on. Then i dont know what happen it start driving fine again, but i think i might need to look for a new-used tranny and putting on myself with the help of my gfs dad. What i needa know is "would a 98+ Accord v6 tranny fit perfectly into the 3.0CL? i know their the same motor and all...but i'm just making sure before i buy one and it doesn't fit because its off a lil (i dont know)...so what do u guys think? exactly the same or not?

I have one sitting in my garage, 1 or 2 mounts have to be fitted differentlly but it lines up PERFECT.. other then 2 mounts or so..

Repo1234

Damn, it seems as if though everyone's tranny is going out on them!

97Acura3.0CL

yeah



i heard it wont line up right and you will have problems with the computer/ecu recognizing the new tranny but dont get a used one your just asking to put another one in, in about 6 months

ib_jimmy

i was either thinking about getting a used one with low milage from at least a 2000 model. but if it aint gonna line up right or the mount is off i think imma just get it rebuilt. How much u think u will run me to rebuilt that tranny?

Oh after 145K miles on that stock tranny, its finally start slipping yesterday, but only for a few minutes after that its been running just like before. I'm still planning to get that fix tho.

ib_jimmy

I'm also thinking about upgrading the tranny too if imma get it rebuilt. I wanna do a 6speed covertion but thats just too much work and money and we dont even know if its reliable. So what can i do with this stock tranny? any way i can make it into a 5speed auto? or put in a stronger torque converter?

ib_jimmy

Hey does this meaning the whole brand new tranny?

Acura3.0CL

wow, i must of gotten lucky with my CL...ive got 108K miles and im still on the stock tranny....although i think the trade off was that i got the slowest 3.0 ever made in 97'....

not sure what u mean the whole picture is the engine block and head and tranny.

Part 3 is the tranny what did it say 950 or something for it? with warranty?

ib_jimmy

Nah i was just looking at Part 3...i dont know what it mean by WARRANTY A/T KIT. I think imma call them up sometime this weekend. hope their open. shoot $927.08 for a brand new tranny that's a bargin.

wilp99

927$ is for the dealership tranny if u have a warranty on ur origional tranny. theres acually a nother price of like 2750$ or so in there too. and no the 98 accord tranny will not work. even a tranny from a 97 cl will not work cause it has two different sensors (main shaft and primairy speed sensors) on it that the 98-99 dont have (only a single speed sensor.) u have an m7za tranny. i know the 97 is also a m7za tranny but like i said earlier...... for the whole price w/o warranty. look under-------- gasket kit-engine assembly-transmission assembly. in the acura automotive parts list. hope this helps.

ib_jimmy

kewl i'm just making sure...cuz i was looking into the accord and 98,99 CL tranny. I'm taking my car to a transmission shop today after work to have it checked out and might get it completly rebuilt.

Also i was gonna look into a 6speed tranny conversion, either the 03 CL-S or the 03 Accord. Ya'll got any full detail on what all the mod involve in it?

wilp99

theres alot envolved. rewiring to remove the governor (park and neutral) hard wiring in the 6 speed computer, pedals, shifter, parts, custom fabricated brackets. there alot of shit. altho i was thinkin of tackling the 3.2s and 6 speed swap. and just rewiring the whole engine compartment (i think this would be easier).

CLScotty97

this is prolly a stupid question, but when our trannys shit the bed, is it possible to throw a 5 speed transmission on the 3.0. Its not a rare engine and im surprised noone has tried it. Probably for obvious reasons, lemi know whats up....

CLpower

if you have a warranty you shouldn't be giving the dealer any money

98AcuraCLpimp

so is the $927 tranny, after the core charge? i dont really understand? warranty?

wilp99

no thats what the dealer would pay for it when they installed it into ur car. then they would get that money back from honda of america after they turned the old one back in for rebuild.

98AcuraCLpimp

so is the price on that page what we would pay?

wilp99

no.... theres a price of 927$ thats what the dealer pays for warranty part. u dont pay anything if u have a warranty. the $2700+ is what u pay if u dont have a warranty. u under stand now?

ib_jimmy

Ok the transmission shop told me my torque converter got really hot and messed up....a couple of things inside was messed up so and the cast is crack but just a hair line so they can fix it easily. I should be getting my car back tomorrow. Cost me $2100.

ib_jimmy

Transmission code 700 that wat it was showing.

ib_jimmy

oh and they said the top mount of the tranny was out and that wat cause the crack on the housing.
