Too bad i can't part with my tranny, wonder if i could find one to send

slamed_cl_on_18z

man 3,500$. What type of transmission is this? manual/auto? how much speeds?

REDLINEN

3500$ to rebuild a tranny?????? Hom much is the average Cl that needs one worth???

agranado

these dr.evil trannys are no joke though... built to withstand 500hp or some shit? They're built out of fucking plutonium kryptonite steel shit.

Basically to buy one of these = youre supercharging your 3.0, dropping the clutch at every stoplight, and burnouts everytime you leave your house and the tranny would shine like a diamond.


(well maybe not that bad, but the supercharge part at least yes)

jermz123

the price is not bad. i think it used to be what $5000(+/-) when they first introduced it? btw turbo>supercharger. with a 500hp tolerance on the tranny, id make a turbo kit for the 3.0cl with more power and possibly equal to the price of doing a comptech supercharged one. the shift points might have to be changed though depending on how fast full spool on the turbo will be.

Time For Sleeep

From what I've seen on people that have reinforced transmissions; it just seems like the transmissions we have are just too faulty to ever fix. (mtnbiker)

I dunno, does anyone know about the doctor evil though? I would seriously love to jump all over this. I've been dreading having to sell this car off once it hits 100,000 miles, but if the dr. evil is for real, I'd love to keep it til' it explodes...

agranado

if you could get a turbo built for the 3.0... then by all means, DOO ETT

If you look at the forum, you would reallize that TURBO on a V-TEC is not an easy task... Comptech only makes an SC for the 3.0. And to be honnest, unless you are tricking it out for uniqueness, it isn't worth it. The CL was not meant to be a stock car, it was meant to be an entry-level lux. So, if you want to drive like the Bandit, go get you a HEMMI, otherwise... the best your gonna turn out of the J30 is around 310 whp with the COMPTECH SC.

Good luck, there are a few custom turbos out there.

yeah the second gen's don't have the luxury of Dr. evil transmissions. they have all used some sort of remanufactured transmissions. The dr evil transmission is not just rebuilt, but the parts they use on the internals are actually made of stronger materials than stock, it also includes a limited slip differential (LSD) which would be hella nice in the snow here in colorado .

02AV6 has a Dr evil transmission on his supercharged/intercooled/built internals accord v6 with 3.5 swap and is pushing around 351 whp I think, hasn't had a single problem in 15k miles on it .

I personally am in on the GB because I plan on keeping this car till it no longer runs. I'll be moving back in with the 'rents for a few months which should get me up to enough money for this. My tranny has been acting up anwyays.

SwervinCL

Whered you come from? I have not seen you on here unless you just moved to vegas?

ghost_masterCL

Cocao was trying to get rid of his tranny from his old car for either very cheap or free, as I recall. you should shoot him a PM.

av6ent

What you getting is a tranny rebuild from scrach, the only thing remains is your OEM cover (everything inside is strong shit + awesome quality). Torque converter made by Hughes and you also getting LSD . Many tried and failed to keep the power and Dr.Evil is the one who holds strong.

Watch this. This guy the last I heard made 321whp on it and tranny doing fine



Bottom line, whether you stock or highly modded doesn't matter. If you need a reliable tranny Dr. Evil is da shit

ajtcl

Nice, real nice.

Time For Sleeep

I'm just afraid of dropping down the $3500 needed, then 50,000 miles down the road; it craps out again because the acura/honda transmission just is not curable.

And I thought they were able to do the 2nd gen CL's too? (Basically making it a 4AT)

agranado

this is yours no? fucking beautiful... My favorite accord evar

av6ent

I won't craps out. There is another Accord V6 guy who's running over 2 years on it with supercharger and 7-8psi and it's perfect . Honda supposed to build the tranny the way Dr. Evil did with strong and reliable components

Not sure if Dr. Evil ever built 5AT for J32, but sure they can.

av6ent

I wish . It's 02AV6 and one and only

jermz123

i been on this board since like 01-02. then it became acurazine and i made another sn. i dont post much if i need info ill search for it before posting . anyways ppl jump on this gb! good deal

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

Great deal! Only $3500.....I remember when I considered this tranny, it was around $4600. LSD, higher stall convertor, and can withstand around 300+whp, what else can you guys ask for.......

agranado

300 huh? I guess I was off a bit

REDLINEN

Ok in that case ill just shut the fuck up. Lol But thats good too know. Now I see why its worth the money. I might have too pick one up when I supercharge the CL-s. If they have one for my app.

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

I believe they are good to 400hp to the crank. Which makes it around 300+whp. But I may be wrong. I havent looked at one of those in over a year!

You guys wans a dead tranny to have them rebuild it? I'll sell mine if you want. I got mine replaced and still have the dead one in my warehouse. The lock up solenoid died and there are no gears when you try to shift. I dunno. Shoot me an offer...

artbran

iTrader: (2)

For those of you who dont remember, its out of a 99 3.0 with 118k miles

VB87

It seems like a lot of people haven't heard about this tranny. This tranny is a complete internal rebuilt. There's a review by someone who 's got it on that site too.

ib_jimmy

i would but i dont plan to keep this car forever...look to buy a 1gen NSX something at the begining of next year.

Time For Sleeep

When they say that the tranny is a completely internally rebuilt, essentially they just strip out the shitty honda/acura parts and replace w/ their own clutchpacks, gears and such right?

I figure, if my tranny craps out after 100,000 miles, I would send it to Dr. Evil for them to replace instead of paying Acura ~$5,000 to get it re-done.

I paid $2,800 for my tranny rebuild from aamco that already feels rough at times, If I had known now what I knew then and the price wasn't 4K I would have gone for the dr evil. Now I will either have to save up for dr evil, or just do the 6 speed swap

ib_jimmy

^i would got with the 6speed sway for $4K

ghost_masterCL

yes that's right, they not only replace the clutch packs and gears with custopm built internals of more durable materials, but they also completely replace every single internal piece with a reworked one and "tune" it to have firmer quicker shifts.

ib_jimmy

still 4 gears only?

ghost_masterCL

yep same exact transmission with every single part stronger and better than the stock ones. Also has LSD.

good luck trying to get a 6-speed swap for $4k. MAYBE if you do all the work yourself, and know how to do all the wiring and tricking the ecu stuff, then go ahead. I'd say the absolute minimum is $6k for the swap, plus you'd probably run into problems downt he line with having to replace clutches, other parts that weren't meant to be doing what they were doing.

ib_jimmy

doesnt matter, i aint doing no tranny work on this bitch anymore. just got it rebuilt about 2 years ago. imma drive this hoe to the ground.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

That's what I'm plannin to do, have to figure out how to trick the 3.0 ecu to not freak out

ib_jimmy

doesnt our CL have a sperate computer box for just the tranny?

ghost_masterCL

comeon homies we gotta get 5 peeps. diggity.

viet97cl3.0
