I recently had a rebuilt transmission put in my 98 2.3 auto. The car only had 65K when my first tranny went out. I've read a lot of posts about the auto trannies, and it sounds like my rebuilt one will go too. The car drives a lot better, but rough shifts are still slightly noticable to me. I would be willing to bet that my new tranny will keep getting worse, and I'll need a new one again. All these problems are too much for me! Does anyone have any advise for me cuz I don't really want to get rid of the cl, but selling it seems like my only choice. I don't have the time, money, or patience to deal with more tranny problems!

 

my auto tranny lasted 87k miles. that is until i got into a small accident, three months ago, and i havent drove my car since then. i think it wouldve lasted, a long time.

 

maybe a a 5 spd. conversion? out of a wrecked accord/cl

 

I just paid 2k for a rebuild. Can't afford anything else. A h22 engine and transmission would be great tho.

 

you payed 2k for a rebuild......homie, 1k woulda got you stick, 3k woulda got you h22a and stick.....

 

ya i kinda got screwed. my car broke down in the middle of nowhere and there was only one shop I could take it to without having my car towed like 150 miles. I really wanted to get my car out of there and to a better shop, but my parents wouldn't do it. Since they were fronting me the money I had no choice. It took them from Nov. 19th to Jan 4th to finally get it running(the mechanic said he lost around $10k in labor time- prolly b/c he had no clue what he was doing). So you can see why i'm pissed to have finally gotten it back and the shift quality is still not that great. Right now the tranny reminds me of when I first noticing problems about a year ago, so naturally, I think it will get worse over time. I hate to say it but I think my only option is to sell the car.

 

are our trannys really that bad??

 

The 3.0 sucks for some people but havent heard many problems with the 2.2/2.3 auto. I think many people did a manual swap or h22 swap.

 

yo, im not shouting at you baka t, but damn...........us 2.2's have just as much trouble as the 3.0's. im tired of everyone thinking us 2.2's dont have any tranny trouble. i know a few guys with 2.2's who have trouble...i for one am about to lose my tranny.....which is fine, im goin h22 aswell.

 

:pee: 2.2 auto tranny

 

Daymn dude i haven't herd about the trouble with the 2.2 auto i guess every auto tranny honda makes sucks.

 

Mine was realllly bad. It would slip for about 5 -7 seconds in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears almost always. Its a boat anchor now...

 

thats not a bad idea..........i might just toss mine in the water out front of the house with a bouey tied to it so i have somewhere to tie up the sailboat...otherwise, mines useless too....i sure cant shift gears any good.........im sure itll make a great sailboat marker tho!
