so we all know that our transmissions are POS's, but i just had my third transmission related problem. three years ago, my dad was driving my car on the highway and the transmission just shattered. got a rebuilt one for a little less than $3000. then last year, a pipe blew out and my transimission fluid leaked the hell out everywhere and i couldnt get into any gear at all. then today, my car refused to stay in first. like itll be in the park position and the engine will be revving itself up to 3000 and then all of a sudden drop. anyway, couldnt drive in first at all, basically the car went off the line in second.

so i dropped it off at the nearest place, which was Napa, and they're gonna get back to me on it tomorrow.

i know these trannies are pretty notorious for going out, but this is ridiculous. i thought acura/honda's ae supposed to be well known for their reliability.

 

yeah, alot of the honda trannys are bad tho some are good

 

yeah.. most of honda/acura trannies suck

 

if you have a 98...you just just buy one of mine if you'd like.....200 bucks picked up...

 

well turns out my idle controller motor went out, so need a new one of those. $120.

 

bah i just got mine yesterday and aamco got me for $3800.00.

 

Damn bro, I just paid $2700 at aamco, and thought I got raped. 4 g'z is outrageous.

 

Should have went for Dr. Evil if you're going to spend that kind of money.

 

He would owe them another grand. You can't touch D.E. for less than $5K. Oh well. hope your new rebuild works good. Mine has been in for just under a year. I only paid $2K, but I know the guys. Acura crate remanufactured for $1,400, and the rest was labor.

 

dood i wish i had the hook up cus right now im fighting to make this months morgage

 

i know i got raped but they pretty much replaced every in the freakin tranny except of the core. they showed me my tranny when it was apart and there was metal shreads everywhere and the clutch packs were so worn that they started to carbonize. but hey they threw in their top of the line tranny cooler for free as so they say. (free)

$2849 in parts
$1350 in labor
10% discount
total cost $3855.78

 

Wow, that hurts.
