Ok, so my 97 with 89k miles needs a new transmission. I pulled 2 codes PO700 and PO715 but today, the dealer just got a PO715 and said its the turbine speed shaft/torque converter which she said is the transmission i guess. so $3276.96..what the hell do i do?

 

its clearly up to u. i feel ur pain and so does most of the guys here... its not cheap but ur CL still has low miles. some of these guys have over 190k on their CLs. i mean this car will run if maintaining it the correct way. i rebuilt my CL @ 134K. i mean its worth it but at the same time most guys r at their 4th tranny. OR u could jus get another car with that same cash. perhaps a civic or a teg. i heard pretty good things about them and not much recalls such as trannys and motor

 

so they're hitting you for a whole rebuild even though it's just the TC? I would go to a tranny shop and see if they can just replace the TC to see if that helps

 

there's no junky yards that you cna get a tranny from ? or a shop that you can take yours to get fixed ? cuz i would not pay that much money to fix a car. i would just buy another one just like mo said

 

Im not sure...its funny though because all of this shit started last friday when i had to get it towed...and i finally was able to get it to the dealer today...my mom said forget the tow truck, just drive it and if it stops working, THEN we'll call AAA...but amazingly, I made it there with no problems. It worked fine today driving, but i guess the dealer is insisting i need a new one. Other shops around here want between 2800-3200 anyway...i love my car but shit thats a lot.

 

damn... sorry buddy i would just have to go with another car. cuz wow that much money into a car ? i would rather put a down payment on something new

 

Seriously, just sell the CL if you can manage to sell it for parts or something. Buy a new car :p

 

SHIT! TOLD YOU it was TRANNY!Good luck with it...just maybe get a new car?

 

i got my mom to make the decision right before the dealer closed...and im GETTING IT FIXED! theyre going to just do that axles while theyre there and its around $3200 all together. I cant see myself selling it...just getting my stuff out of the car made me sad...i mean its just money right? you only live once? ill get the TL i want eventually? i dunno but i have a week with a loaner then ill have her back and running...she better not fuck up again!

 

lol she BETTER not fuck up again cuz...like i said...alot of guys here r on their 3rd tranny and its no joke. and as far as the TLs r concerned, i hate the newer ones...08-09 models...UGLY back design to that car...IMO

 

nooo not the new ones haha i like the 04-07...but we'll see!

 

Oh my god... I had no idea a 3.0 tranny cost that much. You can't source a transmission yourself and put it in?

+1 for the I4's.

 

naw i just figured id just get it over with...i do like the TSX V6 i got for a loaner...but i cant get too comfortable with it or ill start loving it and then have to give it back haha

 

that hurts, damn

 

goodluck buddy and hore that tsx !!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
