Ya its me again with the tranny problem.

SO here is where im at.

I need to either

A) Replace the Tranny with a USed one. This could run me maybe 900. I have mechanic from honda that can do the install for 300. I would get a standard 3 mnth warranty on TRANNY only!!

or

B) Have it Rebuilt. But my question. I have 142000 on this car how much longer can the TRANSMISSION run if its rebuilt. The guy has 20 years experience in rebuilding trannys and states that all his work has 6 mnth warranty.

Not to mention that Rebuilding could cost me alot more. Maybe 1500 from reading past Threads on this.

Remember this is coming out of my pocket. The car is in immaculate condition on the outside with paint and tires and so on.

Also needs to be fixed:"

A/C drips onto carpet

Sunroof rubber seal is melting off

Door handle

SHocks may be worn

I love her but she has been a dent in my wallet ever since i got her. I spent 400 dollars this year on the CV joints and axles.

THanks for your time and experiences

 

I would go w/ the used trans. You can usually buy an insurance policy that will cover labor and part from the salvage yard dealer. As you might expect, it's pretty pricey, but I found it worth the cost when I replaced the V8 engine in a 2000 Dodge Ram PU. I think it was close to $200. This allows a "apples/apples" comparison w/ the rebuilt option.

good luck

 

SO you are saying that i can buy a insurance policy at most junk yards?

SOunds good, ima check on that around here in South Florida

 

I wouldn't buy a used 3.0 tranny, it will just go bad like the one before, cuz they all have the same defects. Not sure which tranny you have. But you're better off rebuilding with all new components

 

sorry i didn't mention i have a 2.2 L auto

does that change ur answer?

 

I coulda just looked at your name lol.

You could probably get away with a salvaged tranny on the 2.2. But i'm anal, I'd rebuild it no matter what, but that's me, I have a 3.0 on it's second tranny and I have to get repairs on it done tomorrow.

 

i just bought a used tranny for 400...800 installed...runs great

only thing is u take a risk and a chance.

 

ok OK.....now we getting somewhere.

Slooo97 i take it you have a 2.2L?

How long have you had the used tranny? Well its a good risk because all mechanics tell me the 2.2L run forever and have no problems

where did u find one with 400? how many miles on it?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> # 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

someone in the black market/ebay was parting out and i grabbed the tranny. It has a decent amount of mileage but seems to run fine. It won't be easy finding a used tranny it took me months. good luck

 

rebuilt is probably going to last longer if it is done right and they replace everything that they should replace, you dont know if the used tranny is even a good one....

 

ANyone have a rebuilt 2.2 L tranny?

ANyone swapt the old tranny for a used one?

How long have you had it on your car?

 

can a rebuild be cheaper?

 

why dont you just get a 5speed swap

 

i rebuilt my 2.3 something like 9 months ago, cost me atleast 1.5k. its running smooth as silk but if i had to go back id probably do a 5speed swap instead...

 

why would u do that?

 

i had a 3.0...and when my tranny went out...i decided to have it rebuilt instead of buying a use one from the junk yard and have it go bad on me within a few month down the road. and those 3.0 tranny isnt cheap. But if my CL was a 2.x i would of gotten a low mileage like less then 50K miles and swap it out cuz its way cheaper than rebuilting it and you can find those tranny everywhere.

 

do i have to explain why 5speed mt > 4speed at?

 

thats just a lost cause!

 

THats sounds like the ANSWER I was looking for, plus from a Moderator
