mother fuckerrrr...
haha ok looks like im gonna be drivin around this peice of a shit sunfire for a while
i cant wait to get my car fixed!!
thanks guys for the input!

 

Excuse the n00bness...

What does a transmission service entail, exactly? Is this just a fluid exchange or are there actually adjustment to the transmission itself made?

 

From my understanding its a drain and fill....or as some members describe it, its draining and filling about 3 times to get out as much of the old oil as possible.

Don't know what they do at the dealership though. I don't think any adjustments are made for an automatic.

 

At least it actually drives!

Good luck with the repairs.

 

yeh this is true haha
thanks ill be sure to update sometime in the future when everything is done!

 

CarbonGray Earl:

What kind of warranty did you get from the dealer? How long does the warranty on the parts and labor last for in terms of time and mileage?

 

@Miami, its 3 yr/36k miles


jptsx what happened?

 

my car just decides it wants to go wheb it wants..my tranny i think took a crap when i try goin over 20mph the rpms shoot up and i dont go any faster and reverse wont reverse until a loud clunk first =/

 

is the tranny under the 70k 5 year drivetrain warranty

 

nope, 140k miles

 

I have an '08 TSX and the same exact thing happened to me when I was the parkway. It freaked me out because I used to drive a civic and the transmission went on that at 56k miles.

Please let us know what the dealer says after they look it over. I'm leasing my car and I'm 99% about buying it out at the end of my lease but if these cars are having transmission problems now, I don't want to keep it. I just hit 20k on my car.

 

so i got the car towed to a local shop where i usually get all of my work done, my mechanic tells me the tranny went, which i knew, and that something went in the tran.

now i know this isnt the BEST move, but being only 19 and not having the greatest paying job in the world, im getting a tran from a local junkyard that my uncles knows well, the tran got 54k miles and im gettin it for alil under $600. considering im really itching to just get my car running and not wait to save up almost $2k on a rebuild, i think this is my best bet...what do you guys all think?

im getting mine swapped out at another local shop for $450....did anyone else know you have to pull the engine to pull the transmission too? i had no idea. thankfully i got a lot of good friends that know mechanics and this guy is cutting me a HUGE break.

hopefully everything works out great, everything should be done within the week...ill let everyone know the final result!!

 

2k for a rebuild?????
