Well, like the title says the tranny went last night. Started slipping really bad, so it's now sitting in my driveway. I have no money or means to fix it, so we'll see what happens with it this week.

 

Sucks man!

 

Yeah it does man, luckily I recently got a new job. We shall see what happens this week.

 

good luck with it bud, hope everything turns out ok.

 

Thanks man, I'll keep the thread updated as I find things out.

 

I hate that bro... been there twice!!!

The last time, I had just paid the car off and bought a house... bad timing!!!

I am happy to hear about your new job!

 

Thanks, I'm really enjoying it. it just seems as though life happens at the worst possible times. Keeping my fingers crossed Acura will help out a little.

 

chaching

 

I feel your pain. Mine just died a month ago and I just got it back from AAMCO. Acura wanted $5,900 to replace the tranny and computer and there wasn't anything wrong with the computer. They say that the computer has to be programmed to match the tranny...sounds like BS to me.

Good luck.

01 Acura AAMCO rebuilt tranny at 60,324 miles/Lifetime transmission rebuild for $3,487

 

I would not take it to AAMCO.
I knew a kid that his dad owned 2 AAMCO's aqnd he told me NOT to take it to AAMCO.. They say lifetime warrenty BUT wait till; something goes wrong and it is actully time to fix it. Go on the ARTA website and find a rebuilder on there near you.. WHen mine went the last time I called like 10 people and got prices from 2800-4000 and picked a guy that charged me 3200 but he seemed to know what he was talking about.

 

even 3200 is kinda steep.

i got mine done for 1900.. granted that's low.. but still, my point is u can find a rebuild for low 2s

 

Good luck man. Get a TL or Odyssey tranny and you shouldnt have to worry about it.

 

^ good point. prolly cheaper too

 

I love my new/used tranny havent had an issue yet, but well see if it last longer than the CL tranny thats the real test

 

ive put 6k on my TL tranny so we'll see how long it lasts. i hope at least another 100k.

 

We havent heard of many issues from the newer trannies in their original cars, so Id assume that if you follow the recommended service intervals you should be fine.

 

I know how you feel, OP. Seems like these kinds of things happen at exactly the moment when you least want something to go wrong.

Anyways, hope things work their way out.

 

All worries are gone for the most part. My grandmother is going to spot me the money upfront to get it fixed and I will pay her $x every month until it is paid off. I think my friend's shop is going to do it for around $2,100 give or take some. I'm looking forward to getting it back on the road.

 

wow and didnt you want to sell the cl or i might be mistaken for someone else on here

 

whats the cost of used 06 odyssey tranny? plus labor to hook it up?

 

What type of maintenance did you do with changing your tranny fluid. Did you do 3x3 and how often?

 

like 1500 from what i've been hearing.. give or take a few 100

 

Yeah, I did, but the car isn't worth a lot so I'll just keep it for a while.

No idea, I'm just doing a rebuild for now.

I think the previous owner did it at 65,000. It just rolled over 100k and I was waiting for my paycheck this week to get it redone then it went out.

 

i think rebuild is waste of money. odyssey tranny cant be that expensive and im sure it will last way longer.

 

+1

 

Does an Odyssey require modification to the car?

 

hahah i like your sig....reminds me of this vid

sorry to take it off subject

 

No mods to the car itself, but some really simple mods to the tranny itself. You wont have to worry about it going out again.

 

I'm going to look into this and ask the guy I plan on taking it too. If the tranny is guaranteed to last then this sounds like a fantastic idea!

 

That was freaking hilarious dude! Ha ha, no harm in getting a little off subject!!!

 

yea you should watch all the other parody shit is hilarious... ok back on track... GL with the tranny... ummm ok that didnt sound right lets rephrase "GL with the TRANSMISSION"

 

what "simple" mods change be done to the transmission?

 

sounds like you have an amazing Grandmother . Good luck w/ the tranny

Good luck!

 

Yup, she's going to put up the money so I can get it fixed, then I'll pay her back monthly!

Thanks, Phee is also helping me with a lot of this. Hopefully I can get the never tranny and be finished with this problem!

 

There is a 2006 TL transmission 12mi. away from me for $1000. I'm hoping that we could pick that one up and have it installed.

 

nice, sounds good.
