SLAMMED_WDP_TLS

I was over there visitng the v6performance site and came across this

http://www.v6performance.net/forums/...ad.php?t=56612

they are currently building a tranny upgrade and a turbo kit for the accords. They are interested in building upgraded tranny and turbo kit for OUR cars but we have to show some spoort in just voting. They have to get atleast 25 cl tler to vote to show them that we are interested to be in production. I know tranny is not a big problem for the CL as much as the TL but the turbo kits is a much more interest in the CL community. If we get enoughtpeople (25) to simply vote, and get enough people to show interest, I personally will have them test the tranny kit and the turbo kit on my car, since the Company is close to where I live.

<---- Not holding my breath on this one. Out of the thousands of people on this 2nd Gen CL forum maybe a dozen have "upgraded" transmissions.

a dozen meaning like 2

Tru, not many of CL have tranny problem its mostly the TL that have the tranny problem but the turbo kit is closer to reality if you dont have $8000 to spend.

All_motor sorry if I am taking business away from you or discouraging people to go to you but I am just pushing this so people can make the turbo kit dream more real then dreaming of 8g;s falling from the sky so they can have the turbo installed from you so sorry if I offended you in anyway NOT MY INTENTIOn.

I am still looking for someone to upgrade my tranny b4 i do anything power wise to it other than the existing cai. I would rather get the tranny secur 1st. If one of you could please point me in the right direction and advise me on some figures, i could add to that upgraded tranny total. I want my cl to ride and not die in the middle of the road past the 100k mark. thanks fellas

i thought the CL and TL pretty much had the same components including the tranny and so thought it was equally problematic for both cars.

also another thing, its only around 5% or so of CLs that have the screwed up trannies right? according to Honda/Acura?

They are. He is mistaken to say the TL has more problems than the CL. The drivetrain is identical!


Yeah right...

shinybluecls

Its probably closer to 5% that DONT have screwed up trannies =) My 2nd tranny is starting to feel like its going to crap out on me soon and I'm at rougly 52k miles. I most likely won't be looking into a rebuilt/upgraded tranny till after 10year/100k warranty on the tranny is up.

Nice...

You will begin to realize that the 'basic' kit is ~$3K w/o intercooler & w/o install... figure about $3700 installed. Add the IC, better turbo, stainless-construction, upgraded fuel components etc. and you are looking at $7K+ installed. You get what you pay for and at least this project allows several entry-points!!

Regarding my business... it doesn't bother me one bit cuz I do this for fun and its got nothing to do with my bread & butter I Personally would not like to do $3K and $4K kits because you deal with a different breed of customer... and I don't have the time for that. Don't compare kits because its not an apples-to-apples comparison.

I actually PM's MrV6P offering my help if they want it.

FYI - the kit I made for the auto-CL had a Dr. Evil upgraded tranny.... it busted once during tuning and then busted again at 400hp.

SOrry, I just hear more TL havin problem than the Cl, That is maybe becuase I have a TL and spend most of my time over there on the TL section but thanky ou for clarifying that up.

SLAMMED_WDP_TLS

I am acutally pulling for the tranny more so then the Turbo. If we get enough people , they will use my car to do a test run on the tranny. Their Turbo testing facility is in LA. Dont get me wrong, If I had $8000 I will have You (all_motor) to drop in that turbo for me. I am actually working on saving and have been in contacted you like 2 months ago. Just Damn $8000 is a large figure. Well thank you for yours guys support so far. Hopefully more people can help out and thank you all_motor for shiming in on your expertise on the turbo.

Are the links dead? They don't work for me.

'ing for the tranny upgrade. You can't put a price on peace of mind. Hope it doesn't end up like Level10

We will begin the turbo work hopefully within the next few weeks. Soon after we will start to work on the tranny issues.

Time For Sleeep

Just "signed up" over there.

I too am not holding my breath on this one... too many times does it seem people are willing to put down their forum names for a list, but not willing to shell out the cash.

SLAMMED_WDP_TLS

thanks guys so far!

Time For Sleeep

hey slammed. the guys over ther won't say nothin', but how much do you think the upgraded tranny will run? The dr. evil upgrade is 4K... and these guys' selling point is that theirs will be cheaper than the dr. evil... i'm thinkin'.. 3? or even 2k?

SLAMMED_WDP_TLS

I havent have the time to get in contact with the guy yet but I am sure it iwll be less. THey are saying 2-3K. THis is the trason why they want people to vote so they know how many people are acutally interested. Although these kind of polls are deceiving, a 20%, which is 5 people for tl and cl . will be wnought for them to cover their cost with testing an all. So I engourage people to do over and just vote
