Well actually, is it that you just don't know of any shops, or do you mean you know of a lot of crap mechanics out here?

I'd just hate to think I'm SOL

NVA-AV6

None that I personally know of.......

I know of a good shop, but it is in SoCal, the OC.....

Rapture

Bleh, I live in the other OC...

How about anyone in the norcal/ bay area? We have a lot of auto recyclers in rancho cordova so getting a tranny locally is pretty easy

we also don't get the same # of stolen cars ethier (so stolen parts)

MrFluffy

Sorry to bring up an old post but my tranny is DONE , so im replacing it in a week or so But I just went to my mechanic and he freaked me out a little (Keep in mind this guy does alot of custom work but not on Hondas)

1- do the dowl pins match up ?
2- are the 04-06 trans all the same gear ratios
3- Does the TQ converter match up with out any MODs
4- do the splins on the axel match (because I saw that P.Diddy change them)

I figured all the questions to this would be yes but I wanted to know before I dropped 2gs and wife soon there after killed me for the insurance money LOL

also does anyone know how long the these trannys last because Im hoping I can get a least 100k miles off of this one

thanks

the 04 and some 05 tl trans had problems from what i read. try to get an odyssey trans if u can. everything should like up seeing how the 6spd match up to our engines

MrFluffy

I got someone selling an 06 tl trans with 33000 miles on it but like I siad Im a littile freaked out because im afraid NVA6 did a little more work than hes posted and my mechanics going to give up the first snag he gets and ill be out 2gs

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i would only buy the '06 TL tranny and the '07 TL tranny that would fit or an oddy tranny. i say contact nva-av6 to get the details you need. i only changed my axles because i broke them fucking around with my S/C. got a little too happy off the line.

MrFluffy

O. ok just making sure

acura_dipset_tl

iTrader: (40)

Yeah this true or get an 06 Honda accord tranny.
Nva AV6 told me its the same tranny and they even have the same part number as the 04-06 tl.

07 TL trannys are very risky to get because I got one from a 3.2 base tl and when i sent the pics to NVA AV6 to see if it would fit and he said it would not fit.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

so i guess your stuck with that tranny now?

acura_dipset_tl

iTrader: (40)

Yeah for now lol Im gonna sell it though it only has 33,101 miles on it.

MrFluffy

That sucks man Im looking at 2 06 oddyssey trans mission one is 1400 ane is 800 im going to see the 1400 one tommorow and see if I cant get him down on the price because the 800 one in 220 miles away

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

post in the BM and see if you get any hits. mine has 44k on it i hope it lasts me another 100-150k at least.


hope the swap goes well for you.

MrFluffy

I found an 06 Odysse touring for 1400,and a 06 odysse for an EX 1100 whats the diiference is there any

NVA-AV6

No diff in the tranny, the touring Oddy has IMRC

acura_dipset_tl

iTrader: (40)

Yeah that's not a bad idea but I'm on no rush to sell.
Nva AV6 is hooking me up with an 06 Honda accord tranny with less than 50k miles and also doing the Install.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

nice, paul definitely takes car of his customers.

MrFluffy

Sorry Im a bit of an idiot what is an IMRC and is that why its more expensive ( I dont need that do I )

BTW Im going to pick one of thse up tommorow wish me luck

NVA-AV6

It is the butterflies in the intake manifold and has no bearing on the tranny at all.

MrFluffy

That weird I wonder why they list as a differnt part in the junkyard, I was searching in my area and I noticed that when I search TL or ODDY some times it gives me the same part weird

MrFluffy

So just dropped my car and the trans off ended costing me 1200cad for the trans , its an 06 with 25 000 miles on it, I hope everything works out I may end up using the TQ converter out of the oddysse or would you recomend changing it and hes also going to change the filter

But not a bad price, I tried to haggle but the guy was a complete asshole and the nearest one was 250 miles away for 1000 so I figured what the hell

any ways wish me luck !!!

BTW I should of taken some video my trans is FUCKED needless to say it was an interesting drive to the shop LOL

NVA-AV6

Use the TC that came with the trans, if your tranny is that screwed it may have debris in it.

MrFluffy

My mecheanic is going to check new one one out and see what kind of shape its in or buy a new one

but as the old one ive been driving with it messd up for about a year so its probably screwed

do you think I could get any money for the old one ??

NVA-AV6

LOL, what is scrap metal worth in your area?

lmfao, so bad , but kinda true though

goodluck with the swap and keep us posted. im sure this thread is going to be a good resource for alot of members in the future. "omg my tranny just went out" threads continue to pop up all the time.

Rapture

IMO someone should post exactly what all needs to be done, what to tell the mechanic concerning what needs to be done for the swap to work, etc. I'm sure when I get this done they'll bombard me with questions...

I'm just confused. At first it just seemed like it was almost a straight swap out, swap new one in. Now it seems a bit more complicated...

MrFluffy

I IM'ed NVA and he gave me the same Info that was posted earlier in this thread, and I gave it to my meachanic so I will keep everyone posted and when Its done ill tell you guys what I told my meachanic and hopefully a brief description of what he did

but other than the
-filter housing
-the trans range switch
-Drill and tapp a couple of holes

thats about it (correct me if im wrong) but I should have more Info tommorow !!

Rapture

Cool, thanks!

Also, since I'm hoping to get a 05 odyssey trans put in my car, let me know how the trans feels compared to how you remember the CL trans feeling (when it was in good working order ). Do you think maybe the odyssey trans is a bit heavier than the CL trans, just because it was meant for a van?

MrFluffy

I think its basically the same

and my trans never really shifted right, it was always fucked up when I would do 5mph coming up to a light and it would go green and I would give it gas It would clunk

Im scared of it feeling shaky or what ever. really I want to be able to put my foot to the floor at a light and not worrie but I dont think thats ever going to happen again (we will see)

ok guys took the plunge today and droped my car of at NVA-AV6 spot, im getting an 06 Honda accord tranny installed cant wait to get it back. Ill keep you guys posted

Thanks again Paul

Ps it was crazy weather but the little u-haul truck that i rented to tow the car did the job lol.

MrFluffy

I almost had to get mine towed , I think they had to push it into the shop LOL

the update on mine is that every bolt was seized on the tranny so it took them forever to get it out should be done on monday after the issues that ive been having with the tranny going pretty much since I got it.I think the new tranny will be the BEST MOD EVER lol I cant wait either
