F&*KING Tranny

Acura replaced my tranny last year, I didn't drive the car for like 7 months because it was in the body shop, now i see tranny fluid all over the bottom of the trans. I can't even tell where it's coming from, Now i am going to have to find a good mechanic because i am not dealing with acura, They will give me to much of a hard time because of all the shit in the car, they gave me a hard time the fist time ant i only had half the shit i have now! Sorry just had to rant.

A lot of people from the boards have gone to Aamco for rebuilds it seems.

I would say look into a Dr. Evil tranny if you want something quality. It's kind of a pain though (need to take tranny out, send it in so they can re-work internals and ship back).

not necessarily true, they will work off a core if they can match up your trannys serial.

btw - wait for me to get mine installed and running, should be in the next few days, before going w/ dr. evil.

At the end of the day they have to prove it's your mods that cause the tranny failure which most of the time it aint. Which dealer did you go to?

yes, i have the dr. evil tranny.

CL Platano is right, they need to prove what caused the tranny to fail, or bc of the fault tranny, you shouldnt have a problem getting a free tranny, but they might charge you to take the blower off or you could do it yourself.

I do remember one thing though, they frown on the unichip. Ravi told me that once when he had his installed, that they worked on his car that one time but told him the next time they wouldnt because of the chip.

apparently dr. evil had a lot of success with the 4spd accord trannys, so i'm hoping it rubs off.

right now i havent driven my CL in 3 months, so at this point i dont even rememebr what the car was like, but im sure i will be really excited once its actually done.

So how's the trans? You finish it yet? How much did it run you if you don't mind me asking?
