A transmission out of an '06-'07 AV6 coupe or sedan will work.

^^^ Check with your local auto salvage recycler. They have connections and possibly can refer ya to somebody local to bolt in the AV6. When previously inquiring with these shops.....were ya telling them that ya wanted a "SWAP" or that ya just only were wanting a price on installing a direct "bolt-in" replacement tranny supplied by you. Many shops don't want to risk doing custom swap type of jobs....due to potential problems and liability issues. So, remember not to call the job a "SWAP" !!!

Your issue is is you are calling it a swap. DONT tell them its a swap. Just tell the shop your trans went out and you have a used one you would like installed.

Clean solenoid screen and use Honda fluid only this will make the swap smoothly.
