hey everyone my original tranny went out at 185k with no warning signs at all. I want to do AV6 swap but im having trouble actually finding a shop to do it in the BAY AREA, I searched regions with no luck. Is the AV6 3.0 cpe 06-07 accord correct transmission? thnks guys

 

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

 

sedan/coupe 3.0 right?
any ideas on transmission shops that can do swap in bay area?

 

^^^ 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" !!!

 

Pm'd you a shop

 

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.

 

kelvllv check ur PM. which shop and how much for labor. thanks for tips guys

 

while theyre installing trans anythng else I should get done while the trans is out?

 

The rear main seal.

 

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

 

Mounts and anything accessible at the time.
