When I bought the car used, I had the original transmission replaced under warranty at 86k. Now, 5 years later and at 192K, second one is toast. I have done hours of searching here and don't seem to get solid definite answers. I know from what I've gathered these are the models that will swap in:

05-07 Honda Accord V6
06-09 Acura TL
05-06 Honda Oddessy

The question is, what should be the best bet? Certain years to where some fixes were done? I found a 05 TL transmission local to me with 75k on it for $720 that comes with a 6 month warranty and I can buy an additional 6 months for $175. The car is sitting in my parking lot and would like to get it in the shop progressing by the 10th. I appreciate any input and I am more than appreciative of all the help. Happy new years.

 

04 05 TL has gen2 problems
accord rumored to have probs too
oddessey installed by some and very happy,,,ziner spent 750 on trans,,300-400 on labor

see specific thread on oddy trans for years

 

so if im shooting for the odessey setup, what mileage would be ideal? ex. past 75k stay away? thanks for the help.

 

from what Ive heard just get one!! call auto dismantling shop (junkyard)
and ask what they have--they can get from other places for you

we dont have failure rate or mileage data on oddy BUT its supposed to be way better trans design... with proper oiling (my guess)

 

Maybe troll some Odyssey forums for info.

 

Is there a main Odyssey thread? I keep seeing references to it in my searches, but I cannot seem to find it.

 

thank you, that makes me feel a lot better. i have been searching but doesn't like like any real definite answers

 

Outside of this board, maybe?
