On top of the price paid, my mechanic said he will install it for me for $300. I dont need a tranny just yet, but i want to be ready if/when i do need one.

I looked at that aswell, but i think whats in the "not included" sections, are parts for a manual tranny. They have that disclaimer for all transmissions on thier site.

without even looking at the link- thats a used transmission washed and wrapped, NOT already rebuilt- so expect another 2500 when you need to rebuild it
Have yours rebuilt at aamco, or if not salvage title, ask the acura dealer what they can do for you- cash deal. 2500 at aamco was last years price and everything is going up!

that sounds like a used trans. Go to a aamco and have it rebuilt if you refuse to go to the dealer.

Transmissions:
1. Failure to do any of the following, and to provide written maintenance receipts and other documentation thereof, voids the warranty:
a. Draining and flushing the transmission prior to installation
b. Filling transmission with factory recommended fluids
c. Replacing all external seals
d. Replacing pan gaskets
e. Replacing filters
f. Resetting or replacing computer codes
g. Replacing transmission oil cooling lines
h. Filling differential
i. Adjusting shifter mechanisms
So you pay them $1200 to wash and ship a used tranny to you. Then you have to almost rebuild it yourself to have a warranty? That's a bunch of
. You might as well go to a junkyard and save about $500, maybe more, wash it yourself and do the above listed items.
