how much are those o6-07 accord trannys. i bought my type s at 156,000 and the tranny does a jerk from second to third when cold while driving at a normal slow pace. switches smooth when warmed up. shes now at 159,000 as of today. i had engine replaced at 158,500 at acura. new engine has 80,000 miles on her and now im just worried about the trans. its not original trans either. trans got replaced at 105,000. does that rough switch from second to third when cold mean my trans is about to give out? the color of the fluid is still bright red

 

Nope if its not slipping it doesn't mean a bad trans.. A rough shift can mean = Bad Mounts or Time to Replace ATF.

 

If you read the tranny FAQ, rough shifts while cold are not really a sign of a bad tranny.

As long as it smooths out when warm, should be fine.

 

it might be the fluid needs to be changed out because its now going on 55k without a fluid change since they replaced it

 

If ya recently had the motor replaced.....especially by Acura, one would only hope that they replaced the mounts if they were faulty. Check your receipts and talk to the service manager where the motor was installed.

 

the mounts were replaced when the trans was replaced and they said it is still good and they also said that they changed out the fluid on my trans while it was down but only caused i asked them too. i think he was bs'n me and just told me they changed it and in actuality they really didnt. smh

 

If unsure, just do a drain & fill of the tranny fluid on your own. Check out the many threads and DIY sticky for more info.

 

is there a link to a good diy that you know of for this. im new to this site and would appreciate the help.

 

3x3 is straight forward..

Drain and Fill

Drain and Fill

Give a week between each D&F and DONE! The best service you can do for your trans yourself.

There is a single Square bolt below the trans for your ratchet to sit in.. Remove the Bolt to drain the fluid.
On top of the trans there is a GIANT Bolt with "ATF" on it, fill there.
