Taking my baby in to the dealer tomorrow - what should I expect?

Will the tranny be new or refurb? Can I expect it to last? Or will I be doing this in another 30k? Also, will the car drive any differently?

Told me about a week start to finish (couple days to order the parts & couple days to do the work).

you can expect to be ripped a new A**hole

expect a worry free car until about 120k then cross your fingers or sell it. But based on your current mileage you have 4-5 more years
It sucks, but tell me about it I have 71k on mine and 4 trannys( including the original)and I planned on keeping this car as long as my last(93 accord w/180k)

Want to keep the car for 7-8 years (5-6 more)!!!!!!
I know there are a bunch of whiny babies on the board that complain that there cars aren't perfect...I'm not one of them. Think its a GREAT car -- as long as I have that 100k warranty I really have zero worries

Is it just me or does that 2002 Type S have the worst luck with the tranny's??? It just seems that car is most prone to problems at least from reading on here for a while.

ya It's pretty obvious that the extra ponys found the trannys weakness, but hey thats how the pros do it. I just read about the saturn Ion that broke the land speed record. guess how they built the motor. threw NOS on it until it blew then replaced the weak link w/ a stronger one and so on and so on. Sound familiar?

expect it to suck.

Try to get a good loaner car! .. that way, you can ease your mind off the tranny problem your having..which by the way I'm sorry to hear.

worry about getting a good loaner, then you shouldn't worry too much, at least for a while after you get your car back. They should give you a brand new tranny. Enjoy the loaner, I got a 04 Maxima...had soooooo much fun with the car, did things I never would in my own car.

i'm one of those "whiny babies" that quicksilver refers to... however, I got off my ass and did something about it and fought the f-ing company.
