Holy ballsack... I got the switches for a whopping 89$ cad shipped from ebay. Just ordered the filter, came out to 28$ cad with shipping.

Stealership indeed

errbody!
:gheyhug:

You 3x3 guys, now that I've thought more about it, if I were y'all, I would do a 3x1 with the Redline and ride a couple hundred miles to see how the trans reacts since y'all have no idea about the maintenance history. If it works out ok, then do another 3x2.

N1h1l1ty

Tis the plan anyhow Jamie! I was planning on doing it in 200 mile intervals.

I actually saw a 1st gen Legend this past weekend and it wasn't in bad shape. Couldn't grab a pic of it though because VTEC

polobunny

And we have no choice but to take it.

Majofo

ah forgot.. looney prices. They still put the tip in on you boys. I bought a case of DW1 for $80 ($100 CDN) after tax.

Jamie's 08 TL

I just wasn't taking into consideration that y'all don't know if the fluid has ever been changed. I knew mine had been once before I did my 3x3 all in one day. I've always heard if it hasn't been changed, and the car has like 100k miles on it, to just not change it at all and run it until it dies.

polobunny

Yup I'll look online. He can have the parts tomorrow if I order before 2 though!

That's what I'll do. Doing 3x3 in a day when you have no idea when the ATF was changed is just silly.

N1h1l1ty

Barely 60k miles here and very gently driven by prior owner so I'm going ahead as planned

Worst comes to worst - I'll find out how good this transmission shop a friend recommended is a little earlier than I expected.

polobunny

Yeah, here it's $100 for 9qts, not 12.

Like I said though, Red Line at $15.50 vs DW1 at $11.34 = $40 difference. At that point it means nothing to put $40 more on the tranny when the switches and filter work cost over $230.

N1h1l1ty

I'll tell you this though - the hardware (bolts,washers) will be impossible to find so you might as well just order them from Honda. The switches I would look around for. Filter ended up being more expensive stateside as well so might as well order that from him too.

Majofo

Told my teacher suck a dick, I'm selling food.. Told the DA lick my balls, not getting caught, gingerbread bruh

N1h1l1ty

And tell me if you are ordering, I'll jump in on it too! I need all the hardware myself

Yumcha

Yep. Got an oil change, filter replacement, and front brake pad replacements...to the tune of $1100+ 2 days ago.

Not cheap.

thoiboi

Mmm that apexi thread was a nice Any other fun I missed out on?

Yumcha

But, that's CDN and we're back where the exchange rate is stupidly hilarious...so, $1100CDN is really $5USD.

Majofo

If I were you pb.. I'd go D4 just because it's slightly thicker. Spec is pretty close but with your shitty symptoms, you need that sizzurp.

Majofo

wtf.. I could have done that for you for about $150 Yummy. That's kindergarten shit. Justn would have charged you $234.50.

thoiboi

That was on your MINI right?

That damn BMW tax ...

Yumcha

Stealership, indeed.

It's fine...I purposely know the cost here but I don't really have the facilities to do maintenance on my car with the climate here regularly and well, other priorities.

Yumcha

No, this is for the FX.

Yumcha

Case in point, it's blizzarding outside.

Mama Nature wants to do April Foo on this city.

polobunny

Symptoms aren't as heavy as I make it sound. It's hard to quantify how bad/not bad they are over a forum post, I've simply noticed that the shifting was a bit more sloppy.
Either way, considering the price of the transmission stuff (expected a bit less), I might hold on a bit, need to put wheels and rubber on the car mid april at max and I'm a bit short on spare change.

N1h1l1ty

Home from work early and I have 2 days off ahead of me

polobunny

Care to link me where you got the switches cheap? All I can seem to find is 28610-RKE-004 (revised 3rd pressure for Odyssey and TL) for 59$ on Amazon.ca and 28600-RKE-004 for 60$.
Cheaper, sure, but not $90 for both either. If I can save on the big items, I will!

N1h1l1ty

They actually changed up the part #s
You can also use the following:

3rd Gear Switch
old#:
28610-ray-003
new#:
28610-ray-013

4th Gear Switch
Old#:
28600-ray-003
new#:
28600-ray-013

As for where I got them, it was ebay and I think that vendor no longer has them. I see a couple of pressure switches up for sale but they're ranging from 50$ to 76$ for 28600

Depending on what your timeline is like, you could ship it to the parcel place in Niagara and I could pick it up for you and shoot it to you via Canada Post, it could probably fit in letter mail.

It would probably save you over 50 bucks for that matter ...

N1h1l1ty

OH and I have 28610 RAY 013 and 28600 RAY 013. Confusing as hell because there are 3 different part #s that are all interchangeable

polobunny

I'm thinking of doing something like that. Either use a forwarding service or a kind soul from here, they're tiny parts that are cheap to ship so there's no reason they should be this expensive even in Canada. At $120 for both it's not as bad as $170 at the dealership. Just wondering if I can score them even cheaper. I see SINS making some pressure switches on Amazon.com as opposed to .ca, wonder what they're worth. $30 US but won't ship to Canada.


Edit: I believe it goes 28610-RAY-003 to 013 then to RKE-004. Might be wrong, but parts guy over at Acura told me about it.

N1h1l1ty

Shiiiiit I hope its ok I got the older switches ... although I'm sure its ok given plenty of people used 013s. Anyway, what I think we should do is put together some Canadian members that would want to get stuff from the US, and see if anyone else wants to put in orders. CBI charges 6 bucks USD per package, so with 3 people putting in orders together, boom 2 USD per package per person.

polobunny

The old ones are just as fine. Happens to a lot of parts that are in high demand, they change suppliers and/or tweak them a bit and thus a new model. I wouldn't bother getting a RKE004 instead of the RAY013.

polobunny

Hm uncle checking for the prices for 2 model of wheels à la XXR 530, damn I'm tempted. Using all my connections GOOOOO

polobunny

18x8 35 offset + hub rings 73.1 to 64.1 + black lugs nuts
$220 per wheel

Not bad. Not as cheap as I expected though. I'm a cheap motherfucker. ;P



pic, cause.

Majofo

220 per wheel.. how about 220 for all 4 wheels.

Majofo

or about.. thirtee pho fifteee

Majofo

Westside!

polobunny

Hey I wish. This is Canada, no such thing as 220 for all 4 wheels brand new, obviously. And used stuff I've looked but haven't found anything I fancy. Like I said early, I can get some MS3 2nd gen wheels for $300 but they're not something I want.

TacoBello

So finally you believe me! Canucks that don't know where to get cheaper parts or aren't mechanically inclined get their shit pushed in by dealerships here.

Even buying from the US doesn't make much sense anymore, with there being a 20 cent disparity between dollars. Pretty sure credit card companies bump that to 23 or 25 cents. because, you know, they're not rich enough, lol.

N1h1l1ty

At that price I would get the 530s and just get them in +33 offset. You'll be able to run a 235 no problem, and I think they look infinitely better than the DAIs, with better fitment to boot

polobunny

Looking at the Fast Wheels Rennen too. All the same design, really.


Anyway, all depends the prices I get. +30ish offset is easy peasy, don't really want to roll the fenders, ain't going for baller just wanna have some wheels on the car so I can drive.

N1h1l1ty

Totally forgot: Phatfux Wheels Ballzy is a good option! Apparently they're super lightweight too (sub 19 lb for 18x9) and look very much like the Weds TC105N
