260 fwhp





it took 2 days to remove the trans out off the car. i did it in my drive way with no lift and 6 jack stands and 2 jacks.i am a former honda tech so do try this at home.







dropping the cradle





the trans on the box i will state rebuilding soon



also here are some pics off my roomates 04 tsx with the tl rims on it. also go new tires today put on the kuhmo 245 45 17





put the tsx tires on mine bc i wont be going any where for a while 215 50 17

 

wow! That is quite a feat, especially to do in your driveway with only 4 jackstands and a few tools! Props to you! What mods do you have for 260 WHP? Also do you plan on beefing it up a bit to handle more power? IF so, how? BTW it'd be a good time to install a trans cooler on it.



Your car has progressed quite a bit since the last time I saw it! Though it's not my cup of tea, I do have to admit that it does look pretty clean. Have you though about taking some of those chrome door strips, painting it red and putting it on the large middle slat in the lower grilles? It would match the headlights pretty nicely!

 

dam u a sav

look like someone jacked yo tranny! lol

i have a v2 aem cai, pre cat delets, j pipe, stock 3rd cat, tl type s cat back, samco cooling hoses, ur crank pully, factory intake manifold spacer, ported and polished intake runners. yes i do plan to tear the trans apart and see if their is anything i can do to make it better. i can tell you this thow one of the problems that we are having with are trans is that it has a lack off filtration on it. i found out that their are 2 filter on these trans. the top filter should be changed everytime you do a trans flush. the other filter is in the trans and the trans has to be torn down to get to it so you wont ever be replacing it. i will also be putting a trans cooler on it when it is rebuilt, also i will be putting an external trans filter on it you can get one at autozone or napa. yea i got the bumper painted finally and got a jdm honda emblem for it

 

auto

 

god DAMN you are handy

i noticed you said samco hoses.. i searched FAR AND WIDE for Samco hoses for 03-07 Accord V6 or 04-08 TL... couldnt find them.. did you custom make these?

All i found was OBX, and they're products are sub-par IMO

 

Damn J....Lookz like a pretty quick tear down...lol at least you know what your doing....GL with the rebuild

You should think about converting to a MANUAL...3 Pedals is the way to go...lol

R U still gonna make it to H.I.N. ???

clutch pedal and resovor

wat else anybody no

 

I'll have to check out the pics when I get home, but it sounds like a nice little project you're undertaking. Any particular reason? Also, are you still looking into the things we talked about the other week?

Oh, and believe it or not, they got my car running. It seems ok, so far.

 

Guage cluster

 

my trans went out and i might do a swap not sure yet. that is great that they got it running so you didnt need a motor.

 

Ah, it died. Well, you're already in there, might as well swap it...you know you want to. Either way, good luck with the project; it's a ten on a scale of ten no matter what you end up doing.

EDIT: as for everything involved with a swap, check out the 2G section...fsttyms swapped a 6MT from a CL into his 2G TL.

 

cluster are you sure

 

so today i took everything off of the trans case and took the torque converter out i will post up pic soon.

 

yes, since the 6mt one does not have the PRNDM lights. In all honestly, it would be a lot easier to trade in your car, the 6MT comes with the factory brembo's, larger rear swaybar from the factory, torque damper for the motor and a few other things that would be hard to swap in.

 

Have you read through this thread? https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/very-interesting-conversation-my-transmission-builder-tl-721508/

Look at post 16. They talk about the pressure switches causing problems in the auto trannys.

That is so SICK btw that you did that in your driveway!

 

honda tech, eh? pull an NV5600 cast iron 6 speed manual with the transfer case attached from a Dodge 2500, and then I'll be impressed.

 

seriously that front bumper is ... let me guess combined the tsx grille with the tl-s... props dude...

also props on doing the trans overhaul in your garage, thats just tight...

ps. that front "h" is mad jdm yo

 

well you no what next time you have that problem or any an y other problem that you need help with give me a call man 704 746 8429

 

thanks man the grill is out off a tsx and i fiberglassed it in at least someone likes it

 

What year was your TL and how many miles did you have? Curious as to how the tranny died.

 

111,000 lack off filtration i would recommend changing fluid e very 3 k if you can afford to and if not every 6 k and change the top filter ever 10k maybe or even 6 k .the 2nd filter is in the trans and has to be torn apart which i am in process o doing and post pic soon.
stripped it down

torque converter





someone stole my trans

the new whip and the mugen




my boys yea

 

I was sitting there yesterday thinking how there was some thread I needed to check out because I couldn't see the pics at work, but I couldn't remember which one it was...now I know

 

Any body no were a low mile 04 tl auto trans is for sale In the nc area

 

You have GOT to put a high stall convertor in there. Most convertor shops will restall your stock one for $80-$140. That would be the best single mod you could make to an auto.

I prefer an aftermarket high stall convertor over a restalled stock unit but I doubt anyone makes one for a TL.

 

Where is this "tranny filter" located? I'm going on 132K and Im sure mine has never been changed considering I do all of my drain and refills.

 

Why?
