Looking to buy a new transmission

You may want to check salvage yard web sites such as. car-part.com, for a locally sourced transmission. I have found that most salvage yards are asking as much for an 02 TLS transmission, as they are for an AV6. You have much less risk with a used AV6, than you have with the original B7WA unit. If you research the 2006-2007 Honda Accord AV6 swap, as an alternative replacement, I think you be convinced it is the better option. Don't know where your located, but a friend of mine just sourced a 68,000 mile, rear ended 07 AV6. via a salvage yard, advertising on eastern Pennsylvania Craigslist, for $500.00, with a 60 day warranty. Once my friend explained the procedure, and showed the salvage yard the step by step, the yard agreed to provide the 60 day warranty even though the transmission was being installed in a different car altogether.
