I purchased a 2001 Acura TL with 107,000 miles on it back in February, only to find out a week later that the original transmission is on it's way out. It has the usual signs, such as 3rd gear slippage, hard shifting in and out of 3rd, shakey going from 2nd to 3rd and so on.

Thorough research on this issue has lead me to purchasing a used 5 speed auto transmission from a 2006 Accord coupe. It sounds like this is the way to get my car fixed without having to worry about it crapping out again down the road (at least not from the common 2nd gen tranny issues). The problem I'm running into is finding someone to swap it form me. Everyone I've talked to either tells me it can't be done (not true) or they are afraid to try it because they don't want to be held liable if something goes wrong.

I've found one guy who says he'll do it for $600 but he still sounds apprehensive about it. So I'd like to find out if anyone knows of a place that would be willing to do the swap in or near the Triad region of NC (I live near Welcome, NC). I can provide all the instructions as far as what to swap over from the TL tranny to the Accord tranny, I just need someone who's willing to do it.

If anyone on this forum can help me out with this information I would much appreciate it. Thanks!

 

PM me, I've done the swap and can do the install but, i'm in shelby.
