06 Accord V6 fluid leak. Help!
 

I began feeling a very slight shudder when the car transitions between first and second gear. My mechanic checked it out and said there was a small transmission fluid leak by the torque converter, but he doesn't have the equiptment to fix Honda transmissions. Money is tight and just wondering if anyone might have a ballpark idea what it may cost me to fix? In the meantime, can I skate by for a while just keeping an eye on the fluid levels and replacing as needed? I am normally really on top of repairs and not neglectful, but money is tight right now. Help!

try calling honda dealer or honda of america see if they are willing to help you out ..
depending on the mileage ...

I went to a Honda dealership and deliberatley did not tell them I knew what was wrong to see what they'd say. After having the car for two hours, they couldn't find the issue that my regular mechanic found in 30 minutes (who I trust and have known for years). I was also fed up with some really bad customer service during my time there so I got fed up and told them I couldn't wait any longer. They were going to charge me $150 just for an estimate but I was told over the phone it was a free estimate. There were some other issues too. Guess I might have to suck it up and go back to Honda. (sigh....) Hopefully this time around I'll find those legendary "Helpful Honda guys"

If a mechanic spends time on your car he needs to get paid from someone and they hate warranty work as their flat rate time is greatly discounted for Honda’s. A lot of times the service advisor will take it for a ride.
