Sorry to hear that man

Yeah, rebuilt transmissions aren't the answer. However, if you do that and add a transmission cooler you will be good 2 go for quite awhile.

 

Hah here's his latest answer to me

 

well i'm just saying..........a f22 or h22 auto would last far longer...........and be cheaper.........and since f/h trannies are interchangeable.........

 

LOL forgot this one too!

 

You could also look into a Level 10 upgraded rebuilt. They're right up Rt. 23 in Hamburg, I think ..... anyway, they seem like a good operation .... never dealt with them before. They have a website to look at.

 

Hmm... I think it had something to do with a 6th gen PCM and 5th gen TCU not wanting to work together... I can't remember

 

Hah that's a crazy transmission, but too expensive for me. I think I'm gonna end up getting a rebuilt auto and make sure the warranty it. You guys are confusing me with the manual swap.

 

Update...My dad knows a guy that's been working on trannys all his life. I am bring the car to him for him to look at. He thinks it's because since I got my ATF changed at lube express, they didnt use the honda additive that the tranny needs so he's gonna take out all the fluid and refill it with the honda fluid. I think that's whats gonna happen. I'll have more details later.

 

Honda autos don't like to be power-flushed.

See if he can disconnect the hoses to the ATF cooler. Dump the fluid coming out of the cooler hose, while he feeds fresh fluid into the return hose. That way the "flush" uses the tranny's own internal pumps. No external pumping machine.

And... use Honda-brand ATF - not an additive.

 

^I'll make sure to write that down for my dad. No way would I ever let anyone do a power flush lol. And he is going to use the Honda ATF. I'll keep updated. Thanks for the info!
