It decided to die on me today. No 5th, no 4th anymore, and now, 1st and 2nd make, nasty, unpleasent noises. 3rd is OK, but it's starting to make the same noises as 1st and 2nd. :beat:
Well, to make a long story short, I need a new transmission.
Does anybody know the best place to buy a tranny? Should I look at getting a rebuild from a trans shop, getting mine fixed, or getting a junkyard tranny?
What would be a reasonable price for a rebuild, or to get mine rebuilt? Also, if I pull one from a junkyard, should I pull one from another Accord (88), or should I pull one from another car, like a Prelude? And, if I can't find an 88 could I use another year and have it bolt right up to the engine?
I'm looking for the easiest way to put a new tranny in, and would like to avoid as much hassle as possible trying to fit a non-Accord trans in just because it's "a little better". Well anyway, thanks in advance for the help. I really would like to get the 3Gee back on the road with as minal fuss as possible. :cool2:
