so yea i was driving home the other day and i noticed that everytime i stepped on the gas hard, something was making a weord ass sound. so... i get home to see that my tranny has a huge crack in it. yay! now i get to change a tranny. luckily the ice storm let up for a few days and its halfway nice outside. but i still havent even got to finish my spoiler yet...
time for a hybrid tranny
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
time for a - im broke as hell, just bought a diamond necklace for xmas, dunno if i should even bother cuz im leaving in a month for the military and just might buy another car-
well do what i did. just get a decent junk yard tranny. what i did was look at the fluid condition. found one that had nice red fluid still and decided that was it. worked for me. mine was an automatic, dunno if your's is auto or manual. but you'd have best luck with a manual. well i hope you dont give up on the accord just because of a transmission problem.
Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

Get a tranny at the junkyard. It shouldn't be to much.

my tranny is a manual, i cant the jy tranny today cuz they just closed, but im in the process of rippin out the old one.
im not giving up just cuz of the tranny, i just really want want RWD or 4WD and when i get in the military, ill be making more money so ill be able to afford something. but then again, i might just buy a dd and save up for a B20 turbo. i love my car, but its always breaking down, then again, ive changed everything on it but the tranny and the alternator, and now im changing the tranny so everything is fairly new.
yeah, just be paitent and you can get the car you really want. basicly what i did. just set a goal and try to make it. if you're going into the military, you should soon have a good bit of money. just make sure and save up and budget well. being that the accord is old, you may want to get another dd and keep the accord as your project/fun car. thats what i've had to end up doing with mine. good luck with your tranny man.

ouch
looks like you lost a bearing or 2 and they got sucked into the gears, cracking the case. Ive never seen an accord case break in quite that way though

thats nasty
damn dave!
this shit is rediculous! i still havent got a tranny yet. the one that they pulled was bad so i gotta wait on them to pull another. BLASPHEMY!!!
yea when i took that top case off the tranny, bearings and little pieces of metal and stuff just fell out.
update: got the new (jy) tranny in finally, took 2 days to get it. it grinds a little when i put it in 3rd, sometimes. i was thinkin about puttin some lucas tranny stabilizer fluid in, what you guys think about that?
I heard syncromesh works well.b

gm syncromesh should fix it. Its more expensive than lucas but much better than lucas anyway.
