rocknskulls Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 sounds like your transmission went out best bet is to take it to a shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_agu28 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I would say check the clutch but it is a auto.... Best bet is drag it to a shop. It is most likely going to be transmission related. I swear transmissions are the hardest things to fix unless you know what you are doing. Sorry to hear that car is broken.

Ben. Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 TQ Convertor probably took a sh*t resulting in shift solenoids being fried and several other things to go awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 they are very complicated inside. somewhat. it shouldnt hurt your tranny dude to do what you did. did your engine light come on? if reverse still works , thats a good sign. i doubt the tranny is fuked totally.

Ben. Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Yes just recently my truck's transmission took a sh*t. You should thank God that your repair bill is nowhere near what mine is. 2100 for rebuild, 1900 for new tranny plus cost of labor/parts to put in. Wanna' know why? My forward clutch bands welded together, (dunno HOW..truck has a tranny cooler and was full of transmission fluid at the time) thus locking it in drive. When it's in park, it's in drive. When it's in neutral or reverse, it's STILL in drive.. Yea.. if I were you I MIGHT get a second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delsol209 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 i say get a second opinion bro and then make ur decision on wat you want to do cause thats a grip of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8r4lf222 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 so i found a solution for this and my money problem, ive decided to take out a loan that i wouldve sold on a transmission, and buy a WHOLE other prelude with a good condition trans and get one of my friends who is a mechanic to replace the trans, so now i have even more spare parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delsol209 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 so how does this help ur money problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8r4lf222 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 use the new lude to replace anything i need on my current one and part off the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delsol209 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 so im guessin this prelude is comming from the junkyard cause there is no way to find a prelude like ur models for that cheap well at least i dont think so but i get wat your saying now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8r4lf222 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 well i found a couple preludes for about 5 grand, and it would have cost 4 grand for a new transmission WITHOUT the cost of labor, so i thought extra 1k extra whole car, ya know?

delsol209 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 yea well that be cool then i mean as long as you can get people who need parts from a prelude but good deal man i can see how you worked that one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 If you bought another Prelude, why not just sell the one with the bad transmission? Seems like more of a waste to buy a new car, just to take out a part when you can just sell the crap one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah, but you should do the important things...like, changing the oil, getting cel checked out, shifting..lol.. i know your pain, im 21 living of $6.25/hr...working at most 23 hours a week...

sk8r4lf222 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 ok, new plan...this is definate too because its already in progress lol...the old shop was gonna charge $3492.77 for used trans (82,000 miles), install, materials, etc. the whole 9. BUT no warranty at all....sooo i found a transmission shop thats gonna rebuild my entire transmission, install and everything for $2000, and a 12000 mile/12 month warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delsol209 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 rite there is a good deal bro cause the time and labor alone is worth more than that so good deal i think anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Jesus H Tittyfracking Christ son. You'll make more than that doing manual labor. yeah, but manual labor(which i have done every kind possible for about 2 years now) isnt flexible enough with my schedual.. right now its not a bid deal being that b/c i cant drive i have no wany to get to school and therefore and not currently enrolled..but i got the job when i was in school, and they woudl always give me the days i needed off.. not to mention, when i get my license back, im going to be delivering again.. which means i shoul dbe back to making around $200 a week in tips.. bring me to about 2g a month.. not too bad considering most of it the gov. wont be able to touch.. and i may be a little late with the idea, being that your plan is already under way.. but why not just hit a junk yard, find a decent milage wreck, and pull the trans, and replace it? seems to me liek you would save a LOT of money that way..

sk8r4lf222 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 i thought about that but why get a crashed lude's USED trans when i can get the trans shop to rebuild mine with brand new parts money well spent i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
