This is what I’m thinking, or GS300/400.

Well it was the only trim where the manual was available, but automatic was across the board. Maybe that’s where the confusion is.

$800 for a used transmission, could be done at home over the weekend. Boom, car easily saved

Is getting it fixed really going to be that bad? Is there some other major problem with the car? I would expect around $2500 for a rebuild at an independent shop. Doesn’t seem steep enough to just walk away from unless somebody is already making you a pretty good offer on Accord as-is right now with the blown transmission. I know it isn’t a cheap fix, but if all the car needs is a transmission it is probably a safer bet than throwing money at a used car that could potentially have hidden problems even if it is a Lexus.

Transmission and oil pump. The lowest quote I got for the transmission was $3500.

Obvious answer is to find what trans bolts up to your Accord and boom, cheap fix.
"TheHondaBro" (wwaveform)
08/09/2017 at 22:37, STARS: 0
I can do that and I probably will. I’m probably going to register it as non-running and turn it into a project car.

Oof yeah that’s getting up there into time to walk away territory for sure. I’m kinda surprised the transmission is that high, but it could be a regional thing. Any idea if it is worth more now or if you have it repaired would you get more for it after deducting the cost of repair?

For some odd reason, I know Odyssey’s transmissions bolted right up to my TL and were better built. Wonder if your accord is the same.
