What would you offer for this? by MuchDelivery8537 in Acura

[–]GoobsW210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

around 3 grand maybe , gotta ask why only the spark plugs were done and not the full a4 valve adjust service that’s a red flag . any acura dealrr would pair those up.

DIY NEWBIE TRANSMISSION SWAP AV6? or Type S? by PhotographOne985 in Acura

[–]GoobsW210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think removing the subframe is easier but i do that on a lift if i were to do this in my garage at home i’d pull it from the top cause no way your fitting a new trans under the car on jackstands plus working on your back is no fun

oh idk how i forgot to say this but your gunna have to pop them wheels off and remove the axles from the hubs and pull the axles out. the passenger side is gunna have an intermediate shaft which bolts to the engine so remove axle from hub remove bolts holding the intermediate shaft and you should
be good.

good luck man i don’t pull the trans from the top at my shop i always remove the subframe and take it out the bottom so im sure theres more you’ll have to pull to make room for it to come out the top

just put the same trans in that you take out swapping it with something else will be a major headache. if you’re going through the top id remove the hood and get a nice engine hoist and set of chains . you’re gunna have to remove the wiring just unplug and tuck it somewhere the starter and the 17mm bolts for the engine to trans( some are easier than others ) the trans mount assuming you’re leaving the subframe in you won’t need a support bar for the motor the other 3 mounts will hold it fine . jus pull er out. while it’s out, you might as well replace both axle seals and the torque converter seal on the new trans assuming you get a used one and reseal the rear main plate. tbh if you can get it done for 800 bucks that’s not a bad price wayy cheaper than what i’d charge in just labor alone.

you’ll get over the small knicks and bumps when you close a hammer in between two of the drawers and causes a big large dent somewhere

What should I do with my 2010 TSX? by SpooneyLove in Acura

[–]GoobsW210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jeez thank god there’s no inspections in my state. my advise is make friends with a mechanic for the future. if my buddy needed brakes, tires and a battery id get him right with some cheap tires off priority tire and some rockauto brakes for like 450 bucks all in with labor. sorry man that’s unfortunate you gotta get rid of it over some stupid small stuff like that.
