- Today on overspray, My cvt transmission gave out on my honda after 120k, which to me is a bit premature. Luckily for me i was able to source a good used one out of a 2016 honda accord sport, I am also fortunate enough to have friends with shops that allowed me to use their lift to remove the trans, without their help i wouldnt have been able to get it done so cheaply. Dealer wanted 5k to replace, 1800 labor + 3k for the trans. i sourced a used on for 350 bucks and was able to install it myself for basically free, i do owe them a good lunch tho. Here is the process of what it took to replace it myself.
Huge savings and that’s a good buddy to have. Good stuff man
Ima go with the 2011 avalon 6 speed NO CRIPPLED VENERABLE TRANSMISSION,hope you have better luck,and you got mad skills👍👍👍
Very impressive work Chris. Nice to have a buddy with a lift also willing to share. Buying lunch for the garage crew a very wise move on your part.
👍👏🏻You are the prime example so far I have watched here on YT on this same model of my accord with this tranny job except I have manual. I been looking and finally came across to your blog and glad i found it. I believe and agree it’s a pretty big job especially when u have to bring down the sub-frame. It’s necessary to do proper cleaning on the component for replacement. It’s the right way to do it. Knowledge, basic skills and confidence equates to your saving of $4500 which I am looking forward as well to do on my manual tranny as I’m about to hit 170K mileage. Yes I would treat my fellow friends also for letting me have a free lift for the day as well on my free lessons as apprentice on my local repair shop here in central Cali. 5 ⭐️ & exceptional DIY work 🔧🔩🪛💰🙂
You could also use an engine fixture holding bar and it would keep the engine in place while you work on the rest pretty cool way to go.
Haha no way 😂 I am changing one right now and came across your video 👍🏻
Great video..hoping you can have a how to rebuild a transmission on a budget...thank you have a blessed day and be blessed
Back when I was younger I used to do them at people's houses mobile mechanic style....you get 4 large jack stands to put the car on high enough.... and a engine hoist and low profile dolly to slide the engine and trans out....the cherry picker would lower the engine/trans down on dolly and out they came.....not doing it like that anymore....LOL!
Great vid bro, I got a 2013 at 115k so was just wondering cost vs labor on it, think I'll let a shop do it but a used one will be gotten for sure 💯💪🔥
Good work,my 4 speed is 11 years old and I might not be getting that crv😁
🙌🏻 nice work
At least you had noise. Mine just popped out of nowhere and done. I hoped it was the axle...... nope. 125k miles. Smh. Oh btw, this happened yesterday
Man, that sucks, good you had a buddy with a lift and was willing to give you the time...Also is disheartening that it failed that early, smh.. I have two identical 2013 lx's only 3 numbers apart. One has 167k the other 147k and I am VERY hard on both of the tranny's, manual down shifting and running it out etc when passing. They run like champs and have plenty of pull. My normal highway speed is 85mph, and then down shifting and passing up to 120 at times... Guess I better knock it off, lol. Maybe the 2013/14 "type ones" are "better"... Wish me luck
Thanks for your insight. I could have imagined doing this with a mere transmission jack while putting my car on ramps, but now I see that a lift would be needed maybe. Scotty Kilmer says that the 2015 transmission was problematic and that the 2016 transmission was the point at which Honda really had a CVT. My 2015 transmission is good but I cannot tell what kind of odorless fluid accumulates beneath it. It seems like water but also seems oily. Don’t know why water would accumulate underneath the transmission. Does the fluid for this transmission stink like other fluids?
How did you get the steering rack off ? Is there like a bolt on the end of column
Did you happen to notice a steady clicking noise while your foot was on the gas for a while leading up to the blown transmission? I have been noticing a steady clicking noise from my 2013 accord sport for some time now while my foot is on the gas. I have taken it to 2 mechanics and both said the noise may be coming from the transmission but that I would need to take it to a transmission specialist to have it taken apart. I'm seeing all sorts of different possibilities on different forums. Just don't want to take it to a transmission specialist and pay for that with no strong chance of a resolution
It's good when u can help yourself but did u change the filter in the trans.
With that kind of savings, I wonder if there are places to rent lift time. Plus the specialty jacks, engine supports, etc. Would also need the factory instructions to remove and replace transmission. Repair shops should rent time on Sunday when they are closed.
I enjoyed this video. I have a 2013 Accord with 94,000 miles. No problems yet, but been concerned about how long the transmission will last and how much to replace with a new one. Sounds like I won’t get much of a warning before it goes? Maybe I should trade in for a Camry?
I'm almost there. At the point where I'm taking out the subframe. Did you have to remove the starter?
