Transmission Dew-dew

[entodad]

Lets see...
Rebuild kit for a 4l60e transmission......about $300 plus extras
Time required for pulling,
rebuilding, stabing, pulling,
tearing down again, stabing and pulling again.......about 3 months
The time it took the tranny guy
to tear it down, find the problem
and reassemble............................................about 3 hours
My wife's take on how much I looked
like a durn fool..........................................Priceless


After much fussing fuming etc. etc. that tranny that didn't have any reverse was the victim of a snap ring in the pump that didn't quite seat
fully and pushed out when I engaged reverse.  Had the goofy thing pushed all of the way out and into the pan I would have seen it easily, but it only pushed a little and looked right even to the tranny guy, but he ran an air check on the part some how and it flew right out...
Now all I gotta do is put it back in again....grumble grumble grumble

Next tranny question for Tony
What do you recommend for a 5 speed accord tranny (STD 1988) that has no 5th gear.... that is a parts source and any thing to look out for...
