A lady freind of mine and her acura

[AWDGuy]

She was driving down the high way and heard a loud bang, and the car started dying...

She drives an Acura EL, and apparantly the tranny blew up on her. The shop is asking for $3000 to fix it...

What tranny works with this car? I figured it should be pretty common and I could probably source one for much chepaer than that...

[CRXZC]

Auto I'm assuming?

If 5-spd - 3000 is way overpriced... check http://www.car-part.com

See how much a used tranny is going for... then add about 6 hours labour...at b17gsr... so around 250-300 + fluids

Call arnprior of ottawa for used, or go see rob at mr transmission on st laurent, really good lad.

impossible, not a domestic.

An EL is really a Civic. Any equivalent year civic tranny would work fine.

Trans should be $300-600 used, another $300-500 for installation. $3000 is criminal. Post the name of the garage that gave that quote.

If it's a 97-00 EL automatic, these guys are local, and have several in stock for $450.

Yup, thats my place of choice, helps there just down the street, well...kind of. :lol:

Thanks for the info.

:( Too late though, she was kind of stuck and had to get the car fixed, I feel really bad that she got taken for a ride. It's a shop in embrun, trying to get the name now.

how is it when she told you the shop was asking her that you didnt straight up tell her there were taking her for a ride?

Tell her to find out 100% that they either put in a new or rebuilt tranny into her EL..

If they put a used one in and charged her $3000 she should be taking action, because that's highway robbery..

There can't be too many shops in Embrum.
