    1998 V6 Coupe no start, clicking from main relay, transmission shift solenoids.

    Hello everyone. Not really urgent, but it's a no start, so I guess this is the place. Car in question is a 1998 V6 Coupe with 266k km on it. I last drove it in November after putting a transmission in it, and it ran perfectly fine then. The battery went completely dead over the winter, and I...

    RL Wheels

    I ran 16" OZs with a +44 or +42 offset this past summer; they barely cleared the front brakes.

    I'm pretty sure stock tire size is 205/60R15, not 70R15. Going wider often causes issues, especially with the rear swaybar links.

    wtb 5spd trans mount bracket

    Is it a piece of rubber glued to a piece of steel? Similar to the V6 ones? If so, they are cheap aftermarket. The front one for my 02 was $17 CAD brand new.

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    All the 6th gens I've worked on have been V-6, so yours will be different. Any pics of the rust? Also I wonder if the drain for the AC is in a different spot on a 4-cyl car, so maybe that rust problem is a 4-cyl only problem. If you're only doing the rear beam, it might be possible to leave...

    Please help. Oil leak

    Since you're saying driver's side, I am assuming you are 4-cyl. Is it definitely oil? I know on V6s many people have been fooled into doing cam seals by leaky power steering pumps. By your last post, though, I'm guessing you are pretty sure it's oil, and pretty confident of your diagnosis...

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    I see you are in Chicago, which sounds like a place that probably salts the roads, so you probably have some rust. Are you talking about the whole subframe or just the front half? I didn't have to reove the rear beam of the subframe for the transmission; the last time I did that it was in that...

    Transmission woes. (DD)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbVmrwD8QT8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfdRD-agb8s Here are some videos that are worth your while, they are a teardown and rebuild of transmissions in our family. The teardown is a 99tl I think, its only major difference is that the Accord lacks the oil...

    So you're fixing it, eh? Good. It'll be better than anything else you'll be able to get for a few thousand bucks. You'll miss the V6. You planning on doing it on the ground or you have a hoist? Trust me, this is the time to call in favours to your friend with a hoist. I am SORE today hahaha.

    Yeah, the silver car was good to me. I actually just used the alternator from it in Connie on Sunday afternoon. I'm going to take the green car for a longer drive tomorrow, it's supposed to be +7. I think that's like mid-40s american. You get that civic rebuild running yet??

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    I haven't noticed it, but then I haven't really been looking for it, either. Probably helps that the AC doesn't get used often around here. I'll take a look tomorrow when I don't feel so awful. The way I feel today makes me feel old after fighting with cars all weekend. The AC on Connie...

    Transmission Issues (not my DD)

    Transmission successfully installed! Probably took about 5 hours of actual work; so not too bad. But good lord would a hoist have made things a billion times easier. Got a new axle installed as well After getting it back together, I ran it back and forth in the yard, let it settle, topped...
