    How can we get 6thgen more activity?

    Oh, shoot, guess I'm wasting my time. I'm surprised you 5 have no clues. I'll look elsewhere.

    2000 V6 leaks fluid near firewall

    Hello, anyone got an idea? Pass side, near " firewall", there's smoke when the surface is hot after a drive. Not a ton. Not like the steam of overheating, for example. I was thinking oil from the valve cover gasket, coolant squeaking out somewhere. But its a relatively clear and odorless fluid...

    Little help with timing belt, '99 V6

    Well into a water pump/timing belt replacement I realized I was ill-prepared. Having watched some videos now I feel I did ok. I had a new belt, pump, and idler pulley and tensioner pulley and tensioner. Happy for the latter since it came with the clip holding the pin compressed. I had a Hayne's...

    T'shooting Transmission Solenoid Assembly

    Hey, I've become well, not familiar, but let's say "aware" of these solenoids as I've replaced a couple of transmissions. So I'm just curious: did you replace, and was there an effect?

    RIP Accord. My '99 Accord is dead.

    Just to chime in... '99 V6 tranny went at 150K; same week the '99 4-cyl tranny became unworkable (it had been tolerable for a while) at 200K. I'd never removed an engine that wasn't a VW (Bus, Bug, Fastback) but I thought pulling this transmission seems feasable.. Plus I'd paid $7000 for the V6...

    Automatic tranny will NOT come out

    Matt, I do indeed have a second jack under the engine to support it, and I raise and lower it slightly. Probably puts a bit of strain on the mount on the driver's side

    Automatic tranny will NOT come out

    Thanks you guys for the replies; Matt those are good ideas. No, turns out I failed to remove the bolt on the top, engine side, that I couldn't see and had no idea to look for. Can't remember how the V6 set up differs, but don't remember a bolt here. Now that I know, removing another 4-cyl this...

    Automatic tranny will NOT come out

    I appreciate the replies, sorry I didn't see them yesterday, but I won't be able to get back to the car until Friday. Just to say: big floor jack is under the trans, smaller one with a wood block under the oil pan. I've been wrangling and rocking the trans and I'm moving both engine and trans...

    Automatic tranny will NOT come out

    Yes, got the flex plate disconnected and I see some separation from the torque converter. I really do think I've removed the nuts and bolts, maybe even some that weren't necessary around the rear mount. That may be a problem if brute force is necessary, as T.S. seems to suggest, because I've got...

    Automatic tranny will NOT come out

    Hello, please help. I replaced a 6-cyl tranny with success, so I'm doing the 1999 4-cylinder, but I cannot separate it from the engine. All I can imagine is after 250,000 miles the rear dowel is frozen. I got the front moving apart, and finally pried it open, just beyond the dowel length. But in...

    99 V6 won't start after new tranny installed

    Hello, I can't get a '99 Accord V6 EX to start after a rebuild transmission install. Has 144,000 miles, and I bought rebuild from Ozotive in Sacramento, installed it myself. Not the easiest thing I've ever done, but all seems ok, until ready to test it, no start. New battery, sounds normal as it...
