    Honda Automatic Transmission Installation

    I have a 1991 Honda Prelude which just had a gearbox rebuild, the mechanic said the car has just gone up on the hoist.

    Im just curious as to how long it will take to put the fly wheel and gearbox back in and when it should be ready, and also what other things will he have to do with the car once its in?

    Thanks again!

    This is a strange question. Why didn't you just ask him how long?

    There is lots of things that could effect how long it takes, but if everything goes well, should be done in a few hours.

    He obviously wants to know the parts that will be required, and the labour involved, so that he doesn't get ripped off. Why would he ask the mechanic these questions? The mechanic will tell him whatever he likes.

    He has had it for over a year now.

    I wrang yesterday, and the gearbox has been fully rebuilt, he just has to put it in.

    Im wondering how long does it take to put a gearbox back in the car?

    And what steps will he have to take after since it hasnt been turned on in over a year?

    Sorry for the condusion.

    Wow ok.

    Your mechanic should know what steps to take to crank the car after a year in his workshop?

    I was referring to more the fact that since that car hasnt started in a year, will it need all new oils, battery etc.

    its a 4 hour job, then allow 1hr for road test top up fluids, check for leaks ect.
    however if the trans doesnt run right, back to the drawing board.

    there is no reson the car has to have extra precaustions done or things changed because it hasnt been run for 1 year. Turn the key it should fire up.
