    misaligned throttle pressure cable for the transmissions will also cause the thud on upshift between first and second

    low fluid can also cause flaring if the torque converter cannot couple


    Well explained

    Bandaid fix for short-term, maybe 5,000-10,000KM+.

    Replacement auto GBox will be cheap, add labour to change it over and new fluid, it's probably a $800-1,000 problems parts and labour.

    Where do you live? Get a tranny mechanic not a Honda dealer.

    Why dont you do a b16a2 conversation, since your already spending 1k.

    Will cost at most 3k, But then you will get alot more power and many years of fun out of the car.

    ECUMAN has a good write up on b series conversion if you wanna do it yourself and save yourself a 1k for installation.

    Just my 2cents.

    Hope it works out for you in the end. Auto trannys dont last as long as Manual box's.

    I predict $4g for a B16A + install. Doubt he wants to spend that rather than just buy an EK4/EM1?

    If its a VTI, it would be the CVT. SO it wont be as straight forward as putting a 4 speed automatic in.
    Drive it till it dies and in the meantime save up for a new car.

    $2k odd for a working CVT transmission is probably ok. Although if that is second hand, how long will that last.

    Yep i understand what you guys are all saying. I guess it always a hard decision. But ah ek said, a second hand transmission might not last that long either. And spending 4 grand on the car when i can pick up another car for the same, if not a bit more doesn't seem economical. I am going to see a transmission specialist hopefully next week and see what they say. Thanks for all the advice.
