[379Kcivic]

Thanks for the specifics on the tranny. So you're thinking $200-250 parts alone?

1.How much time do you think a professional mechanic who specializes in Japanese makes would need?
2.Am I looking at $500 in labor?
3. Any sites that you or anyone else recommend for parts?

I'm so paranoid someone is going to try and sell me a dx or cx tranny just because it will fit.

It's funny, my first car was an '89 Civic DX hatch that drove flawlessly until 379K; and from there I sold it to a guy at Tire Discounters and have since found out it has surpassed 500K on the original engine. I am not surprised! I say it's funny because the VX reminds me of that 89 hatch in lots of ways, but of course it does everything better.

I can't wait to get the tranny replaced and see what she does mpg-wise on the first tank.
I'd like to get this transmission done right now and hopefully it will last another 100-150K miles.
