Update : I got the housing cover off. yes it is a Bitch ! all the parts turn by turn out and cleaned at my level best.
And I am stuck again.

It turns out the two bearing on the differential called "Carrier bearing" does not sound smooth. they make little noise as they turn.

Where is the best place to buy those bearings?

I am also going to need Main shaft ball bearing that is on the torque converter housing behind the oil seal.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

OH also, There is a huge price difference between honda and other transmiison shop for the ATF strainer "filter inside".

What do you recommend?

get only the honda parts.... yes they might be expensive but in the long run you wont regret it.

OK, It turns out that I need to replace the mainshaft bearing on the torque converter housing.

How to get that bearing out? Can I heat up the case? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

Update : Finally all done. Took me about a month to rebuild and put it back in the car with mounts and lower control arm bushings replaced. Anyways, Long story short. The car is running smooth now. I forgot to connect one solenoid at the end and I had "D" flashing on my dash board, one that fixed, the tranny shifts like butter. at least as of now !!

I bought Derale cooler kit for the transmission. http://inet.derale.com/clientdocs/1_257.pdf
When I opened it, it seems like a Engine oil cooler kit. If I buy an filter adapter I can use it as ATF cooler and filter.

My question is, what is recommended?

Tranny cooler+ filter kit or Engine cooler?

Let me know. Thanks.
