a friend of mine wants me to change her busted automatic tranny out of her 89 civic dx coupe with a rebuilt one. i've never swapped a tranny out before nonetheless an automatic. is it very difficult? the car has been sitting around in her garage for a year now and she really isn't in a hurry to get it fixed. but she doesnt wanna pay the 1k that aamco quoted her. i know i should have her pickup a haynes or chilton manual for sure. any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

 

good luck if you have never done a tranny before your in for a real good time. its not hard its just like everything else it takes time. but a $1,000 isnt bad if that incl. trannyand labor. just remember use the right tool dont work harder but smarter.

ya $1,000 for labor. hmm...anyone else with advice?

 

if you have time go for it shouldn't take you more than 4 hours on the ground with basic hand tools

 

Wayy back from the dead..but this is the only post about ef coupes I could find..Is there any such thing? I never heard about this until like 2 days ago, never saw one. Anyone got any pics?

 

Nope, they never made a 88-91 coupe. There was only the crx, hatchback, sedan, and wagon. By coupe I am assuming he means hatch but I could be wrong.

 

Alright..my friend said there was one..then i saw this thread..i was doubting myself lol but now I know.
