My 95' Accords (LX 2.2L) engine finely gave up the ghost. I'm the second owner and have a Tech that is willing to help me do the swap. I talked to a shop and asked about doing both the engine and transmission at the same time. The Transmission has 305,XXX and has never been serviced so I was surprised to hear him say don't use a low mile import just rebuild the one I have now.

Has anyone had experience good or bad doing both an engine/transmission swap or put in a low mile transmission? His comment has me perplexed on whether my original plan is a good idea. This comment came from a local Japanese import special chain with a very good rep.

 

*shrug* Ask them WHY they say that. Also what transmission is it? AT or MT?
Not sure why they would say that, other than possibly the supply chain has been hindered due to the Tsunami. With that said, installed a low mileage AT into the '95 EX. Seems to be working fine.
