I paid $675 for the timing belt, cam and crank seals and water pump, etc. I just got my transmission replaced under warranty two months ago at dealership. Three questions: 1)I am not sure if I got the honda parts I requested. The part# reads WPC#######. What is the WPC? (Interestingly this was one of the few times the honda parts were cheaper then aftermarket according to mechanic.) 2)My RPMs stay at about 3 or 3.25 at 65-70mph. It seems like the engine is working harder. Not sure if this is correct or due to new trannie. 3)Should I be looking at gas mileage? I really don't have an idea what that is since I did not check before the new trannie and belt. I had taken my car for 10 years to a honda certified mechanic but in the last few years he got very bad with customer service (not calling back, no estimates, actual final cost higher, doing work without permission). Any ideas out there? Will I be alright? |

<blufz1: Well my old mechanic "quoted (of course he still has "to get back to" me and its been a month and 4 calls from me later, hence me firing him)" $900 for JUST the timing belt. But as I said he started to get too big for his britches.> The mechanic I took it to has been in business 50 years and family owned and recommended. But ONLY the trannie is from the dealership. So just as I understand correctly the RPM issue has to do with the trannie NOT the timing belt. Thanks for all the info so far!

Sorry, I should be more clear. The RPM issue does NOT have to do with the timing belt correct?

Then the converter should lock up, at about 45mph. This is 4 shifts. If you aren't getting all of them, you have a problem. But if everything isn't working, the car should also be setting an error code. Tranny error codes are indicated by the transmission gear selector "D" blinking. Does the "D" blink in your car? If so, there truly is something wrong in the tranny. |

| There is no error code but I will do the test tonight and see if I get 4 shifts the 4th being the "converter lock?" Will that feel like the first 3 shifts when it hits 45mph? Should it ever hit 3 RPMs and stay there under 70mph? | |
