Reviews of OEM Honda parts For Business

Im on the original Honda W/P on my 03 SI w/ 185k mi.

Yeah P0740 is the writing on the wall that the tc is on the way out. However, I'd try a couple things before throwing in the towel. Firstly, changing all the fluid out and replacing the filter is a start.

Oh yeah, when you re-seal everything (cam timing covers, etc) use Honda Bond from your local Honda dealer @ $10/tube. I've had much better luck with this on machined surfaces, being leak free on many personal cars for 5+ years.

Compared to the honda ones I don't notice a difference in the cabin air. They fitted fine and saved me about $20 bucks.

2000 Honda Oddyssey

High mileage but runs good, small dent on driver's quarter panel. Rebuilt trans, shifts good, engine runs great just had valves done. A/C doesn;'t work probaly needs freon. 3.5l v6 automatic. Aftermarket radio HAS AUX JACK. New headlight lenses, new intake tube, new break pads

My 1994 Honda Prelude VTEC had its original timing belt at 242k, and had no cracking or obvious signs of wear.

I just had a new alternator put in 2 months ago (3k miles ago) at a different shop. Could all this be caused by a bad alternator?

speaking of wipers....can we talk about how horrible the Honda 'Inside out' ones are? :screwy: :thumbdown:

As hard as I've tried I really just don't like the CVT at all. It's very unrefined and herky-jerky under hard acceleration and it reminds me of what it's like to drive a power boat. Just two gears...one forward and one backward. It does have simulated gear shifts (it's supposed to mimic a 7-speed transmission) but at the end of the day I just don't like it. This was my first AND LAST car with a CVT.

The oil filter on my Civic. It's located behind the engine block, and the only problem is that my hands and arms are too big to reach it :(
