I’ve been offered a goodwill replacement on a Honda transmission with Honda kindly picking up the majority of the cost. Even so, this is far from a freebie to me. My existing transmission is original and under 60k miles but time has expired on the factory powertrain warranty. The problem the current trans has is very intermittent, but the question is whether it will get worse with time.
Honda’s offer seemed like a logical step until, after asking the question, I was told it would be a remanufactured, not a new unit.
Does anyone here know what Honda means by the term “remanufactured”? I guess it could mean anything from replacing all internal parts subject to wear to simply fixing whatever was wrong with the donor core and testing it.
Honda remanufactured products come with a 3/36 warranty, which is comforting. But I surely don’t want to wind up with a 100k transmission with an uncertain maintenance history that has simply been repaired.
There is a 7 year-old thread on this subject somewhere here that seems a little inconclusive and things change. Any thoughts/experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks!
