But there is no way I can lift it on to the kitchen counter whole. This is much heavier than the 5-speed Insight transmissions I've rebuilt. Think I have to take it apart in the garden cart first.
Transmission pulled from my Civic and in the house for rebuild

That's to bad . The kitchen has to be my favorite spot to work on cars too .
Pretty good. Way better than the scissor type transmission jack I used the first time. Much more stable. Only down side is it's quite heavy so I keep it in the hall closet just a few feet from the front door.
you have got to be single
So the fight to reinstate the warranty didn't pan out?
You're a braver man than myself

Good man! Phots of the rebuild would be fantastic!
atikovi feels like that odd uncle you have. Never had kids, single, lives a pretty simple and frugal life, has a ton of vehicles and works on them in the house, and has a pile of cash he never spends. These are just assumptions but I don’t feel like I’m too far off.
Warranty reinstated but Honda found out the previous owner took it to another Honda dealer when the clutch went out and the owner didn't get it fixed. So they wouldn't do the transmission now.So the fight to reinstate the warranty didn't pan out?

No pile of cash, all liquid assets in high interest savings accounts.
Close enough!
I'm not even an uncle. You want me to pick apart the rest of your assumptions?
Naw, how much could a few syncros and bearings cost? Dealer wanted over $3,000 plus whatever else they find broken inside, once apart to repair it.
No good used ones available?
Just started.
Just started,
Keep us updated @atikovi, as I can't wait to see photos of the progress.

Don't know how good, but maybe half a dozen in the whole country starting at $2500 plus shipping.
The kitchen counter 
While I get the policy, my patience would've run out on the spot
Once it's all back together, make sure it goes in for every recall/TSB/reflash or update you can pry out of them by quoting the "customer may comment" line
Rubber damper caps, PGM-FI reflash, some Fakra connectors and a head unit update, I believe there was a fuel pump recall?
A/C compressors/condensers seem a common failure, see if you can lead them down that avenue
Yes, I'm that petty
Yes, I've dragged cars with two weeks left on B2B warranty in for 4 solid pages of complaints, because screw them
I've argued 8y/80k emissions at 7 years 51 weeks, with ~500 miles left
And I made them reimburse for a rental car
I always go see the tech, throw a few dollars his way, I'm not that cruel
Expensive revised parts, I'll have them please
Lots of pictures of the carnage
