The "rebuilt" transmission uses a previously used case, so law requires
that it be listed as "remanufactured". However, everything inside is
new and it is built by the same manufacturer that builds the "new"
transmissions that are installed in the factory.

Can you deal with a re-used outer case? I'm sure you can. Does the
fact that the case is used mean it's not realisitcally a new
transmission? No. It's just how the law is written.

So to pooh-pooh Honda's use of "remanufactured" transmissions is silly.
Everything inside the case is new, from the original manufacturer. How
much newer do you need before you're satisfied that it's a "new"
transmission?

Don't pooh-pooh Honda; pooh-pooh your lawmakers who wrote the law.
