It depends on which of my alter egos is feeling frisky that day :-)

Pete's a nickname. Rick's my real name.

Well folks, I just went to the dealer to pick up my car, which I
dropped off yesterday for it's first oil change and some rattles. I
also asked them to check the tranny because it took a bit to engage
into drive from P, R or N(1 2 second delay to engage D). No biggie, I
thought... I was hoping that they would say that this is
normal.....been like this from day #1 Nope, "Re manufactured
Transmission" has been ordered. Service told me that this is not
"normal". They also told me that they have replaced transmissions on
other '03's. I didn't ask for details but I did want to let you all
know because I have seen posts on these boards with this same symptom.
Question: They tell me that a "Re manufactured Transmission" is not a
"re built transmission" because ALL the innards are new (perhaps used
casing) and it's not assembled in an assembly line, but rather by
humans at Honda motors... Is this true? I also demanded a new torque
converter.. they told me that Honda only sends them as together to
eliminate contamination concerns. Does anyone have the facts on these
two items? Anyone out there work or have worked in Service? Lastly,
has anyone had a tranny replaced before? If so, what everything right
after that major repair (alignment, rattles, no damage, etc.) They
tell me that the car will not need wheel alignment. Can anyone confirm
that? Sorry for the long post, but given all the tranny issues and
questions, I thought the replies to this one would be helpful for
others as well. Thanks!

Agree, that guy is a looser, BIG TIME. I'm tired of waiting through
all of his nonsensical posts. Yes, Mike Hunt, that be you. MTFWTAW
