Are Honda warrantied automatic trannies reman or rebuilt?
 
Dealer ordered one for me today, but he says it will either be new or rebuilt. Chances rebuilt and you only get a new one if there are no rebuilt ones available in the country, then they pull a brand new one from the factory where they make them. But he says that when the tranny comes in, he wont be able to tell me if its a new one or rebuilt.

When he says rebuilt, does he mean reman? He says that how the process works is, when a honda tranny goes bad, the dealer pulls it and sends it to their Honda repair plant for trannies to repair and test. Does Honda have their own plant for rebuilding trannies or do they outsource them to general tranny shops?

He says at this plant, this is where they take apart the trannies and rebuild them replacing every single seal, part, clutch pack, gear, inside no matter if its still good or not. Then it goes under rigerous testing before being put up as a available to the dealers.

Does this sound legit?

Should I be concerned if I get shipped a rebuilt one? I sure hope all dealers go through their OEM repair plant and not scour for used trannies from junkyards or 3rd party tranny shops. I would be very upset if they got my tranny from a 3rd party non OEM certified shop.

It's a warranty job, it will not come from a junkyard.
It will be a Honda approved unit, either new or reman.

Quit worrying.

Normally the Honda will do remanufacture one but most of the components are brand new in that transmission that is why the take your old one and send it back. when I did on mine 2001 Honda civic it came with 3 years or 35,000 miles which ever come first. Its literally a brand new one your ride become so smooth but if you do make sure you add an external transmission oil filter which will help your transmission work for a longer time. Hope this helps.

i would also ad a transmission cooler. to bad they don't make the racing overhaul transmission kits anymore that would make your stock car bullet proof.

Use magnefine in line filter to protect/extend transmission (just after 5K miles) :)
