How much to fix snap ring defect?

[Paul Nichols]

I'm looking at '92 which falls into the snap ring range but was never fixed. Does anyone know what this costs to fix? Anyone know of a good tech in Atlanta?

Thanks in advance.

I was quoted about $2000 for a preventative repair.

The parts typically cost around $700 or so, the labor takes 8-12 hours.

That being said, I wouldn't bother doing this unless the snap ring failed, or you needed other transmission work (clutch replacement, gearing changes) at the same time.

sometimes acura service district reps will fix the problem if its defective free of charge under whats called "goodwill money"; its rare but it happens :smile:

Well said.

Just because it is in the snap ring range, it does not mean that it will break.

How many miles do you have on the car?

Is this car red? snap ring already broken?
