couple of issues on my honda civic that i need to fix-
first, where can i find a honda civic replacement radiator cap, and/or replacement radiator? where is the cheapest place to buy it? is it a super-involved job to change the radiator?
second, how do i repair a transmission that is leaking some fluid? i drove over some rocks that cut a few gashes in the engine and transmission. i was able to repair the engine leak with steel-reinforced epoxy, but the transmission, either i missed a puncture or two or the problem is different b/c i am still losing some transmission fluid. any tips - different compound, or better way to seal/fix?
thank you!Where to get cheap used radiator for honda civic, and how to install? also how repair leaky transmission?not to sound crazy but what were you thinking trying to put an epoxy on it, if your oil pan was punctured you need a new one or have a welder weld it once its off. your engine builds up so much pressure it could blow your epoxy off and give you an oil leak and boom goes your motor. trust me, cheap ways to fix things are nice i know but something like that is not smart at all, it can weaken in time too and you won't know it. for your transmission it could still have a hole in the pan, it mainly depends where the leak is, clean it off real good and locate it, if its the pan too replace it. if its where a gasket is just replace a gasket, or if its between the motor and the transmission it is your transmission pump leaking on the main seal and will blow your transmission if you keep on going. and a radiator you can get at a junk yard or ebay is the best for a new one. i got an aftermarket aluminum racing one for 125 shipped so if it cracks it can be welded and it doesn't keep heat at long at the plastic. they are easy to replace too its just two top brackets usually. good luckWhere to get cheap used radiator for honda civic, and how to install? also how repair leaky transmission?FIRST YOU CAN LOOK IN PHONE BOOK FOR A PARTS STORE LIKE PEP BOY'S / AUTO ZONE OR LOOK ONLINE FOR PARTS STORE USE INTERNET PHONE BOOK OR JUST GET PHONE BOOK ONCE YOU HAVE NUMBER TO A PARTS STORE THAT PARTS FOR CARS AND THEY WILL HELP YOU FOR FREE CALL THEM CALL SEVERAL OF THEM AND THEY CAN HELP YOU GOOD LUCK ALL WAYS TRY AND CALL AROUND FOR DIFFERENT PRICES ON FIXING YOU;R CAR ONCE YOU FIND PROBLEM OR THE PARTWhere to get cheap used radiator for honda civic, and how to install? also how repair leaky transmission?for the radiator go to ebay there is a ton of mods and OEM parts for civics for good prices, for the tranny id advise you to take it to a shop, epoxies and all that crap is never a good fix for that. im big on fixing things the cheapest way i can but your transmission is a whole different story when it comes down to that
