Ok, just to be clear about the whole procedure:
There are VERY few Honda Prelude 5th Gen SS Automatic transmission cores that exist. The reason for this is because there are very few SS Auto 5th Gen Preludes.
What typically ends up happening is that your transmission will need to be sent out and rebuilt.
This happens with Howard, Pheonix, Honda, and so on.
Sometimes, you get lucky and they have enough cores in stock that a few trannies have been rebuilt and are waiting for the call to be shipped to your dealer or trans shop. Other times, you are fairly screwed.
It is not uncommon to have the SS tranny fail and it to take a few weeks for the dealer to get a replacement.
If we had Acura TL's... we'd be in fine shape.
