Just bought a 99 CR-V EX 4WD with 130,000 for $1500. The transmission pump is whining and slips as you drive. So I'm planning on having it rebuilt. I haven't pulled a CR-V tranny but I have on Chevys so I'm planning on pulling it out myself to save $300.

Anyone have tips on this process? Videos would be amazing.

Do I need to pull the engine to get the tranny out?

What's an average price to have it rebuilt? So far the quotes are $1700-$2100 to just it rebuilt.
