Just do a search on those automatics, they are not something you want. While there is a good change it's probably ok, several members have had absolute horror stories involving those transmissions. Mostly on the V6 model, but the 4cyl is not completely exempt.

I've got a 95 EX with 358K + miles and the original auto trans, knocking on wood right now. Yes I've been changing the trans fluid every 40K since it hit ~220K but still going strong. Planning a drain and fill in the next couple of weeks.

Re: 2001 accord
On the transmission, not all transmissions in that generation* failed, just more than normal. Especially in the V6 models, but if yours has made it 400,000 miles, I don't think the transmission will be the next thing to fail. And even if it does you can do an automatic to manual transmission swap for around $1,500 (much cheaper than putting a rebuilt automatic transmission in).
I recommend doing the swap, if nothing else you will be in a safer car with the airbags and less temptation to drive fast.
* The '01 is a part of the sixth generation, '98 through '02

Re: 2001 accord
The car weighted alot, even with 45-50 more hp it's still lacks the torque that it needs badly. It's kind of sucks to spend 3g and still sporting the "swapped and still slow" monkey in your back.In the car passenger airbag worked, I want to erase the crash from the SRS unit. I bought Honda Airbag Reseter for TMS320 but it does not work directly on the car. Will try to connect reseter directly to the unit.

Anyway, good luck with the trade OP. Hope that thing lasts many more miles!
