I just bought mine with 100k on it new t belt and all that done right of me

the dealer said that they just rebuilt the auto tranny due to a bad motor mount blah blah

but whats this i hear bout these v6's having bad trannies? when should i expect mine to pop? even though its rebuilt? lol

 

ask the dealer to show you the maint records WHERE they replced the trans. IF they did it they got records of it. and HONDA dealers DO NOT "rebuild" transmissions, they replace them.

Correct. If the auto tranny is bad its pull out the old and stick in a re-man. Hell even some of those are bad right out of the box. The Odyssey is deff. worse then the accord but the accord V6 is pretty bad.

 

American Honda motors have extended the warranty on specific models starting with 1999. The warranty extesion is for the auto transmission for 109k miles or 7years and 9months which ever comes first.

 

i think it starts in 2000.

 

it only covers 00-01 accords 98,99 and 02 models are NOT covered

 

it wasnt a honda dealer i got it from

i actually got mine from a wholesaler dealer

i wasnt sure what all they did to the tranny but they said t was rebuilt (the dealer owns a tranny shop too)

 

how much did u pay i have a 1998 accord v6 mah trannys starting to act up now at 107k i bought it at 89k i have to replace my motor mount my friends dad replaced it for 200$ but now my gear ratios are messed up like when im hittin 40mph my rpms race to like 6 or 7 .... how much willit cost to rebuild it at anther place than the dealer itself

 

fix you heat problem first and then diag the trans

i got mine with 100k on it with the timing belt done in front of me + they were finishing up on the tranny
mine had a bad motor mount too which they also replaced with a new one right in front of me

erm sorry i payed 8k for mine i think i got agood deal on it considering all of the maintance was done

 

it starts in 1999 with the Odysseys. 00-01 accord. 02's are being offered goodwill replacement depending on service history and mileage of course.

 

Does the 4cylinder version have the same tranny problem too? :x

 

yes and they are also covered 00-01 98,99,02 are not covered but you may get some assistance......

 

auto trans on hondas are always bad..they dont last as long especially is you beat on it

 

Ya i used to own a 2000 acura TL, went through hell and back with the stupid transmissions before selling it off for a low price. Honda sucks *** at automatics, from what i read about the accords they forgot to put thread lock on some important bolt so it comes out with vibration and smashes ur transmission. On the TL it was a 3 gear broblem they never fixed it, some suspect it was a bad bearing that overheated the 3rd gear drum causing the clutch material to deteriorate. And oh ya, never rebuild it, most shops do a crap job and u end up paying twice as much as u would one from a junk yard, on my TL the one from the junkyard was much better than the blown rebuilt crap i had for twice as much money.

 

i got my 99 accord tranny covered under the warranty that evidently doesnt extend to it.

 

acutally it's the 2nd gear that overheats and bakes the fluid. There are also spots in the transmission where the transfluid exceeds 315 defrees F and it happens during the 2/3 shift. This in turn causes the clutch pack to toast and then the unit will not shift. other problem cause by loss of hydraulic pressure on forward cluch results in IMMEDIATE shift into 2nd gear no matter how fast you are going. It really isn't a problem for the Type S engine as it maxes out at 80 in second but the CL/TL-p it can over rev your stuff easily of you are above 70 not to mention the immediate decelleration caused by the sudden downshift.

signs that your auto trans is going out.

1. delayed shifting (not to be confused with higher shift points during warm-up) ie a pause between shifts
2. car likes to "pop" out of gear and then goes right back in
3. car starts jerking when acellerating from a slow down (didn't come to a complete stop)
4. you gotta change your fluid 3x within 15K under normal driving (ME)
