Default Windshield wipers are slow and don't park in the same position each time

Wipers sometimes go all the way to the corner of the windshield glass, sometimes they stop about 2 inches short. They also don't park in the same spot each time.

Wipers are also pretty slow.

I'm guessing the wiper motor assembly has some kind of limit switch and it's not working correctly. Is this something that can be fixed? Or do I need a replacement motor?

93 Accord. Thx

Just me but most of the time this is either "slop" in the bushings in the wiper trans or the fact that the wipers arms are not seated all the way to the "pivots".....again just my opinion.
