Default Are all these transmissions bad?

Hello, i was looking into purchasing a 2002 honda accord coupe ex 3.0. - Current mileage (150k)

I wanted to know if all the transmissions around this year are bad or is it only some?

The transmission in the vehicle is shifting just fine, no signs of slipping or failure but would hate to buy it just to find out that it'll fail on me in the near future.

Thank you.

Not ALL of the transmissions were bad, but some suffered some issues.
If the original transmission has lasted up to 100Kmiles with no issues or replacement then it is most likely fine.
V6 transmissions usually died ~30Kmiles and the I4 would last a bit longer. The later the model year the more likely you will not have issues.
