I know not all of them are bad per sae but the problem is as the main filter restricts more and more (as transmission ages) 2nd gear gets starved and that is what causes the failure. It is a design flaw and it is more and more likely that the until will fail as the milage increases compared to the previous design.

 

I have that problem.. first two times I got it fixed was because of the shift sensor.. now just recently; it was because of the shift solenoid? I dont know. I just know I had to get it fixed 3 times and it currently has its Check Engine light on. Could there be anything else wrong?

 

i heard that the 02 models are less likely to have tranny problems than the 98-01 models

 

yeah thats true but the only year that really has problems are 00-01 models

 

What about the 97 accord V6 , was that a better design than the 00-01 models? Cause the only thing that really happens wit my tranny is that the gear shifts are a lil delayed when its cold. cause its like 20 degrees here

 

i havent really heard much about the 97 having problems though. when was the last time you changed the tranny oil?

 

i help out working at a honda repair shop on the side with some friends... and i must say that kevin is right abput the 00-01 model year accords... not just the v6 but also the i4 tranny's have problems... and you cant find a good rebuilt one or even a good used one because they have so many problems... it's like find a quarter with a mark on it on a property with thousands of quarters on it... they all look ok but till you crack them open you dont know if it is any good...

ive even heard of a few of the new ones being bad... but much fewer than the 00-01 model years... as for changeing the tranny thats easy... but getting a good part is hard and time consuming...

 

my brother has a v6 1998 accord. The engine is in tip top shape just like when we bought it at 40,000 miles it has 130,000 now and eingine is just fantastic. But the tranny is another story. It slips and flares alot but still works. So from experice i would say great engine bad tranny.

 

are we talking bout the manual or auto tranny? i have a 98 Accord with 105,000 miles with a auto tranny. are there more problems with manual or auto and what should i keep my eyes on for possilbe problems?? what can i do to prevent my tranny from crashing?? thanks!

 

the issue theyre talking about is auto trannies. .theres nothing you can do. .its gonna DIE! lol thats why i dislike auto trannies in any vehicle. .they are much more unreliable than manual transmissions. .i like to have control of my vehicle. .I decide when to shift! lol
