Ok regrading my 2000 Honda Accord EX 4 cyl. My tranny is on its death bed (P0700) and (P740) after the check engine light came on. The car slips when it goes from gear to gear (I had 2 tranny shops tell me this and the dealer). I need an opinion from you guys. So Honda America told me that they would pay for a re-manufactured auto transmission and a torque converter clutch with a 3 year/36K mile warranty on the power train for $1650 after taxes. My friend says just trade in the car for a brand new Kia (Great warranty and prices) or a Mazda (Great prices). I bought the vehicle in 12/07 with around 47K miles for $8,800, the car now has 56K miles. I had to replace the ECU ($900) spring this year, the transmission fluid ($65 special) in late spring this year, I needed new tires ($280), new brakes and brake discs ($280). The timing belt was replaced (at least it says so on the car fax at 40K miles). It might need a tune up. I can get a brand new car for around $11-$18K + tax, my insurance would only go up from like $380 to $850 a period. Is there anything else that can go wrong with this car? Should I just trade it in or sell it and use the $1650 towards a new car? I really don't wanna spend $1650 and then a year down the road something not related to the powertrain goes bad? What are your thoughts?

 

part it out.... you would probably make more on it.
Contact me if you do, krls23@optonline.net, is it a coupe?
I have an 02 coupe and would be interested in some parts, good luck

 

I wouldn't keep it. 50% chance the reman trans will go out on you too (right after the warranty period of course.) Normally the trans problems happen later. I'm surprised yours happened at 56k.
I would trade it in.

 

IMO you have 2 options.
first: don't fix it, just sell it like it is (or just a trade in)
second: fix it. then sell it asap. might get more $$$ than just selling it as it is...

good luck to you

 

as to your transmission slip what kind of fuild did they install? alot of places just put mercon in it.when it does call fora special fluid someone installed mercon in mine and it started to slip i flushed it pout and installed some gastrol import atf in ti and it stoped slipping
