RE: 2003 Accord V6 Issues
 

Had any of you changed your ATF frequently? I'm chaging mine soon at 30k miles. In my haynes manual it says if temps excede 90f frequently and/or heavy city driving it should be changed every 30k. It says normaly to change the ATF 90k miles, but thats a long time for me.

i have a 03 v6 and my ca also went searching for 3rd gear i replaced the 2nd gear shift solenoids a and b and it was back to normal i just did it yesterday 4/29/'13 is it a perm. fix well i am not sure as its just been repaired and this is not the first time the car had this same issue i did a factory recall search and found it had been serviced for this same issue somewhere in cale when and where they couldnt tell me but it has happend before

this is my first and last honda im going back to Toyota after i sell this one

So you have a ten year old used car with some issues and you're using that to justify switching brands? I don't understand.
