It feels as though the car is having trouble shifting aroung 2000 rpms or approx 45 mph. It doesnt do it all the time only when slowly accelerating. Does anyone have any tips or possibly might have experienced the same thing?? Thanks Clay

 

Try changing you trans fluid - drain and refill - do NOT let a shop "flush" it.
If that doesn't help, I hate to tell you, the 98-02 models have been known for weak and problematic transmissions.Honda replaced a lot of them under an extended warranty. I fear that the 98 models are now out of warranty range though

 

many thnaks for the reply

 

Is it a V6 Automatic?

 

I believe it was extended to 9 years 109,000 miles. www.hondatransmissionsettlement.com has all the details

 

ya, I have a 2000 v6that has this problem and when I went in they were not willing to help me because I have 113k miles.... so now I'm pretty much stuck. so if your still under 109k GO IN!

anyways, good luck man!

 

I don't know about those figures because when I took my dad's 01 in they said the extended warranty was 7 yrs/100k miles.

 

let me get this right ........you had 113 k and dealer did not want to help ??
get on the phone with HOA ( honda of america )ASAP .. STATE YOUR COMPLAINT .. I cannot believe that they woud not help and car was only 4k over warranty ??? Absyrd .. Honda has been having a lot of issues with those pieces of crap trannies , ask to speak to the district maneger ,
i sent 2 of my customers to Honda Dedaler with tranny problems after the warranty ,and Honda helped them , 1 they did the job at no charge, the other had a lot more miles , cust had to pay for labor only

make that call
