Accord EX 2.2L Vtec

  • Automatic transmission

The transmission just stopped shifting out of 1st gear. I took it to the dealer and I was told that they would replace it with a rebuilt transmission at N/C, under the extended emissions warranty.

Accord V4

I just had the engine worked on for over-heating a week before. Transmission completely failed within that next week. Had it replaced with a used tranny and NOW (a few months later) it's leaking between tranny and engine block.

Last winter the transmission slipped once and then magically disappeared, this winter it slipped really bad and I barely made it home, then in the morning it wouldn't catch at all.

Accord LX 2.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 156,000 miles

Transmission failure on 1996 accord at 156,000. Transmission completed died. Honda does not know how to make a transmission that last. Opted to get a used transmission because the car is already 10 years old.

Accord EX

  • 132,000 miles

It's now 2006, I wanted to update my last rant on the 96 Accord EX transmission.

The transmission finally went out completely right after my previous complaint was made (transmission slips when cold). I limped it enough to the dealership; opted for a NEW transmission at $2200. My other options were old-rebuilt $1800 or old-not rebuilt $1200.

So far, I think I have made the right decision, although it cost me a lot more. Now that I'm over paying the credit card off, I've finally cooled off enough to say... yes, I still love the darn thing! It fits.
