I have a 2001 accord 4 cyl. leaking transmission fluid on the pax side drive axle. Took the car to a transmission shop and they were unable to get either axle out of the transmission. I was told it would be about 1800.00 to have the transmission opened up to see what the problem is. Talked to Honda dealership and was told the transmission just went out of warranty in Oct. Am i dealing with the same problem as everyone else and is there a fix for it, or should i drive it until it dies.
Thanks for your time Jon Coon

Had transmission differential rebuilt on July 2007 paid 1,277.00. Done by Cottman Transmission. I had to take it back because a big clunk when put in reverse after the worked on the car. They replace the reverse selector shaft. Didn't do any good. So I have to live with it. They say it is normal. On August 2007 Dealer Bianchi Honda of Erie, Pa put a new rebuilt one because they found the transmission was shifting not normal and the clunk noise when put in reverse. On September 2007 Transmission leak through the passenger side axle shaft. I remove the Shaft to replace the seal and found out what you see on the pictures that I up load. The transmission the dealer put a month ago at that time show metal shavings melted and welded to the inner cv joint inside the transmission. I took the car (and the bad axle shaft) to the dealer they found nothing wrong. After I replace the axle shaft because I couldn't put the other one back into the transmission, it was so bad It didn't go back into the transmission. I replace the axle because that wasn't a transmission part, it was a drive train part. I also replace the axle seal because it was leaking fluid bad. I took it to the dealer and found (like always) nothing wrong. I been driving the car to shorts drives because I am afraid is going to give up any time. I can feel the grinding on the gas pedal as it goes down the road. And now start to leak transmission fluid again at the same seal. Something is wrong inside this transmission and now is leaking badddddd. I will call the dealer tomorrow, but I have to be prepare because I know what they are going to say. It is out of warranty. The transmission the dealer put the didn't charge me for it because it was under warranty at 108,000 miles now is 115, 000 so I know what they have to say. This is my first Honda car and my last one.

I am currently fighting with Honda to fix my transmission that went out under 60,000 miles. I am too tired to go into it all now but my story basically sounds like all the rest. What I am looking for is some information on my legal rights. Any lawyers familiar with Honda transmission suits and willing to hear me, please contact me. Any pissed off Honda customers who feel they have been shafted by Honda and who know where to start a class action or who have already started one, please contact me... I will definitely join or help to start it up. We all need to stand up to the injustice and it has to start somewhere. Let's get the ball rolling. Thanks for your time.
