Trouble With My 99 Honda Accord And Mechanic

How do I fix my Honda Accord transmission problems?

When it comes to Honda automatic transmissions, when problems occur, replacement is a must. Transmission failure is common in years between 98–2003 in many models.

If you love driving Hondas, I suggest learning to drive a stick as that is where the company seems to excell.I have replaced 3 honda transmission. One in my 95 accord, 00 civic, and my brother's 98 accord V6.Vehicles with the V6 or the newer K-Series engines with automatics are succeptible to failure due to the greater amount of horsepower applied compared to the older 4 cylinder models.CarComplaints.com is evidence alone of the problem. Honda eventually provided warranties and rebuilds but the problem persisted. The company still fails to acknowledge that there is an issue.If you have an older Honda, go on Craigslist and find one for a decent price and pay someone to put it in or do it yourself if you have metric tools, a jack, and jackstands. (Honda Service Manuals are online, look on the Honda Tech forums) Have a friend help you and drop the transmission from under the car after unbolting and disconnecting all clips and fluid lines. Dont forget the shift cable as well. You may need to loosen some things at the shifter assembly portion inside your car if confident enough that you can put everything back properly. Take out bolts holding transmission to engine while jack is under it. After it is free from engine lower it and pull away. Reverse to installIf you have a newer Honda, you go to the dealership if you are under warranty and inform them of the problem. If not, try to find another transmission online that is not too expensive and pay a shop to install. Newer vehicles have more sensors than older models and require higher levels of expertise.
