#1749 of 1936 Accord SE 2000 - Fix or ditch (transmission) by alicebettyanna Jun 28, 2009 (12:24 pm)
My 2000 SE Accord has been great. It has close to 84,000 miles and since 2005, it get less than 5k a year on it. Usually just driven around town, occasionally short high way trips. Unfortunately, this weekend the transmission seems to be shot in the lower gears. It revs, but skips. Taking it in tomorrow. I am really bummed and wondering weather to fix it or buy another car. Other than crappy tran, it is in fantastic condition and very well maintained. I have records & may contact Honda. Do you think a transmission is worth fixing?

Replying to: alicebettyanna (Jun 28, 2009 12:24 pm) Anna...I have a 2000 V6 Accord with approximately 88,000 miles. My car also is in fantastic condition and has been very well maintained. Fortunately, I have not had transmission problems but if I would, I would get the transmission fixed. Because my car is in excellent condition, I feel that is reason enough to have the transmission repaired. If the car had other major problems, then my decision would probably be different. Let me know what you decide. If you decide to get it fixed, I would like to know the price you paid......this would give me an idea of what I might can expect in the future.

Replying to: snuke (Jun 28, 2009 3:10 pm) I tend to agree. In order to sell the car and get anything for it, you'll need the transmission repaired anyway. I'd try and find a decent price for repair, and consider my options (keep, sell, etc) once I've paid off the transmission fix.

#1754 of 1936 Re: Engine just Dies without warning: [sl156] by awt1 Jun 29, 2009 (10:13 am)
Replying to: sl156 (Jun 05, 2009 7:13 pm) I have a 1999 Honda Accord with 66k miles and both the recall problem were fixed and now the symptoms have reappeared and Honda regional office said that car is not under the warranty and there are no recalls on the ignition switch even though the symptoms are exactly the same as before when they had to replace ignition switch in 2002-2005 period. Local Honda dealer wants $500 to replace the ignition switch and recode and swears that this not part of the previous recalls that had something to do with being able to pull the key out while the car was running and was not interested about the 2nd recall. I have already filed a complain with the Highway Safety and suggest everyone should do the same even if they have the problem fixed by paying from their own pocket.

Replying to: snuke (Jun 28, 2009 3:10 pm) Thanks for replying. Unfortunatley, it is the transmission, althought it drove perfectly today. The cost for used is $1,000 - $1,500, a new one is about a thousand more. I guess I am thinking it's about 5 new car payments. I am going to complain to Honda though. You never know, or wishful thinking.......   The odd thing is it just happened, no warning at all.

#1756 of 1936 PCM Replacement by greatlakesjr Jun 29, 2009 (11:47 am)
'98 Accord 4 cyl. I have had a Check Engine light on for awhile as well as some problems with stalling (not often). The acceleration has been shaky from a standstill as well, it hesitates. The diagnosis was that it needs a new PCM. Quote was $1,000 parts and labor. Reasonable? Thanks.

Replying to: alicebettyanna (Jun 29, 2009 10:42 am) For the record, I don't intend this to sound like I'm patronizing you, because I'm not...   At 84,000 miles, the transmission should have been serviced at least once, preferably twice. If you have had this done, take those records (if you have them, if not, ask for them to look up when it was serviced) with you when asking for repair. Make sure everyone in that dealership knows you did have the car serviced, you'll have a better chance at getting some "help" towards the cost of your transmission if you can prove you were proactive at maintaining it.   Keep us posted, I'm eager to know how it turns out!   TheGrad Replies to this message: alicebettyanna (Jun 29, 2009 4:47 pm) thegraduate (Jun 29, 2009 7:10 pm) blufz1 (Jun 29, 2009 8:39 pm) alicebettyanna (Jul 03, 2009 11:54 am)
