#1767 of 1936 Re: Accord SE 2000 - Fix or ditch (transmission) [alicebettyanna] by snuke Jul 02, 2009 (6:33 am)
Replying to: alicebettyanna (Jun 29, 2009 10:42 am) WOW.....I had no idea a transmission could be so expensive, especially a used one. I now understand your dilemma. That would be a difficult one for me because I love the shape of the new Accords. The interior of my 9-year old Accord looks so ancient compared to the newer Accords. But, I love not having a car note especially since I am retired and living on a fixed income. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 02, 2009 7:18 am)

Replying to: alicebettyanna (Jun 29, 2009 10:42 am) The reason I asked re the Transmission fluid, is that sometimes a drain and refill with Honda ATF will stop any slipping that is experienced.

Replying to: alicebettyanna (Jun 29, 2009 4:47 pm) Strange turn of events: Got a quote on a used, no warranty trans, and one from Honda, rebuilt, 3 year warranty. Honda offered a good will of 25% of the bill, we would cough up $2,500. However, for whatever reason, the car seems to have fixed itself and the trans is fine! A mechanic (who quoted us the used) AND the Honda dealer (who replace w/the rebuilt) can no longer find any fault. I'm not complaining, but I am puzzled. We had the transmission changed, they said it was dark, but not overly so. Hmm, is this a warning? Anyway, for now we continue to drive.   We looked at new Honda CRV, Honda, and Nissan Altima just in case,   So, if your trans goes, don't hesitate to contact Honda and ask for good will
#1771 of 1936 1998 Accord EX 4 cyl dying by abqjfc Jul 14, 2009 (6:20 pm)
My 1998 Honda Accord EX has taken to dying driving down the road and/or not starting until after a few tries.   When starting the car, the engine turns over but immediately dies. The car "sees" the key and the indicator goes off, but, no dice.   Turning off the ignition and starting the process again seems to get the car started.   Not sure if it is related to steering wheel position.   More often when it's warm or hot, but still random.   Any thoughts?

Replying to: abqjfc (Jul 14, 2009 6:20 pm) I'm guessing it's the electrical part of the ignition switch. If you start the car, but don't let the key go all the way back to II position will it keep running? That points to the ignition switch. There may have been a recall on the switch for your car. I would check that out first. You may get it fixed free of charge, if there was a recall.

Replying to: mentiya (Nov 15, 2008 6:48 pm) What happened to your car?   I have a 1999 Accord, was told and shown that the upper control arms/ball joints are loosen, I saw it was not more than 1/2 (up and down). hope to learn from your experience. Thanks!

#1775 of 1936 Oil in Radiator - 1999 Accord LX by aztraz Jul 23, 2009 (2:24 pm)
For the past 2 months I've been having a problem with oil in the radiator. It all started when I got small punctures in two radiator hoses and the car ran hot really badly. I've replaced all the hoses, even the top and bottom ones. Now it's just a matter of replacing the head and/or gasket I suppose.   My main question is this: What are the odds replacing the head and gasket will do the job? How likely is it I have a cracked block instead? I've seen other forums where other people have had the same problem, and 9 times out of 10 it's a bad head and gasket, but it's that 1 scenario where it's a cracked block that worries me. Is it worth it try to replace the head and gasket and hope for the best, or am I taking to big of a risk on the off chance my engine's block is damaged?   Specs: 99 Accord LX, 4 cyl, 2.3L, ULEV V-TECH, auto trans.   Thank you in advance for any advice.
