Replying to: apappaslaw (Oct 24, 2009 5:53 pm) Thats a great run, getting 200K. I personally would probably move on before putting much money into it. I found a 2001 Accord 5 speed manual 4 cylinder with 53,000 miles, 1 owner, for 6K. Am loving the car for commuting, getting 33 MPG highway. I plan on piling the miles on this baby.
#1916 of 1936 Transmission Replacement Accord EX 2002 by anri Oct 28, 2009 (10:44 pm)
Hi,   My mechanic tells me that transmission fluid is leaking from my car and that there is a crack in the case. The transmission will have to be replaced and it will cost $1700. I have a few questions:   1. Since I already have 126K miles on the car. Is it even worth to spend that much money on transmission replacement. Cant I just keep refilling the fluid as it gets low?   2. If I do get it replaced. Is $1700 a reasonable price? What warranty I should get along woth that?   3. What price I might get if I trade in my vehicle as is? (I spent $1650 on the car last year for the 105K miles sevice)   Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
#1917 of 1936 Scraping noise by bassmark Nov 05, 2009 (3:13 pm)
Hi. Our 2006 Honda Accord (V-Tech six cylinder) has started making a metallic scraping noise when driving as if a metal strip were dangling from underneath the car. It occurs randomly, but seems more prevalant when curving right.   After looking under the car and finding nothing, I thought about the brakes at first, but it occurs while cruising as well. Speed is not a factor and we actually hear it better moving slowly through residential areas. Sure would appreciate some input on this.   Thanks, bassmark2000yahoo.com Replies to this message: mrbill1957 (Nov 05, 2009 3:21 pm) thegraduate (Nov 05, 2009 8:40 pm)

Replying to: bassmark (Nov 05, 2009 3:13 pm) Was one of the tires recently removed and replaced?   It's common when removing a tire to lower it before it fully clears the thin metal shield behind the rotor. They can be easily bent and will rub the rotor. When you make your right turn, the rotor tilts ever so slightly and makes contact to shield.   Mrbill

Replying to: bassmark (Nov 05, 2009 3:13 pm) When brake pads are worn out, they make a metallic scraping/screeching sound when the brakes are not being applied. Check the pads.

Replying to: morphius909 (Oct 18, 2009 10:08 am) You can replace the light behind the odometer. It's just like the light that burns out for the clock. Buy the light and follow the instructions on the forum below:   http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f13/odometer-lights-327164/

Replying to: obi3ice (Nov 07, 2009 10:19 pm) No free lunch there, unless someone here would volunteer to do this for you on their account, which THEY pay for. It's actually pretty cheap to do this. Sometimes the dealer or seller will do this for you if you ask.

Replying to: nailn10 (Nov 09, 2009 8:05 pm) Well that was a BAD GUESS wasn't it?   Someone needs to read the trouble codes first off, then do the basics of cleaning the MAF sensor, throttle body, checking the EGR, checking for vacuum leaks, and of course the obligatory tune up. Also switching gasoline and using some fuel injector cleaner is not a bad idea. Replies to this message: nailn10 (Nov 10, 2009 10:21 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 11, 2009 7:35 am)
