#900 of 1936 What the heck? by channel121 Jun 22, 2007 (6:19 pm)
In addition to the struts leaking, the mechanic neglected to tell me on the phone that my "cam and crank seals are leaking with drive belts replaced (Est. $542)." I saw that on the receipt just now. Ok, if I just had those replaced last week while getting a timing belt why in the world would they be leaking now? And wouldn't this be HIS problem to fix? I am starting to get really down since this 2000 Accord is running me $2000 in repairs this year. I never spent so much (or am being told to spend so much) $$$ for my civic and it was 10 years old.

Replying to: channel121 (Jun 22, 2007 6:19 pm) Finding a good mechanic is hard enough, but you also have to find an honest mechanic. If you know little or nothing about cars, you are at the mercy of whatever the guy tells you. I can make simple repairs myself, and a friend's father is a mechanic, so I'm lucky in that regard. If you don't know a good mechanic, I think the best bet is the dealership. The dealership will overcharge you, but at least you have a good chance of getting it fixed right. Some other shops will overcharge you, and still not fix the car.
#903 of 1936 Dealership here I come.... by channel121 Jun 22, 2007 (9:23 pm)
You got it! I was thinking just that. The dealership I took it to for warranty work tried to pad the bill(but only $40 more, not 1K) before but it's worth a try. Thanks for the feedback. I am getting the jist that maybe this guy isn't above board. Darn, in business over 50 years...oh well.   So I am right in saying that the cam seals and crank seals are ONE thing on the car; that once they are replaced there are no OTHER cam or crank seals to replace? Have you ever even heard of the struts leaking at 91K? I noticed that since these probs were not noted on this site that it perhaps was not prevalent.....
#904 of 1936 dent fix by srx2870 Jun 24, 2007 (10:53 am)

Replying to: srx2870 (Jun 24, 2007 10:53 am) I would check out one of those paint-less dent removal places. They use special tools to push the dent out from the back side. It may cost you a good bit (depends on how hard the dent is to get to), but there is no paint matching to worry about, which is never perfect.
#906 of 1936 1998 Accord Speed Sensor by dea8805 Jun 25, 2007 (9:38 am)
I have a 1998 Accord LX 4Cyl 4dr 5 speed manual. The Check engine light is on and the speedometer and cruise control do not work. Took it to the local auto shop and the code says its the speed sensor. Can someone tell me where its located (someplace on the transmission is what I was told) and how to replace it?   Thank you!!!

Replying to: dea8805 (Jun 25, 2007 9:38 am) If this link does not go straight to the VSS part, just click on VSS on the left. Your 98 Accord may not be exactly like this, but I assume it's pretty close.

#908 of 1936 Accord Transmissions by accordtrans Jun 26, 2007 (4:06 pm)
I have a 2001 Accord, 4 cyl. with a 5 speed. With the clutch pedal depressed, there is no noise. When the pedal is released, even in neutral, there is a very loud roaring noise that increases with engine RPM. What could this be? Also, when the clutch pedal is depressed, is the throwout bearing turning, or is it turning when the pedal is released? Or both? Please respond. Thank you for your time.
