Take the car to a Honda dealer and get a second opinion.

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.

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.....

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.

1998 Accord Speed Sensor by dea8805

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!!!

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. Good luck Link below

Accord Transmissions by accordtrans

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.

Thanks blane - you can see that I moved the post to the discussion you suggested.
 
By the way, be sure to remove any numbers after the final slash when linking to a discussion unless your intent is to link to a specific post. If there is no number after that last slash the last page of the discussion will be displayed. If a number exists, a specific post is linked. That makes it a little harder for a newbie to see what to do next.
