I had 75k mi service done to my 03 Accord EXL-V4 at the dealer including a transmission fluid change and was told the trans. is leaking fluid and needs a new Torque Converter Seal. I have not noticed any fluid in my garage and have not had any recurrent shifting problems. They advised that the fluid was blown back all over the transmission so finding the leak was difficult and that was the explanation as to why I haven't seen any evidence of a leak. The dealer wants over $700 to replace the seal. The seal is only about $15, but it's an all day job. I found a Tech. Svc. Bulletin about this problem but no evidence of a recall. This repair seems quite significant for a Honda with 76k mi. What are your thoughts? Given the problems with the V6 transmissions and the TSB, do you think Honda will supplement the cost of this repair?

Looking at the Honda TSB (08-020 04/12/2008) currently atop my desk, we see: ".....OUT OF WARRANTY: any repair performed after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office........" You have a real point (given the history here). It's a start............ best, ez.... |

Replying to: srizvi1 (Sep 14, 2008 1:07 pm) Back when I first posted, pastatie suggested Mastercraft. I just went to their website (mastercrafttires.com) and saw that I would be needing 4 of the Avenger Touring LSR (V/H-Rated) 205/60R16 92 V. I gave the closest mastercraft dealer (Gillette Tire Distributors Inc, Glen Burnie, MD, (410)766-2190) a call and he said that it would cost (w/ tax) $400.75 for four of the "T-rated" ones, but he would order the proper V/H ones I need and give them to me for the same price (normally, they are $4-5 more a tire). However, since then it seems there has been some other suggestions on tires from others. Looking through these recent posts in this thread, this is a summary of what my options are: Primacy MXV4 (215/50-17s) - $800ish/175.99 per tire (good for tire noise) Toyo Versado LX (used in an '05 EX 4 - I assume ok in w/ my car) - $150 a tire Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid tires (used in '03 LX Coupe - assume ok w/ my car) - $100 each (better w/ light snow and cornering than republic ensigns) Yokohama Avid H4s (used w/ 2005 4 cyl. EX, assume ok w/ my car) Bridgestone Serenity - smooth as OEM MIchelin, better wet traction, but heavier Whatever tires I go with, I would get them all mounted at walmart because it would only cost me $7.50 + $3.50 (<-- this one's the actual mounting fee) a tire to have lifetime balance and rotation. I think if there's no specials or deals (when I first bought my G009s, there was a Bridgestone rebate going on and I got price matches done which made the final price relatively low), I'll go with the mastercraft tires. But if there's something good out there, maybe I can get something else. Thoughts?

Replying to: srizvi1 (May 18, 2009 10:55 am) Mastercraft sounds like more of a house brand tire. Michelin, Bridgestone, and Goodyear are kind of the tier 1 manufacturers. Hankook, Khumo, BFG, and maybe Cooper are tier 2, and then there are tier 3 and house brands. Futura is Pep Boys house brand for example (although its made by someone else for them). You might want to check out tirerack.com and see the ratings they provide on various tires. The can drop ship them to your house or the installer as well. |

Nothing really happened. The power windows just won't work. The Driver's window works fine. The other three just click and do nothing, they will not work from the driver door or the actual door. If i put the window lock on, I hear no click. With the lock off, i hear the click but no movement. no motor sound or anything, just a click. they were working fine an hour before, when I got back in the car, this started. No noises or anything....is there a code or something that I might have triggered on accident? I can't see all 3 going out simultaneously. When I use the remote to roll the windows down, only the driver window goes down. |
