So I bought some time. Google for the maintenance manual for the car. Make sure you check the fluid to see if it's still normal. The models covered were the 2000—1 Accord; 1999—2001 Odyssey; 2000—1 Prelude; 1999—2 Acura 3. At 60kph this puts the engine speed at around 2000rpm, and no vibrations whatsoever! I disagreed — felt like it was in drive train.
Duel cam timing belt should be replaced every 90K miles with the water pump. Lot of cargo space and leg room. The transportation services here register all of the information regarding the periodic inspections for the whole life span of the car so they have all the mileage including the non conformities registered in every year the vehicle makes an inspection. Honda later expanded the recall to include nearly 1. These transmissions will last a long time if you service them properly.
I replaced the torque converter last month at 103,000km. I have already applied for this information I´m just waiting to receive it Hope it's a low mileage. They said they opened up the transmission? The burned look and smell of the transmission oil stopped immediately, and the transmission shifts so much better 2 years, ~40K miles so far without a change with clean dipstick coming up every time. Unless you like a car that shakes at 28 or 41 miles an hr. The problem lasted for years, but if I was going to have to change out the transmission, I decided to wait until it quit completely.
Is Honda Doing Anything to Fix the Problem? Does any one has an idea how much the dealers charge and if they give you any discounts? This didn't allow the water to escape. This type of service can be likened to taking a few ounces of dirty water from a full glass of dirty water and then refilling with a few ounces of clean… in the end you still have a dirty glass of water! We took it to Gifu last summer, driving though very wiggly mountain roads. But only every once in a while. I'm not sure about automatic transmissions. However, it is long paid off, so little point in buying a new one though Honda always hopes! Any repair to an automatic transmission can be complicated and expensive.
This is not the first time that I have experienced this. Or you can stay with honda and pay less upfront and less to fix it. So if you do use aftermarket timing belt, it won't survive next 90K miles. Started getting shudder at cruising speed of about 50-60 k after about 50,000 km running. The lease ends May 2011.
I always thought it was weird that Honda recommends a transmission oil change so soon as compared to other car makers. Complained with the dealer couple of times, finally the dealer acknowledged that there is a problem and identified it as issue with the torque converter. Model year 1996 Year of manufacture 1996 First year of ownership 1996 Most recent year of ownership 2012 Engine and transmission 2. Now I notice the r. My Honda is garaged out under the stars.
This is one of the most common complaints on , which was by the New York Times regarding these failing transmissions. Hate to say Hondas are not what they were. Needless to say, we were pleased they identified the problem and corrected it early while under warranty. But will buy studless tyres next season as they will clearly make a big difference, judging by the local cars in the mountains. After I moved to another city, I asked the servicemen at the dealership here to check it out.
From this they determined it was the Torque Converter and replaced it. I promise, this will be money well spent. Total cost about 2,200 dollars, but that also included a major service and mechanical checkup, the next two year's maintenance every 6 months , and two year's compulsory insurance. Transmission squeels under load in 2nd gear. I assumed it was due to uneven tread wear as was explained to me by a mechanic friend. They told me that Honda did not allow them to open up the transmission to find the exact problem.
