Re: 2002 Honda Accord Transmission Compatibility [atosj153]
It LOOKS like 2001 and 2002. Try going to www.car-part.com and put in the year, make, and model, and part you're searching for (transmission) then choose to search ALL US. You don't need ZIP or anything. When you see the list of available parts, you'll only get a list of items that work for your vehicle.

4.5 K to spend but need a car quick- please help with ideas
Hi there. I'm new here and haven't owned a car for 11 years so I'm *really* out of the loop. My small family (myself, husband, and toddler) need to buy a used car in about ten days. We only have about $4500 total (tax and fees, etc) to spend. We don't need much. Good gas millage, good reliability, and four doors is all we need. I thought we needed something like ... Read More

Re: 2008 Accord EX - I4 Sedan - 21.7k + TTL [arnoldchang]
Only one dealer was willing to accept my 18.5k offer on 07 Accord SE V6. The lowest any other dealer got was 19.2k. Add TTL(10%) to ~19k = 20.9k. So 21k OTD is a very decent deal (will be really hard to go lower but I dont really think much about $100-200 when buying a $20k item - thats why I let my dad pay $200 more since he was happy) ...

Re: Reliability of Honda Accord after 120K miles usage [healtha29]
I have a 2001 Accord coupe with M/T and 4 cyl. I am very satisfied with this car but I have read many reports of '98-01's with Automatic Transmissions having problems. So much so that Honda increased the warranties on them. Other than that I know of no other issues. I would have preferred a v6 but they were not offered with a stick shift at that time. Good luck!

Aftermarket keyless entry

The second one however, doesn't. The green LED on it doesn't light up unless you press "AUX" unlike the remote that works, where any button press lights up the green LED. Here's a picture of what ...

Re: 2001 Accord oil burns [brig7]

Re: 2001 Honda Accord LX 2dr Coupe - Maintenance [jeanetteb]

If it were me, I'd talk to a friend or three, maybe some coworkers, or a relative, find out from them what mechanic they may have used, and is reputable. Then call those mechanics, see how much they'll charge to do those changes. An example; my dealer wanted $850 ... Read More

Re: 2001 Honda Accord LX 2dr Coupe - Maintenance [thegraduate]
Thanks for the info...I live in AZ and the dealership is doing the transmission, brake and power steering flush for $299, changing the oil for $30 and doing a coolant flush for $70...so all for around $400 and incl a tire rotation. Does this seem reasonable?

Re: 2001 Honda Accord LX 2dr Coupe - Maintenance [jeanetteb]
While I've never changed the power steering fluid in the 15 years my car has been in existence, the other three should be changed, as jodar says. Especially the brake fluid; it will absorb water over time, whether or not it has many miles of use on it. Water will break down the seals and eventually cause a master-cylinder failure (a $300-$400 repair). I'd change them in order of brake, trans, ... Read More

Re: 2001 Honda Accord LX 2dr Coupe - Maintenance [jeanetteb]
Believe it or not...They are right. Those mentioned fluids age and loose their property after 2-3 years. Leaving them in your car will BREAK your car. Exceptionally low mile car like yours with no fluid flush in 9 years is more likley to fail than a similar car with 80K miles with good maintenance record. Find a decent independent garage to do the work rather than going to the dealer. Joe ... Read More

Re: Accord vs. 2011 Sonata [benjaminh]
Have you driven the Fusion? Personally I prefer its blend of ride and handling over the Accord. I think the current-gen Accord has lost some of its handling crispness from past generations, albeit is smoother without the "feel every pebble" ride from pre-2008. But the Fusion is smoother still yet with sharp handling, at least as good as the current Accord's IMO. As for manual transmissions... we'll have to see if ... Read More

Re: Accord v-6 tranny 2006 [thegraduate]
I'm not surprised that you've not had any trannie problems. It was in the years 1999 through and including 2001 that Honda trannie problems surfaced. The reason given by a Honda dealer is that Honda farmed out the transmission manufacturing to a Japanese vendor during the years mentioned above. As a result of poor quality, Honda returned to in-house manufacturing. Hence the transmission recalls.

Re: Honda Timing Belt Replacement Advice [zendao]

Re: 2001 Honda Accord Coupe V6 transmission wobble? [johno1826]

I had a new torque converter put in at 90,000. The car accelerates great and the wobble does feel like a tire balance problem. Could this be a transmission issue?

Re: 2009 honda accord vs 2009 nissan maxima [iwantone]
I think that both cars are good contenders this time around, but if you have been a Honda driver, then moving to another brand might cause you to regret doing so. Getting the Max would not be a bad choice on the first redesign, but might have a few bugs needing worked out, but I wouldn't be worried. Drive them both on a decent test drive, seriously consider how it feels ... Read More

2009 honda accord vs 2009 nissan maxima
I am considering the 2009 honda accord sedan v6 but I have been reading up on the new 2009 nissan maxima. The 2009 maxima SV is a little pricey even without all the options. I was thinking about the 2009 maxima S base but it comes with cloth. I have been a honda driver for years and I am a little caution about nissan. Could anyone help me the pros and ... Read More

First road trip in 2008 Accord EX Auto
We just took our 2008 Accord on a 1080 mile trip. I am the one that has been complaining about the seat back bulge. It is way too annoying to live with. With power seat adjustment, I found one spot that made it somehow tolarable. One flat roads, the Accord did fine. In hilly roads, the auto transmission had heck of time figuring out what it wanted to do. It down ... Read More

Re: I Love VCM!!! [aviboy97]
My fathers 04 V6 EX-L had it's tranny replaced recently. Yes, I know, V6. but, it's apparent that the tranny issues continued past 2003. It's pretty well known (on the Accord boards, anyway, thanks to elroy) that the transmission problems for Gen VII were on 2003 and early-build 2004 V6 models, so hearing a 2004 once in awhile doesn't surprise me. A friend of mine from high school (and now college) ... Read More

VCM test drive
I took a test drive in a new 2008 V6 Accord. Planned on purchasing one to replace my 2001 Accord coupe which has given great service with little or no repair expense, good performance. We also have a 2006 Accord. I drove the car on city streets, no VCM problem noticed. During acceleration on the highway, no problem. Cruising on the highway at any speed produced a sensation every 15-20 seconds ... Read More

2001 honda accord morning hard shift
I just bought a 2001 honda accord ex and the first time you drive it each day it hard shifts from 1st to 2nd. After about 5 minutes its fine and wont do it again until the next day. Is this a transmission issue or maybe it needs the fluid flushed? It has 132k on it. It dirve smooth after the initial 5 minutes. Any thoughts?

Re: VCM coming to the $70K 2010 Acura RL [thegraduate]
I would beg to differ. If that was the case then the Accord Hybrid would still be around. They don't sell and this is Honda's way is sneaking it in the back door. I could see a BIG SUV or the Mini-Van with this type of VCM technology (I still don't agree with it) because I generally don't see those as "performance or racing type vehicles". I would have to research ... Read More

Re: 2008 Accord V6 Tranny issue [sunnfun]
Any automatic I have driven, from a 3.8L 2001 Mustang to a Lexus GX470 or an Audi 1.8 Cabriolet (8 miles on it, it had the CVT) have drifted back if on an incline. All my Hondas have as well including my 1996 with 180k miles (which I drove today in fact). No transmission problems. This has nothing to do with a transmission problem.

Re: frequency of Servicing 2007 honda accord [tallman1]
I switched to synthetic (Castrol Syntec Full synthetic) at about 20,000 miles in my 2001 Dakota pickup. Mileage went from about 18 to 19mpg. The truck gets driven very little and is on an annual oil change cycle. I feel comfortable letting it go 5,000 miles and twelve months with synthetic. I'll change over to synthetic in my '06 Accord EX-L 4 cyl once it gets to 15,000 miles. Many mechanics ... Read More

Re: Sonata vents... [niceguy1234]
Sitting in the Camry and Accord back-to-back at the car show, I have to totally agree with you with regard to the Accord's dashboard vs. the Camry's. The Accord's dash is both busy and ugly, the Camry's is much better. All of those black buttons in the center of the dash simply do not appear to be well thought-out. My wife, independently of me, came to the same conclusion, and she ... Read More

Re: Reply from Honda [parviz]
Feel free to browse the Odyssey board or any other Honda board on here. There you will read about other "non-VCM' issues that have been returned to the dealer only to get the standard line "I can't find anything wrong". That added with my own experience backs up what I said. Having had 4 Accords and 1 Civic starting back in 1991 gives me alot of experience with Honda, I think. ... Read More

Re: Vibration at highway speeds, just off the lot [jinsmurf]
In response to your vibration problems, I bought the 08 Accord EX 5spd when it first came out (September) and had it in the Honda dealer 4 times. Dealer deny, deny, can't really feel vibration! They balanced (steel wheel weights, very professional) the tires 3 times, rotated 2 times, ahhh, still couldn't feel the vibration I was talking about. I refused to let the idiot drive and took him for the ... Read More

Re: VCM = losing my business [buttdonkey]
I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is, it goes back to the earlier posts about the car being de-valued. I hope it's not true. One thing we should all remember is that it's still only February. Honda will have incentives over the next few months, tax rebates will roll in and the accords will start to sell. That is when the issue will become more ... Read More

2003 Accord-disappearing oil
My 2003 Honda Accord, w/ 110,000kms is suddenly consuming a very large amount of oil: an average rate of .72liter per 1500kms or just under 4 liters between oil changes! I was informed by the dealer that the acceptable automotive oil consumption level is one liter per 1500kms, regardless of mileage! In other words, you could drive a brand new vehicle off a Honda dealer’s lot, it could consume every drop ... Read More

Honda Transmission?
Must be an isolated problem with the V-6 Accords.... I've got a '93 with nearly 200K and on the original tranny. It shifts a little hard occasionally, but nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, it shifts smoother than a 2001 Corolla that I used to drive.

Re: VCM - Honda's New Coke? [golfrski]

I still have my 2001 EXL V6 and there is no comparison in terms of engine feel. The only way I can describe it and compare it to the older models is that it feels like the ... Read More

I used to think that, several years ago. I used to think that every Toyota and Honda, whether it was a brand-new design or a mature model, would have stellar reliability. And they did.

Since I own one of those 03 Accords (51k miles), I would like to ... Read More

Re: Disappointment [robertsmx]
Handling? I’m not sure if it has anything to do with wheel size either. 2001 Integra Type-R did just fine with 15” rims. I think this too violates the mainstream example. The ride quality of that car was poor because of the performance oriented suspension and there was no sound deadening to reduce weight. It also came with tires similar to the NSX in that it was a VERY soft compound ... Read More
