Hey Lager, glad you were born...welcome! I'm new to the forum and have read through most of your wisdom.

My tranny tragedy occured last evening. Gotta '98 Accord Coupe LX V6 w/ auto (what other information do I need to povide you?) and 110k. Stop and go traffic: shifting became quite erractic, lurching into gear, delay before engagment into 1st, slamming gears while down-shifting.

Pulled off and symptoms got worse. At a stop light, even began to roll backwards, would not engage in gear...and spun tach. Got it parked and towed to nearby honda dealer.

Pulled code and indicated problem w/ gear ratio. Recommedned change of solenoid @ $520, and if problem not corrected, $5500 for a tranny...insanity!

I've seen recall on the 2000-01 trannys for some honda/acuras, any bulletin info on this one?

I am a major honda lover and have encouraged friends and family to get a honda/acura (we own one of each), and they have heeded my suggestion. But my loyalty is getting mighty shaky w/ the problems I've had with emissions and now the tranny.

What are your thoughts? Help! Your, and anyone elses feedback would really be appreciated. Thank ahead of time!
