There were some problems with the 00's and 01's. The 02's have the identical transmission, so any issues with the previous years will carry over to the new year.
Please realize that the transmission issues with the V6's are pretty exaggerated. Don't get me wrong, there are horror stories out there, but it's not like every single V6 auto has a problem. I think it's actually around 3% of the cars carrying that transmission, that incudes the: odyssey, TL, and CL.

The Chilton manual for the 98 and 99 model years should be fine. The only difference between the 98 and 02 Accords are some interior tweaks and new bumpers. The location of the screws, valves, gaskets, tanks, etc. are identical.
Depending what you wanted to do with your car, the Helms manual is top notch, but comes with a higher price tag I believe.
