I have been hearing people tell me about the auto tranny in my Accord ever since I bought it in 2001 with 76k already on it. I've had it flushed once at 90k at the dealer (after which I heard it is better to replace the fluid that to flush). I know have 140,000 on it with no problems. Keep in mind that I drive it like it's the last week I'm going to have it.
