My sister is a service manager at a Honda dealership in New Orleans (or was, I should say, before the hurricane) and she reports that quite a few 6th gens are still coming in for tranny replacements... and will continue to as the cars age. On the other hand, I know of several people also who have well over 100k miles on their 6th gens, and no tranny problems. The bottom line is, It was a documented problem and Honda issued the warranty/recall. The premature failure rate was higher than normal, otherwise it would'nt have become an issue. Also, while the dealerships don't tear into trannies, Honda does. When a certain number of complaints/repairs are made for the same problem, Honda of America investigates. Weak carrier bearings are what they found to be the cause, and thus issued the extra coverage. This isn't to say that all 6th gen ATs will fail. It IS indicating that the probability of a failure is higher, and there have been an unusualy high amount of failures reported for that year/model.
