when the rotors get too low to turn with on car lathe you have to replace the rotors...well the wheel bearing/rotor/hub are all one assembly so when you do rotors you have to do wheel bearings at the same time, it gets pricey. The F motor in them is a pretty sure fire motor and will run forever with regular maint.

I think that flyromeo got his auto tranny on his accord fixed. Might want to hit him up to see what he exactly did to get it fixed.

The V6 trans on the 2000's and 2001's were deemed "bad" Honda. They extended the warranty on those to 100K, going 40K past the normal interval. They V6 trans could also be found in the Odyssey, TL, and CL. I think the overall failure rate was only 3%

My 2000 V6 is on 126K and the trans is still good. I do change the ATF every 16K and I've never once floored the car from a dead stop.
