2 of my friends accords with auto tranny required a lot of "work"
both made it past 100K and both were 4 bangers.
one was 1999 and another was 1997. the both failed around 110k miles. one guy was lucky he only had to have his transmission shimmed (shifted like shit but shifted, previously it didn't shift). the other guy tried the shims and had the same failure after less than 100miles, and he ended up having the tranny rebuilt $$$

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.

no, it is only for the 3.2TL and 3.2CL. It is also on a case by case based on service history with the dealership. person A: who has done all their maint. and taken care of car will get good will and a happy exp. person B: who has never set foot inside the dealership before and shows a general lack of maint. upon inspection will either get denied good will or a 50/50 good will customer pay will be struck. It is also on a dealership by dealership/district by district basis on good will policy.
