98-01 Transmission

[JDM_Certified]

I was wondering if these year accord auto transmission able to work on our year. What are the differences if any?

My guess would be no but I could be wrong. I think just H23 and 22's work for our cars. Manual that is

And also, the auto transmission of this generation of Accord was quite... unreliable

from wikipedia:

"Despite the Accord's reputation for reliability, the V6 models were plagued by transmission failures and prompted class action lawsuits against the company (4 cylinder models were also affected, but not to the same extent). This caused Honda to extend the warranties for the 2000 through 2001 models to seven years or 109,000 miles (175,000 km). 1998, 1999 and 2002 cars were considered for extended coverage on a case-by-case basis. No formal recall occurred. In Canada, recall letters were sent out to owners who fell within a certain VIN range; this warranty was later re-extended for some owners to seven years in length."

Acura as well. The V6 Accords, some 4cyl and TL's and some CL's from 98-03 had horrid tranny issues. I would stick to 90-97.

Namely those J series Trannies. We had an 04 Oddy that had that issue.

It was a model year thing though. Most of the issues were in anything made from 98-04. Even some 04 and 04 TLs had bad trannies.

the guy is asking about 4cylinder accord tranny and you guys are replying about the 6 cylinder trannys. 98-01 came in 6 and 4

the 4 cylinder tranny for 98-01 will bolt up to your engine but the mounts for that year are totally diffrent. so no it won't bolt up to the chassis

however it may be possible to drill and tap if the provision is in the case.

i would suggest a good used 90-97. or as DarkHusk11 suggested prelude up to 01
check the fluid for color and smell, inspect the drain plug. there is a magnet and some material on the magnet is normal.

extra sensors and the lack of a kickdown cable causes it not to work, but it will bolt right on
