"American Honda Extends Warranties on Select Automatic Transmissions

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 20, 2002 - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. announced today it will provide extended warranties on approximately 1.2 million Honda and Acura models equipped with automatic transmissions due to problems that may result in premature wear or failure. The extended warranty will cover affected transmissions for seven years or 100,000 miles.

The standard bumper-to-bumper warranty for Honda vehicles is three years or 36,000 miles, while Acura vehicles are covered for four years or 50,000 miles.

Vehicles covered by the extended warranty include:
2000 - 2001 Honda Accord, Odyssey and Prelude
2000 - 2002 and some 2003 Acura 3.2 TL
2001 - 2002 and some 2003 Acura 3.2 CL


While only two percent of these vehicles have experienced these transmission problems, American Honda will provide extended transmission warranties on all potentially affected vehicles. "Our priorities are making sure our customers are taken care of and reassured they can continue to depend on their Honda or Acura automobile for a long time to come," said Tom Elliott, executive vice president for American Honda.

There is usually plenty of warning to the driver that the transmission is not operating properly, such as slow or erratic shifting, giving them ample time to take the vehicle in for service.

American Honda will notify all owners of eligible vehicles via mail in the coming weeks."

Actually that quote is out of the most recent Honda Tuning. I read it yesterday while I was sittin' on the John

But yeah, doesn't look like our cars are covered. At least not yet ...
Besides, all you'd really get is an extra 4 years on the warranty - which is really sweet and definitely worth it, but oh well. I don't think there'll be too many problems with our cars anyways ...

Lucky my automatic transmission went out around 14k miles. And unfortunately, you cant just have a manual transmission swapped in if yours goes out under warranty, well not without shelling out some major cash. Basically from what i understand talking to the dealer about this was they will swap your damaged tranny for a new one, then you are responsible for covering the charges involved in the swap. Your basically selling a brand new automatic transmission to someone and using the profits to drop a manual one in, plus all the parts and rework that has to be done to install it. (new pedal sets, new shifter assembly and linakge and so on.....) In the end its cheaper to do a complete car swap and trade in yours after the new tranny is dropped in since resale on a used manual is lower then a used automatic. (which also means you gotta swap all your stuff from your ride into the new one.)
