Unfortunately you will probably have the problem again down the road. The
problems in the transmission are inherent in the design. One thing is the
transmission filter that Honda does not even recognize as being there and do
not have a replacement schedule for it. Very few Honda mechanics even know
it is there. The 99-01 four speed were really bad, the 02-03 seem to be
having a lot of problems. I haven't seen too much with problems with the 04.
The 05 on I believe are redesigned and haven't seen much on them.
