bad transmission on my 1998 Honda with only 7,900 miles. Anyone has the same problem?
 
I have a 1998 Honda Accord LX automaitc 4 door with 79,000 miles. Two
weeks ago, a noticeable jerk occurred when it shifted from a low gear to
a higher gear. I always drive on D4 shift. Then, few days later, whenever
I stopped and then stepped on the accelerator, the car stalled for a
second and then shoot out. After all, I paid for a new transmission at a
Honda dealer.

Next time, I won't buy a Honda anymore. If you are thinking for buying a
Honda, please think again.

So, no diagnosis or testing, you just felt it shoot into gear too
suddenly after a rolling stop (or whatever -> you don't describe much)
and you blew cash on a new tranny? Dude, don't be so fickle about Hondas
just because you chose to buy a new one part on your own initiative.

Next time work with your garage/dealer to get to the root of the cause
(a lot of stuff is vacuum operated on Hondas and you'll be amazed at the
symptoms you'll see that are vacuum related).

Anyway, go ahead and buy an American car if you feel they'll be more
reliable.

Radar "fickle" very well said.

It's not that Honda has problems or something, it sounds like it was
something else that needed to be replaced, what? I am not quite sure.
Go figure?

But, don't think Honda is because your car broke down. It's the
same way with any car brand you buy. I used to have a Infiniti Q45, and
wasted over $12,000 USD into that P.O.S., and now learned my lesson. My
$1,900 honda lasted me more than a car that used to retail for $55,000
USD

Now you tell me what is up with that?

I strongly believe car manufacturers have the ablity to make cars last
40, 50, 60, or even longer amounts of years. But, you know what? they
are not in the business to make a car last for 500 years, because if
they did they would be out of business. They make cars to last 5 years,
and this is why I don't like newer cars.

If you want my personal option, because option is what it is. I much
rather have a older car business in the end it will last a lot longer
than a newer car will. You will always see Classics, but will you see a
2005 Ford F150 in the year 2050? You wont!

But, you may see a 1991 CRX in 2050!

You decide!

Dude, why can you not understand his problem? His description is very clear
that the dealer diagnosed a bad transmission.

Sometimes, when you need a car to make a living, you just don't have time to

American trucks yes, American cars, hell no.

I would love to see your 2005 Ford Focus last to 300,000 miles.

No offense to my fellow americans, but our cars are not made like they
used to be. They are always made of cheap plastic, and they fall apart.
Come on now, if you drove say a car from the 1970's or even the 1980s
and smashed into a 2000 model anything, you would completely smash the
new car, and you may put a dent in the old car.

Old cars are designed like tanks. The only bad thing is they suck to
much gas.

read his description. He did not say the dealer diagnosed his
transmission as bad, he just talked about a a jerking once, and a sudden
accelleration 1 time. Then he paid for a transmission

Honda tranny warranties were extended to 7 years which means his 1998
would be covered if there was a defect, and if they had been give the
opportunity to do a full diagnosis (not he did not say that they did)
and found a fault they would have replaced it free. Dealerships will
also let you order them around and install whatever you want if you're
going to pay money -> sounds like that's what happened.
