Honda Accord Recall
Joys, I have only had my 2004 Accord Ex 6 sedan for 3 weeks now and today I
received a safety recall notice for the Automatic Transmission Second Gear Inspection!. Certain operating conditions can result in heat build up in the transmission second gear set on certain 2003-2004 Accord V6 sedans and coupes. This could result in gear tooth chipping or in very rare cases , gear breakage. Gear failure could result in transmission lock-up and a crash could occur. Oh Joy! If you have under 24,000km all they do is perform a simple revision to the cooler return line. Over 24,000km they inspect the affected gear for heat discolouration and either install an oil jet kit or replace the transmission. Has anyone had any experience with this problems or thoughts or opinion on the fix? |

Re: Honda Accord Recall
we inspect the second gear through the speed sensor hole, if its discolored
because of heat according to a table of pictures, the tranny will get replaced. if the second gear shows no signs of damage or discoloration, we install an oil jet kit on ALL trannys that don't require replacement. the same recall first came out on the odysseys. and its not the same tranny as the odyssey.

In some small details, perhaps--but obviously the design is identical, if the problem AND the fix is identical. Isn't the actual oil jet kit identical between the two, as well? |

Re: Honda Accord Recall
the oil jet kit on the accord uses a banjo fitting, and the odyssey uses a
flange with 2 10mm bolts to attach it. "Elmo P.

Re: Honda Accord Recall
I have a 2004 Accord EX v6 but I have not receive a recall notice. I
checked the Honda's ownerlink and it does not mention that my car has any recall. I remember reading the papers on this recall. Is my car excempted? Since I got the car 8 months ago, I notice that from first to second gear seems to be a "jump" or a gear grind just small enough to feel vibration on the gas pedal. This normally occurs on "cold" start. I do not notice this during very hot summer days. What are the symptoms to watch for? Tom |
