Re: warranty info about trans. for a 98 accord
The letter is true, but saying that, you still might be able to get
something from Honda. I have a '99 V6 Accord and had tranny problems. I had the Honda service manager drive my car and he immediately told me that my transmission was bad. Honda paid for my hardware (all new transmission) but I had to pay for the labor (~$570). This all occurred at ~68k miles in May '03. Being a '98, I wouldn't press Honda too hard as they really don't owe you anything, but worth asking. -keith tallahassee, fl "Howard" <Howardh@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:Fygfd.42992$mn5.30088@bignews5.bellsouth.net. .. > 98 Accords do not have an extension.

After being quoated $2400 for a junkyard transmission or $3100 for a Honda rebuild. After complaining to the service mgr. that we have owned several Hondas with mileage on some passing 200k that we feel wrong paying $2400 on a repair on a vehicle that is only worth $7000 at best, he called Honda and is willing to replace the transmission for labor only ($500). They also threw in a loaner car while the repair is being done. |
