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.

Thank you all for the help! The problem was a malfunctioning torque
converter. 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.
