Those 3.x trannys really suck - wonder if its the same one used in the Accords that were recalled

 

[UNCjigga]

DOH! Good thing dad replaced his '01 MDX with an '04 MDX then! Glad my Accord isn't affected either.

We all know Honda's auto transmissions aren't the smoothest, but chipped teeth? Yikes!

 

[NokiaDude]

Crap, I thought our 04 Ody would be problem free. The tranny is smooth but is shifts weird. When it changes gears it "pulls" foward and then slows down and jerks.

 

[Actaeon]

Aren't those the same trannys as in the older 3.2TLs?

Why wasn't a recall issued for them?

 

[Vic]

Doh! Now that's gonna be a spendy recall.

Damn domestics...

This is coming from the kid that thinks his parents' minivan is a racecar and drives ~60mph in his neighborhood...

I'm sure his tranny was fine before all his neutral drops.

Yea it sucks that they build it here in the US.

 

[Doggiedog]

Not surprised.

Those trannies are timebombs.

People have been complaining about them for years.

 

[vi edit]

At least transmissions are one thing GM does right.

If you chumps wouldn't keep driving autotragics, you wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

Manual > Automatic.

Nissan > *

Exactly. I'm waiting for someone to blame this on Ford... because every vehicle problem and recall is onviously Ford's fault.

That's not fair. A lot are VW's fault too.

Yeah, with a domestic they would say it was due to driver abuse and tell you to go F yourself.

Too bad they couldn't get the rest of the vehicle right.

Everything else on my car breaks but hey the transmission is golden...I see a new GM commercial in the making.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

the great almighty Honda has screwed something up

Slightly off topic, but a while ago I thought I remembered GM and Honda striking a deal where GM would help Honda with transmissions and Honda would help GM with engines. Anyone else remember this? What were the specifics of the deal?

I'm not sure exact details.

But I do know the Saturn Vue has a Honda 6-cylinder in it.

When are they gonna do a recall on those Accords (circa 1998-2002)?

 

[edro]

No one cares about the Odyssey anyways...

I'd make a comment here but it'd be entirely redunant.
