| Calling for Honda Accord 7th gen V6 (2003-2005) owners
Has anyone experienced the automatic transmission failure? How much to replace?
New question:
what about the timing belt and water pump? Do we need to change it every 7yrs or 100,000KM? How much for that?

05 + didn't get a recall for the tranny, if it's broken, you got two options fix it for about 3k or buy a new car and sell it at a lost Posted via RS Mobile

I know the second generation Acura TL and second generation Acura CL both has weak automatic transmissions. Which I wont be surprised if they use the same transmission in the Accords.
My friend had a 2003 TL Type S automatic which when he bought the car, the dealer said they installed a third gen TL transmission in because the original one was blown. Apparently that will solve the problem.

wasn't there also a recall on that era of accord for a gear in the transmission (I think the actual gear for 2nd gear), it would heat up and cause premature failure? I read that somewhere, but never had the dealer say anything to me.

It won't and can't bolt up, there's a lot of fab needed to put the two together. Altho they're both j32 it's a j32a4 and a a2 (iirc)
However you can get the 3rd gen tl tranny and put it in the 7th gen (03-07) accord. All you need is tranny, engine and ecu. Altho costly it's not that hard to do. Posted via RS Mobile | |

the 03 accord my friend had was a pos. We were heading back from whistler and stopped in Squamish. When we started the car again, it would not shift out of first or second gear. We had to drive back to vancouver at 6000 rpm.

there is a recall
-----------------------------------
Transport Canada Recall # 2004143
Recall Date 2004/04/23
Notification Type Safety Mfr
System Powertrain
Manufacturer Recall Number AJ85, AJ86, HK18
Units Affected 85,184
Category Car, Minivan, SUV
Recall Details
Certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or, in very rare cases, gear breakage can occur. Gear failure could result in transmission lock-up. Correction: On vehicles with 24 000 kms or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to second gear. On vehicles with more than 24 000 kms, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. If discolouration exists, the transmission will be replaced. If discolouration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line.

I had my TL-s tranny replaced at 64,000 km.
$5000 at dealer to replace sounds about right. They are still old tranny casings but rebuilt with new parts.
Nothing you can really do to prevent it. But you can try change the tranny fluid more often. That's what a friend that works at Burrard Acura said.

Are there a more durable tranny on the market for the TL's and Accords, or are you stuck with rebuilt Honda ones?

If you want durable.....swap it to a manual transmission.
Other then that. Nothing. Unless you go to the States and have a tuner shop rebuild it. But that's money and also no guarantees.
Like aznboi128 said. Every year. Or *couple of oil changes*
Depends how much you drive your car.
