An 02 honda? HA! if you take care of it, that means: oil changes, power steering fluid, transsmision fluid, anti-freeze/coolant, belts, hoses, filters (ALL of them, fuel,air-intake, oil, well i guess not cabin but you get the idea) and dont beat her up. no pot holes or popin wheelies (jk) but if you do all that, it will last you probably until you decide to get a new car, whenever that is. The only transmission that i know of that is crap on a honda car is the 1999 passport. but thats not honda's fualt cause they had issue build that suv. other than that i've never heard of a honda transmission giving out on it's own.You have a mighty fine peice of vehicular equipment there... it's a keeper.
