They are lenient, but it's the 98 through 04 auto trans hooked to V6
engines that were miserable.
And that's not only one transmission, but two different
transmissions--the first was the 4 speed unit where they extended the
warranty, and the second was the 5 speed unit that cost them $360
million to fix.
Those transmissions are the legacy of the days when Honda let the
beancounters take over from the engineers.
