I have a 2000 Accors SE with 115,000 miles. The issue that I have is
that when you put it in reverse on a level grade it will work as
expected. However, if there is any time of hill then it will just rev
but not go any where. Obviously it is something with the transmission
and the reverse gears. Honda's solution was to replace the entire
transmission. I'm hopefully I'd have a better choice

I'm over the transmission warranty by 15,000 miles. Anyone think it
would be possible to convice Honda by calling the customer service
department to get them to replace it?

They only have two choices YES or NO. Give them a ring.

Did you check you fluid level?

Fluid has been changed, no leakage. I'm figuring they will say tough
luck. I've talked to some tranmission folks and they have said that
the reverese is just gears, no clutch. So it is pretty odd that
something is wrong. Anyone else have a similiar incident and/or know
how much $$$ to expect to be out?

I know that the Honda design allows the vehicle to roll back on an
incline. This is a fuel saving measure. but this sounds like something
else is going on. I guess I've been lucky with mine. No problems.
