Default How long does a new automatic transmission last? (in a honda accord 2001) Just had it replaced?

I have 83,000 miles on it. Honda recalled the transmission on my car model. One day to the next it died. Should honda pay for my car rental fees? I paid $400.00 for 7 days.

If you really take care of it -- I'm talking changing the oil every 5000 miles......... with regular service checks:200,000 to 300,000 ........ no kidding!!!

Assuming you've had the car since you bought the 2001 new, it should last you as long as you own the car.I'm driving a 1991 Geo prizm, with over 220K miles on it, and it's still the original auto tranny in it.Either you got suckered to get a new one, or there was a major defect in it somehow to break it, especially if it is a Honda. It should last you for decades.One sure thing to make sure a transmission lasts is to change the tranny fluids regularly. Once a year is a good suggestion, even tho' the manual may say just every few years. Every 20,000 miles is an extremely good mileage for changing, but every 50,000 is probably just fine for normal use of a car.But consider the cost of changing fluid once a year, compared to having paid for a brand new transmission when it should have gone easily 10 more years!!!"Somewhere, something bad got done to you!!!"If you bought the car used, then you probably got stuck with a bad tranny, and the cost of the repair. But now, that new tranny should last even your kids learning to drive in that car!!!I'm not kidding!!!

If you keep it maintained, it should get 300,000+ miles.

The transmission on the 2000 and 2001 Accord had two problems that Honda has acknowledged are caused by the design of separate parts and seals inside the transmission. Only a small percentage of the transmissions had one problem or the other but Honda is a very customer focused company and they felt a responsibility not to penalize any Honda owner who would experience either problem down the road. Honda did not "recall" the transmissions but rather they extended the warranty on them to 7 years or 100,000 miles in the event you were one of the owners who had a problem with the transmission.Honda replaces the transmissions with factory remanufactured transmissions (they re-use the outer shell and put all new parts inside so they have to call them 'remanufactured') and because of the expense of the replacement and their concern that you not have another problem with the transmission, the quality control process on the remanufactured transmission is much more rigorous than the typical Honda quality control.As long as the transmission was installed properly and the hydraulic system flushed out as prescribed by Honda, the new transmission will outlast the car. I am not aware of any failures of the new transmissions that use the redesigned parts. I have heard of failures related to improper installation or not following the proper procedures but those occured well in the past and don't seem to be an issue as dealers have gotten up to speed on the replacement program.If it were my car I would have every confidence that the replaced transmission will last the life of the car.hope that answers your question

Default Re: How long does a new automatic transmission last? (in a honda accord 2001) Just had it replaced?

Hi Honda guy!
I do drive 2000 Honda Accord LX 4 doors automatic with 96,000 mileages. I'm the single owner and well maintained, all maintenance and tuning done by same Honda Dealer only. In last oil-change dealer identified like I need replace transmission, also I need start feeling jerk and slipping while merging with traffic i.e. say 0 to 20 mph after that driving is smooth. But engine light is good i.e. Not turned on yet.
Dealer suggesting remanufactured transmission cost around $2600 including labor. My question is do I need to change transmission very soon or go with transmission flush and once Engine light turned ON then I need to go for remanufactured transmission. (fyi, I did transmission flush @ 85,000 mileage).
Please advice!
