Is the main issue with the 2004 transmissions within second gear? I am about to pull the trigger on a nice 2004 because we have two more kids on the way, but I am still concerned about the entire issue with the transmission on these vehicles. My question is this -- are vans produced after the final VIN below not affected with the major transmission issues that affect all other ...

My Transmission performs great in first gear and in third but second seems to be completely missing. When I place the shifter in Drive and let it shift automatically it starts in 1st and then goes to 3rd (skipping 2nd entirely) no slipping between gears, nice and crisp, just no 2nd. When I place the shifter in 1st, up shifting or down shifting it is crisp and tight. When I place the ...

Well I am going to take a huge hit on this car for sure regardless of what happens but here goes. I am just gauging interest on what I can get as it sits. It is 2001 with around 75-80k on it. About a ...

If I switch from my 3 to a 4 sp tranny is it reasonable to do 2nd gear starts in the city with a stock 67 (F motor, 31 tires.) ? I do alot of bopping about in town and wonder if I will miss the economy of effort with the 3sp, less stirring of the pot. Am I being petty? Lazy more probably..haha. Please feel free to opine.

I find on my 690 smc that I have to attempt clutch wheelies below 4K rpm in third and below 5K in second, otherwise I hit the rev limiter and get weak sauce hops. I'm still learning too, and I had an epiphany a couple days ago: don't all anxious and in a hurry under hard acceleration. Just get moving steady, relaxed, and then fling things. Up it'll go. The nice thing about clutching is that while...

Transmissions in htat range had the second gear checked for overheating from lack of lubrication. A jet was installed in the fill port to lubricate the gear to eliminate the problem. The gear overheated only in certain driving conditions. After tha range the transmission had internal modifications in manufacturing to resolve the problem. There have been few complaints on this site on ...

Same is valid for me... At first day after getting car from dealer, I had heard that noise... problem for me is : there is aluminum cover under the car that starts from engine side to end... when you accelerate at first, engine or probably hoses a little bit lowered, and some hoses hit that aluminum cover... solution: When we make away that aluminum a little bit from hoses problem is ...
Got the car back last night. Gearbox was stripped and photographed. Photos sent to Honda. From the pictures no wear or damage could be seen. The dealer replaced two bearings and snynchro on second and third gears. Whine appears to have gone but everyone is at a loss as to what the cause was. Great service from my dealer (Brindley Honda Cannock) as always.
