CleanGSR Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 screw autotragic... just get yourself a manual and you wont have any tranny problems Why, so he can have a slow car that's a manual versus a slow car that's easy to drive and auto? I personally thing auto is the way to go unless you ever plan to swap for performance down the road. To answer your question, I don't know. I do know that there were a lot of issues with the auto tranny's due to the design on all 6th gen accords (what you have). I'm not sure if they fixed it for the 7th gen, but I would imagine so. The 6th gens just had a bad design. They made the tranny so it would shift super smooth, but a result was a tranny that didn't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of anyone with a 4-banger auto that has a transmission worse than those in any civic or other Honda. One of the big reasons for the problem was the Japan Transmission and the U.S. engine (or vice versa, I don't remember). There was an alignment problem between the two, so over time the transmission would begin to fail. Personally, I find manual transmissions easier to handle and control than automatics anyway, not to mention the Honda manual's are (relatively speaking) bulletproof.
