Accord EX V6 2005 Transmission Problems?
I just got a 2005 Accord EX V6 to replace my 2002, which had its
transmission replaced last year. I am noticing some strange behavior from the new transmission, particularly a very noticable downshift when slowing down. No doubt I am sensitive to transmission issues due to the problems with my 2002. Has Honda finally fixed the transmission issues on the Accord, or are the latest models also susceptible? |

Unless Honda has gone backward, I would think your transmission should be the same. |

Probably you are just noticing the transmission downshifting which is a normal part of this algorithm. However, I am certainly not convinced that Honda has solved it's transmission durability problems. Only time will tell. John |

It appears to me that if I am braking hard to slow down, the tranny will aggressively downshift to assist. I think it's normal. Of course, the slip from 3rd to 4th that happens sometimes isn't... |
