Replacing the automatic transmission in my 1998 Honda Accord 2.3L VTEC

[@johnc7431]

As I can say I enjoyed this video as much as everybody else did. Again a lot of good information nice job. I have the exact same car 99 Honda. 322,000

That's awesome! It's my goal to take this one past 300k

[@rafaelakayuco9042]

This was fun to watch.

[@hotrod4d]

Thanks man, I try to keep it lighthearted even if the job is tough!

Could’ve fully rebuilt the transmission for the same price though… would’ve had new clutch packs, seals, gaskets and you can thoroughly clean the valve bodies. Would be practically new and you wouldn’t have issues for a long while.

[@hotrod4d]

@@maxwellgreenfield4117 yes but it would have taken longer at the time. Now I have a spare to rebuild if this one even thinks about acting up

Bro, just a ball joint in the fork. And you can pop that mf'r out. I used some Ratchet straps to suspend the wheelhub in the air And keep everything from And keep everything from Wiggling all over the place while working. over the place while working

Just did mine, my baby gave me 300k and most parts are still original

[@hotrod4d]

Heck yeah! These cars will last a long time when taken care of properly!

Funny I also have an 06 crown Vic p71 and a 98 Honda Accord V6 both black had the trans done @ Honda back when it had 50k miles I'm at 200k now

[@hotrod4d]

Nice! You have good taste, sir! If you keep up with the maintenance, either of these cars are great rides!

@@hotrod4d the Honda I just do the timing belt kit at every 90k hasn't failed me yet👍🏼 good luck with yours

[@slkrck4890]

Awesome video

[@hotrod4d]

Thanks I tried to throw in some helpful tips!

[@OscarMoreno-on1gl]

What's the little dealy you Mentone in the beginning when you said "this little guy is disconnected from the dealy"? I saw mine disconnected, but i don't know what it goes to

[@hotrod4d]

Oh that's a little vent or vacuum line coming right off the top of the trans and goes to the engine I believe

[@OscarMoreno-on1gl]

@@hotrod4d thank you for responding so quickly!

Hey , I have a 1998 accord 2.3l I had a leak from my transmission , I opened up the cover for the linkage and it was leaking from there , does that mean I need to change my transmission or is there another fix? Thank you

[@hotrod4d]

Good question, I will check on the old transmission and give you an update soon

[@NYC.N3A]

@@hotrod4d thank you very much

[@hotrod4d]

@@NYC.N3A ok I did some research and looked on my ol tranny to see but I think you can get lucky and only have to replace that seal around the shift output shaft without removing the whole transmission. Another thing to look at could be your rear main seal

Reliable Honda accord from this generation? My 2002 2.3 was a total piece of crap. Transmission replaced 75000 miles, check engine light every mile, electrical issues from headlights to the tail lights and most points in between. Bad door locks, leaky door seals, sunroof gets clogged all the time and leaks into interior, the famous idle hunting. misfires, the fuel pump took a dump at 45000 miles, On the bright side its easy to work on. So its a good car for a person that likes to fix their car constantly. donated it wen transmission started to fail again at 120000 miles

[@hotrod4d]

Wow they must have made yours on a Friday lol that's a tough break though, I've had nothing but good luck with these cars. That being easy to work on part you mentioned is what I mainly like about this car
