Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY THEN WOULD JERK INTO GEAR. WELL THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WAS LUCKY THE CAR MADE IT ACROSS. NEEDLESS TO SAY $2600 AND A NEW TRANSMISSION LATER, IT NOW WORKS FINE (OF COURSE). THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED CAUSING THE FRONT PUMP TO FAIL. PERSONALLY I KNOW 3 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, GEE YOU WOULD THINK THAT HONDA WOULD REALIZE THE PARTS THEY USED WERE CRAP AND RECALL THE CARS TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTERS. NEVER AGAIN!!! *TR
