4/15 Should I get a transmission flush? My old Accord manual says to
change it every 90K (which is a bit long), and it crapped out at
150K. Now I have a new Accord, I'm wondering if flushing the entire
transmission will prevent it from dying so soon. Thanks.
\_ 150K is a lot. You're not gonna get too much more.
\_ my old accord (86) and current acura (95) all give me transmission
and brake system problems (caliper keeps getting stuck). from
what I heard, these two are honda's weak points. from what I
read, a properly maintained car should easily go beyond 200k,
especially hondas.
\_ That doesn't mean it will go 200k without any work on it. It
means you will go 200k before the engine is shot (e.g. water
in the oil). The transmission may not make 200k.
\_ I don't think Honda engines will have problem at 200k,
unless you abused it.
