    '98 V6 Auto Trans

    Well, this forum is a shell of its former self. Anyone looking for a nice '98 V6 4door? Has 2001-ish Civic SI wheels (also have stock). Car ran great until trans crapped. Still runs great and actually made it to a transmission shop. Email me mrocksvold <at> gmail I am in Birmingham...

    '98 V6 Auto Trans

    Guys, I am in need of an auto for my 98 accord V6. It drives, but has some definite issues with the trans. The shop wants $2500 to replace and I'm honestly not sure it's worth that on this old ride. Motor has about 240k but runs great. I need motor mounts, a new windshield (actually the seal...

    Ways to prolong the life of our AT tranny

    I have 208k miles on my Auto Trans (V6 Sedan) and it's never had a problem. Knock on wood, of course. Maybe the key is that I flushed and re-filled the trans fluid at 75k, then drained and filled it again every 60k afterward.

    Stage 1 clutch advice.

    I've had a spec stage 2 in my dd since 2006. Never misses a beat. For 9psi boost, though, I'd go with a stage 3 as suggested above.

    Fuel vapour leak and P1456 code

    Mine is also emitting said fumes after driving the car for a while. There was some sort of purge valve that made noise for years when car was sitting and it doesn't make that noise anymore...anyone know which part it is which makes that noise?? I want to replace it first.

    200k things needed...

    Thanks for the tips. Might give the polyurethane mounts a try. Shenaniganz, lemme know if you'd let them go cheap after swapping to OEM.

    200k things needed...

    Took my '98 V6 Sedan in today for the 200k timing belt job. Got the water pump, cam seals, tensioner, and drive belts done at the time, but the mechanic brought a few things to my attention I would like to ask about here: Front and side motor mounts cracked. I knew this a while back, but...

    '98 V6 Sedan in Alabama...

    Have owned my '98 V6 sedan since 2001 and it has been a great car. My wife has been primary driver, but I will probably be taking over as I get her something newer. I've kept it stock until the recent addition of a K&N filter...finally. 203k miles and counting.

    Tips/experience on taking car of our automatics

    First post... I have a '98 V6 sedan. Throughout ownership, I have had two friends need transmissions replaced under warranty before 100k miles. Mine hasn't given me any trouble, but then again, I don't run the car hard at all. My timeline of transmission maintenance looks like this...
