    V6 B7XA Transmission Issue

    D4 light flashing usually indicates it is the end.

    FNCONE's Honda Accord 2001 V6 Sedan

    The whole mirror housing flops forward/backward now. I assume the motor is broken since it doesn't hold position. The heated wires I had a helluva time trying to fish through that bendy loom between the door and dash. And then trying to reach in the side of the dash to splice them in the defrost...

    FNCONE's Honda Accord 2001 V6 Sedan

    He lives!!! Great to hear from you. Remember me? I'm that guy whose hand you had to hold to work through electrical stuff...CL-S seats, power folding mirrors, etc... Really sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. That is one of my biggest fears. Life is not fair, I've realized that more and...

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    Maybe I need to look at my fuel lines, or something else. I filled up the other day and could smell gas around the car when I got home. Wonder if not filling the tank all the way will eliminate the issue. :lawl:

    V6 B7XA Transmission Issue

    I applaud you in your choice of an old Honda for your kid's first car. And not only because this is a 6GA enthusiast forum hah, but also because I see so many parents buying their kids really nice first cars nowadays, which as a parent I personally disagree with. Anyway, my first thought is...

    Trasnmission jerking and not shifting right

    Is the D4 light blinking? I would start with changing the trans fluid with OEM Honda DW-1 (3x drain & fill procedure - never flush these transmissions). Then address the codes, and see where that leaves things. At nearly 200k miles, some of these things are likely due for replacement (i.e. motor...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    ^$1000? Dang, from where? The shop ordered the parts from WORLDPAC, so whatever OE supplier made those parts for Honda were what they installed on my car. When I picked the car up I asked them what brand the line & pump were and I think I wrote it down on the invoice. I can't remember off the...

    6 disc changer plug ins

    I tried an FM transmitter but it didn't work out for me. Then I used a tape deck kit (yes a cassette with a wire hanging off it like sony discman car kits from the 90's) and it worked well and was good enough fidelity for me. :shrug: Otherwise you're wiring something up which I have no idea...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    I've decided I am going to try tackling some of my clearcoat areas. Hey, can't make it look worse right? :lawl:

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Nice. So pathetic we haven't come up with a better way to clear our roads here in the winter. Drives me nuts. Check out this clearcoat fixing vid: I replaced my catalytic converter once, I found a OEM spec bolt on one (didn't want the weld type) and iirc it was from Magnaflow and way cheaper...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    ^I don't see any rust? So it's got that going for you. But yeah that clearcoat looks like it's failed everywhere. It may not need repainted, potentially just sanded and re-cleared. And it would then look minty. Could do seat covers on the front seats until you save up for reupholstering. Or...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    ^I would love to sit here and say the car is practically pristine. Buuut that is not the case, sadly. There are a few rust areas, there are even more clearcoat failure areas. But at 217k miles I suppose it could be worse. I never repainted it. The only main body panel that got new paint after I...

    Shutoff while Driving

    Ah I was going to say ignition switch. Guess you could have gotten a faulty one, albeit unusual. Hmm...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Got the car back after getting the power steering high pressure line replaced (leaking), power steering pump replaced (leaking & grinding noise), & while I was at it I got the clutch fluid bled & fresh fluid put in. I pulled off the bulb plugs for the rear sidemarkers & used a needlenose pliers...

    First post!!! Wheel help!!!

    Those can fit with some work, depends on what you want to get into. This guy's pics are broken but his specs are only 3mm different in offset, and he listed what all he used to run his setup. Maybe some help...

    ABS Light

    You could try going on a Honda FB page and asking if there are any kind techs who work at a dealer and would charge you little to nothing to read the code real quick. I had the fortune of finding that luck with an issue I was having with our Toyota Venza, guy on a Toyota FB page responded to my...

    Wheel Fitment Thread

    ^What is the wheel width? And is the car lowered or stock height? If you are talking about those 11G Civic wheels from the other thread, they won't rub. Lots of people ran 17x8 +45 TL wheels with 235/45/17 tires with no issue. +50 is even higher and I assume those Civic wheels aren't more than...

    1999 Accord Coupe Question

    Headers won't actually help much with sound. Try to find an AEM V2 cold air intake, best induction noise for the J30 imo. And then an exhaust if you want more.

    Mikey's 2001 Sedan EX

    I never replaced the door stoppers in my coupe either. I did replace the driver door one (with an OEM unit) in our 2010 Odyssey right after we got it, annnd it's already worn down and no longer does its job. The door is pretty heavy, but feels pretty premature to have to do this again. It could...

    Buying Parts from India/Indonesia

    One of the things I used to do when looking for 6GA parts from other countries was change the specified country when searching on Ebay. Sometimes I'd find an interesting thing or two on Aliexpress but it was mostly miss. Other than that, you could try seeing if there are people in the Facebook...

    Maintenance Required light is just a service interval light that comes on at certain mileages according to the vehicle's designated schedule. It has to be turned off manually, there are instructions on this in your owners manual. If you don't have one, easily found online. It wasn't just these...
