Okay yall, here's my problem, but first a little history of my 2000 accord:

17,000miles: Trans-axle leaking. Fixed under warranty.

37,000miles: Trans-axle leaking again. A bearing was pushing out the seal. Although my warranty had just expired, Honda completely replaced my tranny at no charge (It took a lot of
b!tching from me to get it done.

54,000miles(present): Tranny is leaking fluid from the seal between the motor and tranny.

Okay, I noticed that there were a couple of spots on my drive way a couple of days ago. Since I needed an oil change I told the guy to find out what was leaking. That's what he told me.

How serious is this problem in terms of cost to fix? Should I b!tch and complain again to the dealer about how they can't seem to fix my tranny? Help me out, cause I'm taking the car toi the dealer tomorrow.

BTW: I looked up my state's lemon law and it seems that the car needs to have had multiple repairs within the warranty. Most of my tranny work has been done outside of warranty. Anybody familiar with this law?

did you have a warranty on the new tranny?

the thing is that, there is a 17k miles period when everything was fine..

But ya it is unusual.. I'd try to hustle another free job outta the dealer, but dont really expect anything.

Well, I just got back from the dealer. They want to inspect the problem to make sure the defect is in something that they worked on...which it is. If they decide the leak is their fault then they will fix it at no cost. We'll see....I'm not going to pay for ish!

After much bitching, Honda has approved yet another tranny swap. They ordered it today and it will be in in about a week. See what some good bitching can do? Lets hope this new tranny is a good one.

Wow, congrats to ya! Mad props on your bitchin skills!

Lets see if this one holds for more than 17 000 miles.

lol....we'll see. I'll definately keep yall posted.
BTW should there be any kind of break-in period with a new tranny? Kinda like when you get a brand new car?

i know this is too late but tell the dealer to inspect the mounts a bit. due tyo their point welding they tend to separate from the chassis and cause those problems. just an idea. i know mine does the same thing and i need to take the car to have one mount welded.
