I just bought a one family owned 2002 Honda Accord EX V-6 Sedan with the infamous B7XA Trans. It has 260,000 mi on the original trans with a 3 x 3 qt drain and fill at 120,000 mi at the dealer and a 3 qt (likely more like 2.6 qt) drain and fill at 210,000 mi and 240,00 mi by the original owner's son all using Honda DW-1 Fluid. I'm planning to continue the partial changes going forward although I may do it every 20,000 mi. Most of these seem to die at 120,000 - 180,000 mi in an Accord. What's the longest you know of this trans lasting?
It's actually in pretty decent shape with all the original leather still in one piece, cold ac, all original power accessories still working, tight suspension and steering, good brakes, matching 90% tires and no trouble lights. Southern car with no rust.
In today's market don't know what else I could buy to fiddle with for a $1,000.00.
It does need a motor mount and the timing belt is 7 years old so I plan on putting an Aisin Timing and Waterpump Kit on it. I'm going to change the coolant and brake fluid as well.
Any other suggestions?
