Two problems related to transmission slip out of gear have been reported for the 1998 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I am a owner of 1998 Honda Accord and have just started having problems with my transmission knocking, clicking when I change gears, and it jumps out of gear as I am going down a hill. I did some research and found out that thousands of people are having the same issue. When I took it to the dealer they even was aware of the situation with the faulty transmission that they have been putting in people cars, but act like it is not a big deal. You think you are buying quality when you buy a Honda, but that is not the case. I hope no one gets killed before they take action. If I have an accident while driving with my kids in the car and it locks up, I will be moving on up to the next step because I don't understand why they would not stand behind their faulty junk and not risk some being hurt or even killed.
Transmission slipped out of gear and vehicle jumped forward. Lost control of vehicle and hit tree.
