Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 1999 Honda Accord

Transmission slips and will not go into gear. Only 55,000 miles on the vehicle and we strictly adhered to the maintenance schedules. Based on research on the web, this is quite common but Honda is not standing behind the transmission failures. Honda recognized the issues with the 2000-2003 Accord transmissions but failed to include the 1999's when their is obviously widespread problems with them.

I noticed transmission leaking from my 1999 Honda Accord ex at about 78,000 miles. I also noticed that my transmission was slipping and not changing gears at the proper times. Thus, I took my car to a transmission repair shop and was advised that my seals and axels had to be replaced. To get a second opinion, I took it to a meineke shop who advised that my axels were fine and that I needed a transmission technician because my problem was greater than I imagine. I contacted a technician in the area and he assessed the situation. The technician advised that the problem was that the behrings on the vehicle were poorly manufactured and thus were causing leakage and slippage. He offered literature on this particular problem which helped me understand. His solution was to completely rebuild the entire transmission but that was a cost that I could not even fathom to bear. This led me to contact a transmission repair technician that I had previously consulted with when I was faced with transmission issues with my 1988 Honda Accord. This technician diagnosed the car with the same problem as the previous transmission technician. He cautioned that Honda Accords built in between 1998 and after had those faulty parts in the transmission, thus causing the same problems I was describing. I had to other alternative than to trust this technician with the repair of my transmission since I had previously dealt with him. He was honest and straightforward from the start. As a result, I have had to pay for the repair of the transmission, including new parts; I have had to rent a car in the interim; and I have not been able to obtain any type of answers as to why this happens or why there has not been a recall. The technician has granted me the favor of keeping the old parts and will provide me with an itemized bill for his services, including any parts ordered for the repair/refurbishing of the transmission.

1999 Honda Accord, ex v6, 79k miles, beautifully maintained and only serviced by Honda dealerships. Original owner was my father (philip garraffa) who leased the vehicle; I purchased the car and the end of the lease - I know it has been taken care of and has never been subjected to excess wear and tear. At times while driving (stepping on the gas), the engine will 'rev', car will not move into gear, then all of a sudden will slam into gear and jerk forward. Thankfully this has happened at lower speeds, but this is very dangerous, especially if this were to happen at a higher speed.

1999 Honda Accord v6 - the transmission slips and will not engage in gear. When it first started to happen, the car would rev up to high rpm's and then engage. Now the only way to drive is put in 2nd gear. It will not shift into 3rd or 4th at all. Accords from 2000 - 2004 have been recalled for transmission problems. The 1999 should also be recalled. This problem could have resulted in an accident while traveling on highway!.

While driving, the vehicle did not change gears or gain speed. The dealership serviced the vehicle and noticed that the transmission needed to be replaced.

While driving, the automatic transmission does not shift properly. Dealer has been notified. The vehicle sometimes shifts gears on its own without the changing of speeds. Other times while accelerating into traffic (at a stop light or merging) the vehicle will slip into neutral and will redline but not shift into gear.
