The transmissions on my 2000 Honda Accord lx v6 started slipping then erratically revving up to 4000 rpms then shift all the suddent. And most of the time when I shift to reverse it just does a huge clunk noise and a suddent hard shift then goes into reverse. My Honda only have 93,000 miles.
2000 Honda Accord whining noise -dealer inspected -said okay to drive. Within twenty miles - car stopped moving forward - manually shifted gears - worked temporarily until got car stopped in parking lot - then nothing - towed back to dealer and received diagnosis next day of transmission failure. Surprised because dealer had changed transmission at 33,000 under an extended warranty due to known transmission problems. No recall per manufacturer, but offer warranty due to their concern. .

When shifting to reverse, loud thump comes from under car. Upon initial startup, engine makes loud thump, motor seems to shift or move, creak or tapping noise coming from front supsension or frame of car when moving forward from complete stop, dealer could not find problem.
Automatic transmission emits noise ("thunk") while vehicle is moving in reverse, accompanied by abrupt shift as if not fully engaged in gear.
The day after we purchased the vehicle we noticed a loud "thump" when putting the car in reverse. This noise was heard almost every time the vehicle was shifted into reverse. Upon calling the service dept. At the dealer where the vehicle was purchased we were told this was a normal sound when shifting into reverse. The noise continued to happen & it was obvious it was not normal so we again called the dealer's service dept. Which then said it was indeed not normal & to bring it in. It apparently was a known defect in 2000 Accord v6 models. The transmission was replaced. In Aug 2000 the car would not start. It was not a battery problem as lights, etc. Worked. I tried several times to start the car & upon turning the ignition had no response. None of the dash lights indicating engine trouble remained on, although they did intially come on & then go out. I let the car sit for 15-20 mins at which time I then was able to start the car. This problem has not yet repeated itself.
Consumer stated the light that illuminates the settings in the automatic shifting lever does not light when the lights are turned on at night, therefore the consumer does not know if the vehicle is in drive or reverse, also when the brakes were pressed there was a noise coming from below the shifter for the automatic transmission .
