 The automatic transmissions in 1997 honda preludes are weak and fail easy. the reason is cheap parts and metals in the transmissions themselves. the 97 preludes were recalled in turkey, and replaced with a new m6ha unit. mine is constantly slipping and tearing up. i'm looking at a constant problem that costs a lot of money. i bought this car for its quality and prestige in the honda world, but due to the lack of quality and workmanship in the automatic transmissions, my opinion of preludes has drastically dropped. i would not care if i had an automatic or a manual, i just want a car that works like the honda company lacked to make it. thank you. *nm
