| After eleven years of ownership and 72,000 miles, transmission experienced failure of both right and left axle seals over the course of a year, causing serious transmission leaks. both seals were replaced by the dealer. after only four months, both axle seals began seriously leaking once again. transmission also began to make whirring noises above 30 mph. dealer determined that the transmission had experienced failure of differential bearings and off-axis axles were wearing out the seals prematurely. dealer quoted $4,500 replacement of transmission as only repair option. | |||

| Hi, i have a 2000 honda prelude. it is the automatic version with the sport shifter. recently my transmission has been acting more than usual. from when i bought my car in november of 2009 and until june 18th 2011, my transmission shifted into each gear fine, but did have some abnormal shifts on some days. from june 18th 2011 in the afternoon and until june 25th 2011, my car's transmission started to slip and shifted really harsh in every gear. the worst gear is 3rd. third gear slips really bad and has a late delay when shifting to 4th. | |||
