Your Honda replacement transmission isn't much better than the original. They don't last. Budget $4,000 for a new tranny in the near future if you buy this. See all the other transmission related threads.

The odds of death and an Ody transmission failure (eventually) are just about equal. Death, taxes, and Ody transmission failures.......

I'd wait for a late 2004 model with a high VIN number and the improved transmission. I'd sacrifice more miles on it for one with a better tranny and a timing belt that's been changed.

I'd like to dump my '02 for a late '04.
