Ok So we hav eonly had this for the summer and everything has been smooth sailing till this code popped up. It only has 106k on it and of course were thinking were screwed the dealer says a new tranny will run $ 3800 (he is checking around for lower since honda doesnt even have them anymore) Has anyone else had tranny issues so early and how do you get it covered if your a used purchaser with no dealer relationship (we have had timing belts done at local dealer) UGH! If only we were employed we could just trade it in on a new one!

ANY help appreciated!!!!

This is the code for "lock-up clutch not engage" per Honda DTC chart. Do a search on "Lock-up control solenoid" and try cleaning the screen or replacing the solenoid first. It's much cheaper than the $3800 the mechanic quote you for a new tranny.

Good luck!

I think you are talking about the following solenoid screens.....

Check out the post '98 transmission filters' by theojo, links are there. The screen is under the L/O & Shift Control Solenoid assembly.
