My 2000 Accord got a new (rebuilt?, remanufactured?)
transmission at 96,000 miles. Thank you, Honda.

Honda must have realized they had a bad batch of automatic
transmissions because they extended the warranty on
my Accord's tranny from 36,000 miles to 100,000 miles.
As mentioned above, it got replaced at 96,000 miles.
Now at 201,000 miles, it's still shifting as required
and not making any nasty or strange noises.

I also had a transmission oil cooler installed earlier
this year.

By the way, the car towed the trailer nicely up to
about 70 mph. However, weather (winds) and traffic
(large trucks hauling ass), could make the car/trailer
sway a little with speeds over 70 mph. Below that
speed, it seemed pretty steady to me. In calm air
and not many trucks, it was steady at 80 mph, but I
felt more comfortable at 65 to 70 mph.

I really don't like the idea of having to get rid of
it just because the damned tow hitch won't stay attached.
Sigh.

Well, my brother still has the 1968 Chrysler New Yorker
four door 'hard top' (no 'b' pillar between the doors)
and 440 cubic inch gas guzzler V8. And, it still has
a trailer hitch on it for the times many, many years
past when dad pulled the camping trailer with it.

Naaahhhhh!

I have an '01 Odyssey, 120k miles, new tranny at 108k
(thank you
Honda).

Watch out for the 01-04 years (I think). Very problematic
transmissions. Do your research before buying a used
one.

Otherwise, excellent vehicles. Tows a 1-26 on an open
trailer quite
nicely - but nowhere near 75% of that dragging the
trailer.
