98 Accord Transmission issue 7year/100,000 warranty?

I have a 98 Honda Accord EX 4 banger. The transmission has been slipping, had it flushed a month ago. There's a hesitation b/ 1st to 2nd gear. I have 96000 miles on it. I found out on consumerguide.com that there was an extended warrantly issued 7year/100,000 miles for the transmission for 00-02 Accords. I didn't receive a recall letter or notification indicating that the 98-02 generation had tranny issues. It is well known that many people had this kind of problem. Do you think I can get the dealer to replace my transmission for free even though its a 98? Any advice from you guys is much appreciated. Thanks

It's not a recal, it is just an extended warranty, and I'm not positive, but I don't think the I4's are covered by it.

I have the same problem with tranny but with 99 v6 coupe. I heard they have extended warranty on 1999 and 98 trannies. If you contacted the honda please let me know how it goes. thanks.

I'm having the same problem with my 99 4 cyl. Mine , unfortionately has 174000 miles on it:frown:

I have a thread going about my 98 V6 Accord - clunking into gear and slipping between gears but only when cold. After 5 minutes, all symptons disappear. My Honda dealer offered to replace my tranny at 50% of cost (not including labor) due to the extended warranty offered to 00-02 Accord owners. I decided against it to take a chance on my tranny lasting further. Does anyone know if the torque convertor is replaceable w/o tranny replacement ?
I don't think the extended warranty covers 4 cyl either.

Sure it is...but that's not your problem. Are you having other issues?

Your symptom is common with a sticking valve body or a fluid seal that is damaged and not holding pressure until it warms up and softens a bit. I'd try running a Seafoam or Trans-X in it according to the product instructions before accepting the problem...In either case I mentioned it will improve it.

DO NOT FLUSH THE TRANNY, regardless of what you've been told. 9 times outta ten it will exacerbate the problem on an older unit.

cp44, thanks for your suggestion. I'll give it a rip. I've noticed two other issues recently - 1) am getting a shimmy/vibration at 38 mph in 4th gear - when I shift down to 3rd, it smooths out quite a bit (2) at 70 mph, i feel same shimmy/vibration. I'm not sure if this is tranny-related.
By the way, this problem started in early Jan right after 90K maintenance at my Honda dealer.
