I've owned 3 Accords, all of them bought at or over 100,000 miles. I put 100,000 more on each of the first 2, and I'm at 20,000 more on the one I have now.

Apart from one that shifted roughly into 4th, I've never had any serious transmission problems (that I'm aware of).

It is true that the two transmissions i have bought were used and i have only broken 2 total i am on my third. I have nothing to say that the second one wasn't on it's "last leg" when i got it except that it came out a car with less than 100K miles on it. I'm sure there are people out there that have not had transmission problems as well as many people who have...it is my understanding that the 94 accords had particularly bad transmissions and the problem was somewhat fixed in 95 so maybe it's just me.
