Another key issue: are the trannies from the same ODB type cars? This could affect if the engine uses any tranny sensors.

I think I'll wait for my tranny to crap out then see if I could swap. Until then I'll investigate if this could be done like you said.
I might be the first to have a 6th gen with the heart of 5th gen.

nah it's all accord tranny's 4 and 6...my boy john just got his replaced for free. I'm hoping if mine has any plans of suicide that it handles that before the 100k mark, im at 60 now and a new tranny would be kinda cool...even tho mine still runs like the day i bought it, it would still be cool...

My question is, if the trannies are the same (between the 5th and 6th gen 4-cyls models) why is this only a wide spread problem among 6th gens? Did Honda go with different suppliers, etc.? How are the trannies holding up in the 7th gens so far...

I thought 6th gen autos were completely different from 5th gens...especially since the 6th gens have a rocky track record for tranny failure. I change AT fluid in my 1996 Accord every 35k miles (drain and refill, no flushes) and no problems so far in 100k+ miles. 5th gens tend to shift a bit rough, but it's completely normal. If the transmission are the same, did they just use better stuff in the 5th gens?

I've come to the conclusion that Honda Autos don't last long. Thank god I have a 5spd. My dad's 01 CL-S just got it's 5spd Sequential Sport Shift replaced. It was getting stuck in 3rd. Acura replaced it for free...it only had 33,000 mi on it.

I hear of more people having problems with 98-99 auto transmissions.
