Hi,
Few months back my Father bought an Accord 2000 model I think it was, autobox, mileage was over 190,000. Few weeks back the gears were slipping badly and the gearbox juddering, it seems to have pretty much packed in.
So today my Father bought another one, this is a 99 model, exec so better specced, has 60k on the clock, all seems genuine, has previously been serviced at honda dealers, so everything seems legit. The car seemed fine on the test drive, and on the way back home, until I switched on to check the climate control (whether it's related or not i dont know). After that when sitting stationary in traffic, the car sort of shakes and judders in intervals, then when you move off, it kicks, strong kick, one or two times it moves off smoothly especially if you accelerate very very very softly, but it doesn't feel normal and operates very differently to autoboxes from previous gen Accord. So worried that this one is gonna pack in again too!
So yeh just wondering if anyone knows what the cause of this problem is and whether they had the same problem.
If it tl:dr, basically the car kicks lightly while stationary and then when you move off it kicks heavily, like its kicking into gear or struggling or something.
Also two other questions, anyone know when they timing belt has to be changed? seen people changing at 70k, this one has 60k on the clock. Second question is how do you remove the original bose stereo?
Cheers.
