Thank you for all your support. I did check with other places for the cost
of a transmission. Due to timing and distance, I let Honda dealer to fix my
car. I also checked the web site of Honda. They do not extend the warranty
on the 1998 model.

The transmission went out on our 99 V6 accord with 71,000 miles on it. I
called Honda and they replaced the transmission with a remanufactured unit.
We had to pay $400 for the labor. But that is better than the $4,000 the
dealer wanted! Call Honda and see if they will do anything for you. They
will ask if you have your service records. We had all services performed at
the dealer so they had proof that we had changed the transmission fluid. It
doesn't hurt to try!

A couple of thoughts to consider. First, no one accidently put non-honda
transmission fluid in the car, right. Second, you might want to buy an
extended warranty on any car you purchase in the future and keep good
records of maintenance and fluid changes. I know of several cases where
domestic manufactures have refused to make warranty repairs because of
lack of maintenance documentation. I too feel Honda should help you out if
you had the required maintenance performed and can prove it.
