Sorry an Accord question...Buffer thing??

I'm making a bit of an assumption but, IIRC there are liquid filled motor/trans mounts in many of the accords. I do know that civics have had trouble with liquid mounts bursting. Depending on your skill level it may or may not be a diy.

Our Accord has a transmission rattle that I think the mechanic said was a buffer(?) something. Perhaps I miss understood but the only thing I found on google was "Buffer Transmission mount". Is this correct?? & is it common for this part to fail??? We had the tranny fluid changed about 20K ago but that's the only tranny stuff that's been done.

Thanks

What year and model is the Accord?


I have seen a fair number of trans mounts go south on the 1998-2002 Accord V6's.

my whole tranny went on my 98 v6 that is why I drive an E

The transmission in my 03 Accord EX V6 died with only 75k on it and that is why I drive an E. Not sure what year your Accord is, but apparently 03 was a very bad year for Accord transmissions. I know quite a few people that have had similar issues. I would definitely push to have Honda look at it again. When I first took mine in, they just said I needed to get the fluid changed and I would be fine. A week later, I almost caused a major accident because my transmission was slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear. Get it checked again.

It was the tranny mount(s). Cost $400. :-(
