the dealer is not obligated to replace the filter on the A1 changes,
just the B1 changes. It's part of Honda's ecco-friendly image.

I can't think that going 15k miles without changing the oil filter can
be good for the engine. While I do my own oil changes I thought I
would mention it to the group and find out from your repair shop the
next time you get it done.

Agreed on this year Civic I would say so.

On the newer 08 Accords the compressor kicks on more frequently than I
have ever seen in any car before. The question that we will need to
start asking is does it cycle faster than in the past?

2003 Accord EX 6 cyl, 85,000 miles. Two months ago I had a similar
failure. Honda authorized 50 - 50 on factory rebuilt trans and install.
My out of pocket, was $1492. Some here have reported doing better,
some worse. I don't know what factors Honda uses in deciding. I was
satisfied - this was 49,000 miles past the warranty.

I brought the car back to the
transmission place and they re-opened and check it again. They gave
it back, and just found out the problem continues again. Is this a
problem they didn't solve? Or is it something that goes beyond the
transmission rebuilding service?

if it's not vtec, it's very straightforward. if it is vtec, you may
need an air tool to activate the valve gear.

yes.

hydraulic lifters are used on p.o.s. cars that use soft crummy
componentry that wears quickly - it's the only way to accommodate the
high wear rate.

1. vtec is nothing to do with the transmission
2. find someone competent to do the diagnosis - that "transmission shop"
clearly isn't.
3. i believe this vehicle is part of the great honda transmission
recall. take it to the dealer after you've googled this group for all
the other stories - and solutions.
