My check engine light came on my 2002 Honda accord ex and got a diagnostic test at auto zone. The code said my transmission might be going out and I have 202,200 miles on it. If I have to replace the transmission what is the average cost and labor total? Also where is a good place to take it in the Baton Rouge area?

Yep. Twice.

The first one I put in had an issue, so I had to do it twice. It wasn't too bad.

I have access to a nice shop though.

The code said your transmission "might" be going out?

You should put a manual in it.

Get it looked at before it self destructs. It may be repairable. Don't wait.

A recycled (junkyard)transmission will save you a lot of money. they are probably readily available since Honda uses interchangeable parts a lot.

It could be a shift solenoid going out but a p0780 code is difficult to track down the actual problem. Let me guess, it's a v6 because it's a known issue among them. Honda engines only loves Honda fluids, I found out the hard way by replacing it with Castrol A/T fluid. Luckily for me I got 220k miles out of my car before selling it.

Id recommend either Interstate Transmission on Gardere or AGCO Auto on Coursey. They are both great places. Personally Id go to Interstate but dont know where you are located. hell Bill had that shop back when my dad was at LSU (late 60's).

is it a 4 or a 6 cylinder?

If the 4, pull the solenoids off the top of the transmission and clean the filter screens. You can reach them easily, front passenger side, takes all of 15 minutes. I got almost 400K out of original tranny on a 2000 with a 4 cylinder with this trick.

if a 6 cylinder, hell if I know, but that code is electrical not mechanical.
