interesting. I knew some honda's had problematic transmissions but i thought the EL's were solid. My family had a 2004 until 80,000kms. No problems. We've had plenty of different year 2001-2004 EL's in our shop with over 200,000kms with again, no transmission problems. Servicing also is a big factor here too.
