I agree, I have read thorugh many sources (PA, PP, PO) that the auto boxes do tend to f*ck up more often than the +99 ones...
(I have a 5th gen vti-R manual... i love her...)

BUt like I said, have you heard of one failing locally? The only one I've heard of was in an early H22 Accord, and when I spoke to the owner about it, I asked about the service records. His responce was "service...records?" Apparantly nobody told him that his obligations were more than filling the tank with petrol.

I have herd of a couple failing in the US... And they are the same tranny and made in the same plant I think so I imagine it effects AUDM cars as much as JDM, EDM and USDM derived Preludes...?

My old boss had one fail on him, and it was just after he bought the car (im in Melbourne). 2k down the hole, was a 1997 VTi-R and then a friend of a friend with a 99 VTi-R in Sydney had the same problem.

i've seen 4-5 auto prelude vtir trans fail in south east melbourne in the last 3 years, which is certainly worse than the average honda auto but is certainly not as bad as 98 accords, hrvs, 1st gen jazz etc
another thing when buying a h22a prelude is to confirm the cambelt+balance belt replacement history. if you are unsure CHANGE it as i've seen a 3 overdue belts snap in the last few years

Thanks panda,
proof from someone who works at a Honda dealer that the prelude VTi-R trannies fail.
As opposed to a bus driver from adelaide who thinks he knows everything because he owns one.

^You thought you knew everything because you have a high post count and heard some stuff from your aunts brothers sisters uncle
Back on topic, i frequent the Prelude specific Prelude Australia website regularly and despite talk of the supposed "failing" of V-TIR boxes i am yet to hear of one happening to a Prelude owner. I am just recounting my opinion and and what i have heard (much like yourfather) but i wont go abusing people who disagree with what i say. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. But abusin people for their opinion is just not on.
