This is one of those decisions no one can make for you . First get some estimates on a rebuilt transmission ( You do not want a used one from a 18 year old salvage car ) . Then decide if the expense is worth it for you.

Tough one. Those were good cars. The trans in my '03 Accord V6 went and there was a later class action settlement. You may want to look into that. The Accord was on of the many vehicles Honda had transmission problems with. [Here is a good place to do some research](https://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Accord/2000/):

I replaced the transmission in my 97 Accord with a used one two years ago.

The transmission cost $300.00. But my labor was free.
