I've had the same same problem on my 01 V6 Accord. I had about 120K
miles on mine as well and I was unaware of the warranty extension
(somewhat to my dismay when I did find out later). I do not think the
extension was large enough in terms of miles to cover it anyways. At
first the dealer****p wanted about $3500 but then they matched a $2800
quote from a small transmission repair shop.
I have a friend who has an Accura plagued by the same transmission
problems and having received a similar extension. He's had to replace
the transmission multiple times. The last time he had to replace it
he was outside of the extension, but after some negotiations, the
dealer****p convinced the manufacturer to provide the parts for free
and my buddy only had to pay for labor. That's the path I'd take if I
had to deal with this issue again.
