The 2002 Honda Accord, A Quick Refresher

The 2002 model year was the final year of the 6th generation Honda Accord (1998 to 2002). The Accord offered:

  • 2.3-liter SOHC VTEC Inline-4 engine (F23) producing approximately 150 hp
  • 3.0-liter SOHC VTEC V6 engine (J30A1) producing approximately 200 hp
  • 4-speed automatic transmission as the dominant choice (BAXA for 4-cyl, MAXA for V6)
  • 5-speed manual transmission as an option (separate listing required if you need manual)
  • Front-wheel drive sedan and coupe body styles
  • Comfortable interior with strong reliability reputation

2002 Accord Automatic Transmission Variants

There are two main 4-speed automatic transmission variants for the 2002 Accord, and the correct variant depends on which engine your Accord has:

DetailDescription
BAXAFor 2.3L F23 4-cylinder Accord. Standard duty 4-speed automatic with approximately 150-170 lb-ft torque capacity. Used in 1998-2002 Accord 4-cyl, plus some Acura applications.
MAXAFor 3.0L J30A1 V6 Accord. Strengthened 4-speed automatic with approximately 200 lb-ft torque capacity. Used in 1998-2002 Accord V6.
MPYARelated V6 variant used in some years; functionally interchangeable with MAXA in most applications but confirm casting code before installation.

Tell us your Accord engine when you order, 4-cylinder or V6, and we ship the matching variant.

Features of the 2002 Honda Accord Automatic Transmission

  • Engine Pairing: The transmission is purpose-matched to either the F23 2.3-liter SOHC VTEC Inline-4 (BAXA variant) or the J30A1 3.0-liter SOHC VTEC V6 (MAXA / MPYA variant). The variants are NOT interchangeable.
  • Speeds: 4 forward gears plus reverse, with electronically controlled hydraulic shifting and torque converter lockup on top gear for fuel efficiency.
  • Shift Pattern: Standard Honda automatic shift gate, "P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1" allowing manual gear hold when needed for grade hill descents or engine braking.
  • Fluid Type: Originally specified for Honda Genuine ATF-Z1, which has since been superseded by Honda ATF-DW1 (DW1 is backward-compatible with Z1 applications). Do NOT use Dexron/Mercon-spec ATF as this can cause shift quality issues and accelerated wear in Honda automatic transmissions.
  • Fluid Capacity: 7.6 quarts total system fill (when transmission is fully drained), or approximately 2.5 to 3 quarts for a standard drain-and-fill service through the pan drain plug.
  • Weight: Approximately 130 to 150 lbs (dry), making the transmission a manageable swap with appropriate engine support equipment and a transmission jack.

Vehicle Compatibility, This Transmission Fits

The 2002 Honda Accord transmission is designed specifically for the 6th generation Accord chassis (1998 to 2002):

  • 1998 Honda Accord (4-cyl and V6 variants)
  • 1999 Honda Accord (4-cyl and V6 variants)
  • 2000 Honda Accord (4-cyl and V6 variants)
  • 2001 Honda Accord (4-cyl and V6 variants)
  • 2002 Honda Accord (4-cyl and V6 variants, this listing's primary application)

Some BAXA and MAXA variants are also cross-compatible with related Honda / Acura chassis. Contact us with your specific year and chassis if you're considering a cross-application.

Engine Compatibility, This Transmission Pairs With

  • F23 2.3-liter SOHC VTEC Inline-4 (the 4-cylinder 2002 Accord engine) , uses BAXA
  • J30A1 3.0-liter SOHC VTEC V6 (the V6 2002 Accord engine) , uses MAXA / MPYA

Note: Engines like K20, K24, J35 are NOT 2002 Accord engines. K-series came into the Accord starting in 2003 (7th generation Accord). J35 is the 3.5L V6 used in later Accords and Pilots. If you have a 2003+ Accord, you need a different transmission.

Here at Vaz Auto Solutions, you'll find the 2002 Honda Accord transmission for sale at the perfect price. Grab onto it if you desire a reliable, smooth-shifting ride for your 6th gen Accord.

Signs You Need a Replacement 2002 Honda Accord Transmission

  • Rough or delayed shifting (especially the 1-2 or 2-3 shift)
  • Torque converter shudder at highway speeds (a documented 6th gen Accord issue)
  • Slipping out of gear under load or when accelerating
  • Transmission fluid leaks (pan gasket, axle seals, output shaft seal)
  • Warning lights on the dashboard (check engine light or transmission warning light)
  • Unusual noises (whining, grinding, growling) during gear changes
  • Burned transmission fluid smell (overheated transmission)
  • Limp mode (transmission stuck in one gear)
  • Loss of reverse gear
  • Loss of overdrive (4th gear) engagement
  • Donor 2002 Accord totaled and the transmission is being moved to another Accord

Common 2002 Accord Transmission Maintenance Considerations

  • Honda ATF-DW1 only: Use Honda ATF-DW1 (or the older ATF-Z1 if you can still find it). Do NOT use Dexron/Mercon-spec ATF.
  • Drain and fill every 30,000 miles: A simple drain-and-fill (NOT a power flush, which can dislodge debris that clogs valve body passages) is the recommended Honda service interval.
  • 3rd gear clutch concern: The 6th gen Accord 4-speed automatic has a documented 3rd gear clutch wear point at high mileage. Fluid changes help, but eventually the 3rd gear clutch wears out.
  • Pressure switch concern: The line pressure switch can fail at high mileage, causing erratic shifting and limp mode.
  • Torque converter shudder: A documented 6th gen Accord concern; fresh ATF-DW1 sometimes resolves mild cases, severe cases require torque converter replacement.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 2002 Honda Accord transmission fits 6th generation Accord chassis (1998 to 2002):

VehicleCompatibility
1998 to 2002 Honda Accord, 4-Cylinder (F23 engine)Use BAXA variant
1998 to 2002 Honda Accord, V6 (J30A1 engine)Use MAXA (or MPYA) variant

For 2003+ Accord (7th generation onward) you need a different transmission, since Honda transitioned to 5-speed automatics paired with K-series and J-series engines. Confirm your Accord year and engine before ordering.
