1998 HONDA PRELUDE W/ SEQUENTIAL SHIFT AUTOMATIC. THE VEHICLE HAS 135,000 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED. AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND MANY PEOPLE REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I EVEN FOUND THAT HONDA HAS RECALLED THE PRELUDE'S IN TURKEY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT HAS NOT IN THE US. THE REPAIRS COST APPROXIMATELY $2,800. WHY WAS THIS RECALL FACILITATED ON THE SAME VEHICLE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, BUT NOT IN THE US? *TR
