I have a 2002 and a family member has a 2001. The 2001 had the tranny go at about 104k. After much harrassment, Honda corporate covered it under warranty, but it was only 5 years old at the time and there was a silent warranty to 100k.
We have had our 2002 for 4 years and it hasn't had transmission issues yet, but only has 97k on it. We bought it certified used for that reason, but the extended warranty has expired at this point so we would be on our own for repairs. It did have the transmission service for the recall when we bought it at about 35,000mi.
We have only had a couple of minor items beyond routine service in the last 4 years - idle control something and a transmission pressure switch. Each was less than $400. There was also one warranty repair that escapes me, but it wasn't a big deal - oxygen sensor, maybe?
