1998 Used Honda Transmissions For Sale

1998 sits on two generation lines at once. It is the first year of the sixth-generation Accord, so a 1997 Accord takes a different unit entirely, and it is the last year of the first-generation four-cylinder Odyssey, so the 1999 V6 van shares nothing with the one listed here. Every unit on this page is a stepped automatic or a manual — Honda sold no CVT in this year. Text your VIN and we confirm in writing which of the 11 units fits before you pay.

Why Buy a 1998 Honda Transmission from Auto Power Source

Every 1998 Honda transmission we list is a real unit on a real shelf, inspected and recorded before it goes on the site. We do not list a gearbox we cannot put our hands on, and the count at the top of this page is the live count of units in stock today, not a catalogue of what the model year could theoretically carry.

Two model boundaries run through 1998 and both of them bite. The Accord changed to its sixth generation this year, so a 1997 Accord is a different car with a different transaxle. The Odyssey went the other way: 1998 is the last of the narrow four-cylinder van, and the 1999 Odyssey is a 3.5L V6 vehicle that shares no driveline with it. A listing that spans 1997-2002 Accords or 1995-2004 Odysseys is describing more than one part.

The Civic in 1998 came in several specifications off the same 1.6L SOHC engine, and we hold four of them: the VTEC automatic, the natural-gas GX automatic, and the Base manual in both coupe and sedan listings. Each is geared for its own car. A unit that bolts up is not the same thing as a unit that is right, and your VIN tells us which one you have.

The Prelude Type SH is kept as its own part, not a Base Prelude with a badge. It carries the ATTS torque-steering front unit and does not interchange with the Base car in either direction. The Passport is the other outlier — an Isuzu-built, body-on-frame 4x4 with a longitudinal gearbox that shares nothing with the transverse units in the rest of the 1998 line-up.

Everything ships with the same warranty and the same money-back terms as the rest of our catalogue, and our ASE-certified technicians confirm the match against your VIN before a unit leaves the shelf. Text +1-307-441-5554, call 1-877-313-8995, or email info@autopowersource.com and we answer with the specific unit, not a maybe.

Your 1998 Honda Transmission Options: Compared

Most 1998 Honda owners face four real choices when the transmission fails:

← Swipe sideways to see all columns →
Option Cost Reliability Warranty Fitment Match
Used OEM (this collection) $$$ Best Value High — tested Included VIN-matched
New OEM (dealer) $$$$$ 2-4× more High Manufacturer Exact
Aftermarket / Reman $$$$ Varies 6-12 mo May adapt
Junkyard $ Cheapest Unknown None DIY

Tested used OEM hits the sweet spot — same engineering as new, fraction of the cost.

1998 Honda Transmission Buying Guide

5 things to verify before buying a used 1998 Honda transmission:

  1. Settle automatic or manual first. Every 1998 Honda unit we hold is listed as AT or MT, and that is the hardest line in the catalogue. The bell housing, the mounts and the shift provision all change. If you are not certain which your car left the factory with, your VIN answers it.
  2. On an Accord, check the generation. 1998 is the first sixth-generation Accord. A 1997 car is the previous generation and takes a different unit, so a seller offering a single part for both years is guessing.
  3. On an Odyssey, check the engine, not the year span. The 1998 van is the last four-cylinder Odyssey. The 1999 van moved to a 3.5L V6 on an unrelated transaxle, so the two are separate parts despite being consecutive model years.
  4. Treat Prelude Type SH as its own part. The Type SH carries the ATTS torque-steering front unit. It is not a Base Prelude gearbox with a different badge, and the two do not interchange in either direction.
  5. Confirm the match with your own VIN before you order. Your VIN settles the transmission code, drivetrain and build split in one step. Text it to +1-307-441-5554 and we will confirm in writing exactly which unit fits your vehicle before you pay.

Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any unit ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many 1998 Honda transmissions do you have in stock?
Eleven, as of this page's last inventory refresh: four Civic units, three Prelude, and one each for the Accord, CR-V, Odyssey and Passport. The number in the header is the live active count, not a model-year catalogue.
Are any 1998 Honda transmissions CVTs?
No. Honda sold no CVT in the 1998 line-up we stock, so every unit on this page is either a conventional stepped automatic or a manual gearbox. If a listing elsewhere offers you a 1998 Honda CVT, it is not one of these vehicles.
Will a 1997 Accord transmission fit my 1998 Accord?
No. 1998 is the first year of the sixth-generation Accord and the 1997 car is the generation before it, with its own transaxle. The model years are consecutive but the parts are not interchangeable.
Is the 1998 Odyssey transmission the same as the 1999?
No, and this is the most common mix-up on this page. The 1998 Odyssey is the first-generation four-cylinder van; the 1999 is the second-generation 3.5L V6. They share no driveline, so a listing covering both is describing two different parts.
What does "Japan built" mean on the Accord listing?
It is the build origin stated on that unit. Sixth-generation Accords were assembled in more than one plant and the listing records which one this gearbox came from, so we can match it rather than guess. Your VIN confirms which build your car is.
Do you have a 1998 Civic Base automatic?
Not in current stock. The 1998 Civic units we hold are the VTEC automatic, the CNG automatic, and the Base manual in coupe and sedan. Text your VIN and we will source the Base automatic if that is what you need.
Is the Passport transmission a Honda part?
Mechanically it is Isuzu. The 1998 Passport is a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo with a longitudinal, body-on-frame driveline, so its gearbox shares nothing with the transverse units in the Civic, Accord, CR-V, Prelude or Odyssey.
What warranty comes with a 1998 Honda transmission?
The same warranty and money-back terms as every other unit we ship, with the coverage stated in writing before you pay. Our ASE-certified technicians verify the unit against your VIN first. Call 1-877-313-8995 or email info@autopowersource.com for the written terms.

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process

Every 1998 Honda transmission we ship has been through these six steps:

1. VIN-Matching
We match the donor VIN to your VIN to confirm the case code, engine pairing, and FWD vs AWD transfer output.
2. Tested & Verified
ASE-certified technicians Shift-Test every gear under load. CVT units get a fluid-condition and belt inspection; 2003–2009 V6 automatics are checked for torque-converter shudder.
3. Noise & Smoke Verification
Units are run to verify normal mechanical sound and clean operation — catches internal wear static tests miss.
4. Visual Inspection
Every accessible component is inspected: turbos, manifolds, valve covers, housings, accessories, sensor harnesses.
5. Photograph & Catalog
Multi-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship for your approval.
6. Palletize & Ship
Strapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.

Our Photos-Before-Shipment Guarantee

Before any transmission leaves our warehouse, we send you multi-angle photographs. You approve. If you do not approve, you get every dollar back — no questions, no restocking fees, no return freight charges. On top of 30-day money-back and the warranty included with every unit.
