I made several posts to the Yahoo CRV Newsgroup page back in August.
The original post is #1734, you can check the archives if your really
interested.

I just wanted to let anyone interested know that the problem finally
is fixed. It took 7 months but it's fixed. Honda replaced the
transmission. The total cost for the job was $3700.00. My cost was
$350.00 and Honda picked up the rest. I guess the moral of the story
is to talk with American Honda Customer Service when you can't get
satisfaction from the dealership because some dealerships just don't
care.
BTW: The same time my wife had her CRV in the shop there was another
CRV there which was also getting the transmission replaced. I still
think anyone with an early model CRV should be aware of the marginal
automatic transmission in the CRV.
