What transmission does a 2004 Honda Accord have?

The 2004 Honda Accord offered different transmissions depending on the engine: four-cylinder models could be paired with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, while V6 models came with a 5-speed automatic only.


Engine options in the 2004 Accord


In 2004, Honda offered two main engines for the Accord. The transmission choices depended on which engine you had, with the 4-cylinder enjoying both manual and automatic options and the V6 restricted to an automatic transmission.


Four-cylinder transmission choices


For the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, buyers could select either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission.



  • 5-speed manual

  • 4-speed automatic


These options provided a balance between a more engaging driving experience (manual) and convenient daily driving (automatic).


V6 transmission choices


The 3.0-liter V6 was offered with a 5-speed automatic transmission only, with no manual option available for this engine in the 2004 lineup.



  • 5-speed automatic


This configuration was standard for most V6-equipped trims of that year, emphasizing smooth power delivery.


Markets and trims notes


Transmission availability could vary by trim level or regional market. If you are evaluating a used 2004 Accord, verify the exact configuration via the VIN, the owner's manual, or a trusted vehicle history source to confirm the specific transmission setup for that car.


Summary


In brief, the 2004 Honda Accord’s transmission options depended on the engine: 4-cylinder models offered both a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic, while V6 models used a 5-speed automatic exclusively. For precise specifications on a given vehicle, checking the VIN or documentation is recommended.
