A few problems, 98 accord v6 coupe
 
I have a 98 accord v6 coupe and had a few issues mostly brought up from a "Free" check engine light diagnosis.

Power steering pump: Loud whining when making sharp turns. Fluid is fine.

Check engine light is on. Nothing obvious, AAMCO wants 130 dollars to diagnose. Couldn't diagnose it from their free check.

They recommended that I change tranny fluid. I bought it at 182k miles, at 200k now. Don't see any record of previous changes.

Front motor mount: Lots of vibration when maintaining a lower speed (25-35). RPMs drop and the car wobbles in this situation.

Caught a friend's fingers in the passenger automatic window and now it won't close all the way. Clunks when I try to close it all the way (have to close the last quarter inch manually). Need to know how to realign it.

Thanks!

welcome to the forum. will try to answer some of your questions.
p/s pump whine on turn with fine fluid, pump gears worn, replace pump when possible.
ck eng light on, try another place to get code to tell you where to start ( autozone, pepboys, kragen ) call first to see if they do this for free.
Fluid change is good, do a trans flush, 98-2003 accord trans are known to have problems if not cared for properly.
eng mt chg is good
wobbel from front could be rotor warp, wheel alighnment, tire worn bad--- rotate tires first front to back. if wobble when driving 25-35 step on brakes lightly and see if wobble is worst, if so rotors may be warped.
gonna have to do some research for window not going up all the way. Bet your friend won't put his fingers in any auto windows anymore!!!
