96 Accord auto trans problems
I have a 96 Accord LX with automatic transmission. Has 4 cyl and 115K miles
on it. Drained and replaced the trans fluid 1 1/2 months ago with Honda auto trans fluid. Tonight while driving home city/highway it would not go faster than 30 mph (3k rpm's) and prior to this some major slipping like the clutches were not biting into anything (rpm fluxed with no increase in speed)or had no trans fluid in the transmission. After the slippage the engine lite came on. The fluid is at the proper level and does not smell burnt. Any ideas? Thanks Greyhound |

If you drain the fluid I would suspect you will find it to look dark. It may not look that bad on the dipstick. I am guesing that the failure is causing your car to "flare" out of a higher gear into the one below it (1rst or 2nd) which is limiting your speed and causing the high RPMS and neutral-like feeling. FYI your trans has no "bands", only clutch packs. Toyota MDT in MO |
