1999 Honda Passport Questions
I bought a 99 Passport with 75K on it (yes I know it is an Isuzu) but
I got it for the right price. I am noticing a slight hesitation that seems to be drivetrain related. It is almost like something is engaging and disengaging at the very end of a stop and very beginning of moving. The best way to describe it is like there is a bowling ball rolling back an forth in a box. There is no audible clunk, it is just something you can feel slightly. The transmission is not slipping. I actually had it checked out at a local auto shop, they gave it clear marks and I asked them to pay attention to the transmission. Has anyone ever experienced this? Also, I am noticing what I think is wheel bounce after hitting a bump. I am guessing that is a shock absorber issue. One final question, is there any easy way to tell if the timing chain has been changed? Thanks for your help. |

If it's tranny related, is the fluid full / right color / smelling OK? If the tranny was built by Honda, you have to use Honda Z1 ATF. I'd do a drain-n-fill on the tranny (twice), since you don't really know if it's ever been changed. Make sense? 'Curly' |
