Transmission
I always took good care of my Honda Accord, but last night the transmission
wouldn't lock in at all. First there was a jerk and then the car wouldn't move. I let it sit for a few seconds and then it would lock-in and move. Sometimes it goes and sometimes it doesn't. I always kept the fluid changed and this is the first problem I ever had a problem. This is '92 model with 200,000 miles. The engine still run smooth and saves gas. Does anyone knows how to check the auto transmission to see if it is a minor problem? If this is a costly problem, then I will just buy a new car since it has too many miles. Thanks, Al |

Are you driving it, and what 'tricks' do you have to do to make it go? Have you checked your dash indicators to be sure they aren't trying to tell you something? The instructions are in the owner's manual. It's called the 'lamp check'. 'Curly' |

I suspect that yours is due for a complete rebuild. John |

I know a few Accord owners who put close to 300K miles on the original auto tranny. In this case, it may be something minor like the transmission control unit. |

How full / what color is the tranny fluid if you wipe the dipstick stick
> on a sheet of paper? The fluid lever is perfect and the color looks like new fluid with a pinkish look. I change my fluid every 30k miles. Are you driving it, and what 'tricks' do you have > to do to make it go? This happen last night, but I just took it around the block to see if it would work and there seems to be no problem. This is weird because I know that something is wrong with it! There was no trick to get it to work last night. The transmission did what ever it wanted to do. One time there was no reverse. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I barely made it home. Now I can here winding noises is coming from the transmission. This never happen before. Have you checked your dash indicators to be sure > they aren't trying to tell you something? The instructions are in the > owner's manual. It's called the 'lamp check'. Oh yeah......yesterday, a check engine light came-on for the first time in history, but the lamp with-out about a minute later.
