What's wrong with my transmission?
Ok so I have a 2002 Honda Accord EX V6 and this morning I started noticing something wrong with my transmission because the D4 was flashing. Normally when I drive from a complete stop it shifts normally and shifts twice to get to about 42 mph. But today it shifted from 1st gear at a high RPM and when I tried to get it to shift into second gear it wouldn't shift to second. And normally when I'm driving at 55 mph and I put my car in cruise control the RPM stats at about 1600-1800RPM. But when I did it today it stayed at 3,000 RPM. I have an automatic transmission. Can anybody tell me what's wrong?
It means you need to take it in and have it looked at. It seems you are having tranny issue. And be prepared to fork out some big dough. Tranny works are not cheap.
First thing is check your transmission fluid. Google for pictures to find where it's at.
If it looks low, add to the "full" line but don't go beyond that. More is not better.
Also, check under the car for signs of fluid leaking. If you see signs of leaking, take it to a mechanic. If you continue to drive it while leaking and damage it, it will cost you about 1k to replace.
Christ, you're welcome.
Flashing means a code in the system. Find local shop at ATRA.COM for more help. Honda's have problems with transmissions from 98-07. This could be something as simple as a bad solenoid. The shop will let you know what's wrong and a estimate to repair
Probably a shift solenoid. You need to either take it to the dealer or a good transmission shop so they can plug in their code reader.
- Transmission going out on friend's 2004 Impala. Is it possible to install a manual transmission taken from a 1992 Honda Civic in this car? Not worth replacing trans on a car this old, but the engine and everything else are still perfect. My friend was able to get a free manual trans from a 1992 Honda Civic. But i'm not sure whether or not you can use a trans from a different vehicle
- Trailer hitch install gone wrong? So i have a 2008 honda crv. I had a trailer hitch installed at the place i rented my uhaul before i moved to florida 5 months ago. Now i'm having electrical problems and 1000 dollars later in repairs. The honda dealership has come to the conclusion that the trailer install is the cause and is removing the whole tow package which is another 200. Is there anything i can do about the last shop messing my car up?
- Can you put a 7 speed manual transmission in a car that comes stock with a 4 or 5 speed manual transmission? I'm just curious to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it. I wany to know what is possible to get the most out of a car. I'm probably going to be getting an acura(no hondas) and doing the necessary upgrades, turbo and all that. If anyone has any experience let me know
