1993 honda Transmission adjustment or replacement?
Hi, I have a 1993 honda accord automatic with almost 191,000 miles on it. I just got the car running after it had been sitting for quite sometime (unknown exactly) about 2-3 years at minimum. (Automatic transmission) When I put it in drive there's a short delay in the trans about 4 secs and then when it accelerates it varies on when It will shift making the car shake and stutter or rev up to about 3-4 Rpm's. What I have been doing when it does this is just trying to lightly shift it by releasing and then pressuring the gas gently until I feel the shift over. It does this for any gear switching depending on how fast I'm going. In my opinion I was assuming a flush and fill as well as filter change might help but I'm unsure any thoughts?
Sat for minimum of 2 years? Wow. OK, so every rubber seal and O-ring in the transmission has a flat spot on it from sitting so long, fluid is leaking past where it shouldn't internally. Go to the auto-parts store and get some Swell-a-Seal, which is basically just lacquer thinner. This will soften the rubber parts, MAYBE without destroying them. Put in half of what package calls for, drive for a week ( not too far ), if it helps some, fine. If not, put in the rest and cross your fingers. If it works, drain the trans., change the filter and re-fill w/ Ford Type F transmission fluid, that is the "coarsest" readily available fluid and will improve shifts. Best of luck.
- What is a Valve Adjustment? I'm looking at getting an 01 Honda Prelude this month and valve adjustment keeps coming up when people discuss this car and other cars as well. What is this? Does it cost a lot to do, and is it important?
- 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
- Motorcycle idle adjustment? I'm new to riding bikes. I have a honda vf700s, and when i first picked it up its idle was around 2k. Which is too high, but it ran mint so i kept it thee. Now its idleing at 3,000! I really need to adjust it but i don't know how, and of you guys know how?
- 2007 Honda Element with 64k, owner's manual says 110k for valve adjustment. How can one size fit all without knowing how I drive? No issues with the car but some say if the engine is noisy it is time to adjust the valves, others say just the opposite, if the engine is quiet the valves are too tight and need adjusting. Any one want to give some opinions?
