Transmission slipping?
It's low on fluid and I haven't really had it changed so will it probably need to be rebuilt? It's an automatic Honda accord 1997!
Add fluid first, but chances are pretty good it will need rebuilt, before you put out the money for a rebuild then get a fair bluebook value price.
Refill and try it. If it acts o.k then find the leak and repair it. Honda is a drain and fill only. It has a filter but its internal and to replace that you would need pull transmission apart
Add some fluid and see if it still slips. If it doesn't still slip, you will have to find and fix the leak.
Try filling the right amount of the RIGHT TYPE of fluid before you go buy a new transmission. It may only need tightening up. Check the drain plug and cooler lines if you don't see leaking in other places such as the transmission pan. If the pan leaks, it will need a new gasket.
It's well worth draining and replacing the old fluid with fresh. If there's a filter in the system, clean or replace that too. Transmission fluid does actually wear out. It loses viscosity and this can result in malfunction.
Their might be a leak, but I'd check with your mechanic
When any automatic transmission slips it needs rebuilding or replacing.
It is yes
Transmission slipping - low on fluid
- 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
- 1982 cm250 slipping gears, and not getting the right speed out of each gear? I have a 1982 honda cm250 bike. I recently had the motor rebuilt with new shift forks, etc. I got the bike back and it's doing this issue ( the same issue as when I took it into the shop). I was told that these are common issues with that year motor. I'm having a hard time believing this, as people say it is a great beginner bike.
- Can a auto transmission that is slipping cause my car to have problem starting? I have a honda civic 98 my transmission started slipping and for some reason my car starts and then when I turn it off it won't start again I would have to wait a couple of minutes. I just put in a new starter. So I don't know if my tranny is causing it to not start. Anyone can help me thanks in advance.
- 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
