CAN I DRIVE WITH A BLOWN OUT TRANSMISSION?
I have a 98 honda prelude automatic, brand new transmission and engine. This morning the D4 light started flashing, check engine light came on, and the speedometer kept spinning (I was on the freeway). When I start to drive it jumps a little. Do I have to get a new transmission or can it be fixed without replacing it? How much would it cost? & can I still drive the car?
Lol. "Blown out" is not a diagnosis, but OBVIOUSLY something is wrong. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR unless you want to cause further damage, genius. HAVE IT TOWED back to the idiots who allegedly put in a "new" (actually rebuilt at best) transmission and make them fix it correctly. Did you really even need to ask this question? Sheesh.
You should not attempt to drive a vehicle with a messed up transmission. Doing so will only cause more problems, and cause safety problems for you. Have it TOWED to the place that replaced the engine / transmission and have them fix their work. It should still be under warranty for both parts and labor.
Your tranny, s hooped
- Why is it that some husbands let their wives drive luxury cars while they drive ordinary cars? I've been observing some of my neighbors (one of them is a stay at home mom) and the husbands drive ordinary cars like Honda Accord or Honda Pilot. But the wives tend to drive luxury cars like Acura TSX or Acura RDX (some form of luxury car). What is the reason for this? Why do wives get to drive luxury cars while the husband drives ordinary car? I should say some of them. Its not a problem though but was only curious. The neighbors are Asians actually.
- 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
