Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    1992 wagon, need transmission help.

    New to the forum, and have searched for hours but cant seem to find anything related to my issue.

    I have a 1992 accord wagon, EX trim, and its having transmission troubles. Its an auto trans, and I don't know enough about it to know where to look next.

    The issue: on cold start up, it shifts just fine into and out of any gear, and will drive for a short while (about 5 minutes) but then it acts as if it was in neutral no matter where the gear selector is. if I shut off the engine and restart it, it will continue not going into gear. If I shut it off for about an hour, It will go into gear fine for about 5 minutes again.

    I have checked fuses, replaced both sets of solenoids with ones that work, replaced the TCU, and changed out the fluid. When I drained the old fluid out, It was a dark, cloudy purple color, didn't smell burnt but didn't look right either.

    I have checked for any codes as well, but my D4 light doesn't stay on, and when I jumper the test connection it doesn't flash any codes. same with the CEL.

    I am at a loss as to what my next move is, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. if I need to post more details or any questions, please ask.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can chime in.

    How many miles? How much debris was on the magnetic drain plug? How many times did you drain/refill it? If you only drained and filled it once, you only changed about 42&#37; of the fluid. You would need to drain and refill two more times (with a little driving in between) to have about 80% new fluid. Use Honda fluid.

      the car has 290K on it. the drain plug was very clean, surprisingly, given the state the fluid was in. I drained and refilled 4 times to be on the safe side since 3 was recommended, and since I couldn't drive between each change I shifted through the gears and let things warm up before draining.

        Sounds like debris clogging up, and then settling when you let it sit.
