    1992 CB7 in severe conditions.... Asking for help....

    Hey guys... I was recommended by one of the members over at hondatech and he suggest me to post this here to see if i can get some help. I bought a 92 CB7 automatic for winter use and i've been having some problems lately. I hope you guys can help me out.

    Problems :

    1. The car makes a "cluck cluck cluck" sound when i'm making slow sharp left and right turns. More when i make a left turn. The loudest when i'm in a parking lot going from one aisle to another or when i'm trying to park.
    Have replaced drive shaft and tie rods lately. Check cv joints and other suspension parts and nothing looks unusual.

    2. Biggest problem of all. My car skips gears. Its really really weird.

    Things that happen
    When i'm at a full stop at the light and when i hit the gas to go, it does have first gear but it skips to 3rd right away. When i do a rolling stop the car will not go back down to 1st, and will accelerate on 2nd and then go to 3rd and stays there. When i'm on the highway i'm going 110km/h my car will be at over 3k rpm, and i tried going 3rd gear and 4th gear but it does nothing so i automatically assume its only staying on 3rd gear because of the high rpm.
    And then tonight when i'm driving home from work, i realized my tranny is normal. Goes from 1st to 2nd to 3rd then to 4th. It was fine the whole time until i hit the first speed hump on my street. Those ones that are slightly high unlike the speed bumps. After going through the speed hump, my car suddenly lost the gears like i described above.

    Things that i think it might be related???

    1.On a cold car when i shift from park to D its really hard to pull the shifter down. After its warmed up, it'll go back to normal. Could this affect it?
    2.When i'm going through bumps, it feels like theres something in my engine bay is moving. It makes a creaking sound. When i go through speed bumps in parking lot and i avoid half the bump so i go through the bump with my right side and it still makes that sound on the left.
    3.I have already replaced a broken front engine mount.
    4. already replaced driver side drive shaft
    5. Will the driver side engine mount relate to my problems?
    6. will the shifter linkage cause this?
    7. one of my friends told me it might be the center shaft????
    8. I basically need a new tranny

    Other then those problems, i absolutely love this car. I actually like driving this then driving a civic. Car's body is still in good shape and all the electrical still works. Good gas mileage too...

    Thanks a lot for anyones input. I really want to fix this so i can keep driving it and don't have to sell or scrap it cuz i can't afford buying another car.

    If i posted this in the wrong section, i'll appologize now and please move this to the correct forum, thanks mods.

    Creaking sound and "something moving in engine bay"....most likely engine mount. I know you replaced one so check the others. Get in the car, put it in drive and give it some gas while pressing on the brake pedal to prevent the car from moving....and at the same time, have a friend examining the engine for excessive movement/noise/creaking with the hood popped up. Just make sure he is looking at the engine bay from the side of the car just in case you let go of the brakes and run him/her over.

    To help your transmission shift better, first flush the fluid (drain and fill, drive 15 min, then drain and fill agian to get the old stuff out) with Honda ATF. It should make the shifts smoother. If you still have the problem, then clean/replace the small filters and gaskets behind the shift control solenoid and lock up control solenoids. Download the service manual from hondahookup.com and look under the "Transaxle-Automatic" section for detailed diagrams/pictures that show where they are exactly located.

    The clicking noise when turning is usually driveshafts or cv joints. Did you use quality parts when replacing them?

      How did you check the cv joints? You're supposed to put it in reverse then turn the wheel to full lock and go. If you hear clicking then it's your cv joint on that side

      See if your TCU is throwing any codes. There's a section titled "Read me first", that'll tell you how.

      This makes me think the cable is getting sticky. I don't know how to fix it though. One time I tried to put a large soda in the drink holders. I started driving and it spilled all down my shifter assembly. Afterwards it was difficult to shift, But eventually went away.

      I have a similar problem, but mine is a rattle. I'm going to watch the comments to see if somebody can solve it.

          Ive got a question about my trans too. It shifts fine when divin normal but when I get on it I have to let off the gas for it to shift or it red lines. What could cause that or is that normal.

            different gears are selected by different clutch packs which are controlled by shift solenoids. if one of the solenoids are going bad then it's not going to allow you to go into that specific gear.

            the "default" for each transmissions are the ones that needs the least amount of work or clutch pack engagments.
