    Transmission acting strange

    90 accord Ex auto
    My car was working fine one day. The next morning I started it didn't want to go into gear at all (stock in park). I could have driven it if I had use the KEY lock to move the shift into Drive, but it was sluggish in D4. When I put it in first gear it move sluggish until I get pass 2000 RPMS. The next problem is that i could only use 3 and 1 because 4 and 2 wouldn't shift to the next gear, so I had to shit it manually jump to 3 from first. I had my dad take it home and check it out. My brother drove it and he was only able to use 1 and 3 to get back to savannah from atlanta. Today my dad drove it and he said that he shifts normal now.
    WTF. car again

              I had the same problem last week...changed my shift solenoid and works great! When it gets stuck in park, that means your lock solenoid is toast...and when its not shifting correctly, most likely your shift solenoid is toast. So sounds like both your solenoids are bad. Kinda pricey to get brand new...around $150 per solenoid. Sometimes you can get lucky and get one at the junkyard but good luck. I have the lock solenoid for sale right now check the link in my sig. Good Luck

                  Well guys you were right. I had my dad check on it for me since I was carless and he brought his to me.

                  The oil was black as hell and man does the transmission drive better. I am getting a better feel from the engine. Gass milage is went back up to where is it should be 17-20 miles city
                  thanks

                    I am having a similar problem with the new transmission I installed. The car runs great and the transmission fluid is perfect because I just put in 6 new quarts of Honda ATF when I installed it. The D4 light is blinking and I pulled the code and it was a code 7...TPS sensor is faulty. When I shift it to 1, it still seems like it starts out in 2nd and will shift fine when I manually shift from 2nd to 3rd then to D4...When I put it in D4, it feels like it shifts from 1st to 3rd at around 25 mph (around 3k rpm). I was thinking the TCU was bad but I guess I need to replace the TPS before I do that. Any other suggestions?

                      Im having a similar problem... except i don't have a blinking light. just that D4 stays on no matter what position the shifter is in. I replaced the shifter solenoid. and got a tranny flush today. also i was driving on the highway and all of a sudden the only gear i had was 3rd. so i pulled over and shut it off. started it up again and it was fine...so tranny seems to be fine. not too sure what the problem is...any ideas? this only happens periodicly. not all the time

                        Maybe the TCU? I am in the Navy and work in electronics and sometimes the only way to correct a problem in a system is to shut it down and start it back up....maybe that is what is happening with your tranny. Electronics are funny like that...good luck and I will definately keep watching this thread...

                          so is there a way to reset my TCU? or should I just replace it?

                            ^^ Id try disconnecting your battery and clearing everything.

                            I too have been having tranny problems. I drained and refilled with honda ATF because of rough downshifting into overdrive and it helped alot but theres still a slight jerk. And it does it the worst during the day when its hot but in the mornings it shifts smooth. Should I drain and refill 2-3 times like Iv heard? Or is my gear all f*cked up? Anyone?
