I swear if its got tits or wheels its gonna give you problems really applys to automatic trannys, usually rough and weird shifts are caused by the tranny computer, this is why I like 3g accords better that dont have the TCU

I had a similar problem once but what happened is that my trans kickdown cable snapped. Once i fixed that everything was all good.. so take a look at that cable and see if its still on.

all right thx alot ima go look at my cables and then the tcu.

lol my dad is telling me its the soleniod.

(On computer controlled transmissions, you will also have electrical solenoids that are mounted in the valve body to direct fluid to the appropriate clutch packs or bands under computer control to more precisely control shift points.)

thats true mine wouldn't shift because a piece of the tranny got stuck in one of the valve body's and made it shift erraticly. I would do a tranny flush first.

I had the same problem with the new tranny I put in my 92 LX. I am not sure what it was but I am pretty sure it was the TCU because the D4 light blinks and it is shifting in the "safe" mode. I also pulled a code 7 from the computer.

[CB7PWNAGE]

man i might swap my engine.i floor it in d4 and dont get no torque or horses at all.0-40 in 7 seconds

[johnwiltfongjr]

When the tranny operates in the "safe" mode, it seems like the engine is dogging out after it shifts the first time...kind of like your 0-40 in 7 seconds...almost like it is shifting from 1st or 2nd to OD. That is supposed to protect the transmission from any damage due to improper shifting. I am going to replace my TCU with one from a board member and hopefully, it will fix my problem. Good luck!

My next car is going to be manual for shure.i hate computers shifting wen they want.i like me controlling my car and sucking up the juice from every gear lol

[JARHEAD293]

sounds like u need to junk it man,lol. not funny right? anyways solenoids or tcu. happens all the time,very common issue. if its the tranny go 5spd or buy my new auto tranny sitting in my garage.

[johnwiltfongjr]

I replaced my TCU with a known good one and I still have the same problem. I am thinking one of the solenoids have crapped out seeing as how that is the code I am pulling. Any other suggestions would be great.
