mine shifted REALLY hard into second like 3 months before it gave out finally. You could literally feel like a solid metal thud every time. it wasn't fun

If it smells like rotten eggs, it would sound like a cat converter that needs to be replaced... a burning oil smell is usually tranny/motor.

On my past 90 lx, My D4 lamp would blink on the cluster and another obvious thing was I would have to put it in neutral and then reverse multiple times before it would engage which was really annoying! I live in a court and for 3days had to circle my court multiple times to try to park on the side in one try (very hard with narrow spots and other cars around) I felt like I was a aircraft waiting for ground clearance!

Another way to now your tranny is giving out (or gears are giving out) is when it shifts it will kind of "gradually" go into gear. Kind of like when you don't let the clutch out all the way when driving a manual. (mine does this now when it shifts into 3rd & 4th )

yea my tranny seems to delay shifting in 3 gear. it take 4 ever for it to hit 4 gear. idk if thats ok or not? i think maybe accord trannys have a slow 3rd gear ratio? idk

[pretty_ricky302]

if u hit the gas and it just revs up like ur in neutral then u have problems.

[92bently]

yeh if u have tranny issues u will "feel" it more than smell it mos of the time, if u smell rotten eggs,prolly just the cat, if its shifting funny,check the fluid,c if it smells burnt or if its dirty then go from there

i was driving my brothers cb and the shift was delayed and right before that you could feel vibrations through the pedal then it would shift. i eventually stopped driving it because i didn't want it to crap out while i was driving and went back to my car... it was also hard to shift the auto from gear to gear (park-nuetral-d4)

[alifeva]

yea mines doing that for 1 to 2. i have to push the gas and let off the gas at the perfect RPM to get it to shift. *kind of like a manual car with no clutch* if i held the gas were it was the rpm will go up and extra 1k RPM and shift roughly. No metal grinding but def 18 years of wear and tear.

I Have a question SO I CAN GET THIS REPAIRED

automatics have clutches as well right? if i replace the clutch you think that will give my tranny more life and I can get the feeling back shifting 1 to 2? What are the guts of a transmission? What part is it thats going bad on the inside? or do people normally replace a whole tranny?

These are both symptoms of low/bad fluid or worse case a failing torque converter.

OH! So that's what it is! It seems like anytime I'm following an old car it smells like rotten eggs. I never thought it'd be the cat.

yeah thats mine is doing. should i get another tranny or should i throw money into the tranny i have?

Mine doing the same thing. The D4 light is blinking and i cant put it in D4 and drive like normal, i have to manually shift it all the way down to 1, then up to 2, then 3, and so on.

Anyone know why the light would blink and waht this could be
