problems with my accord...

[ia13]

i got a 99 honda accord, it's an automatic, and every time i start to take off, it sounds like as if i were driving a stick shift and missing a gear. it sounds like it doesn't catch second gear. any suggestions on what i can do? is it okay to keep driving it like that?

[dazn]

any CEL's?

[tony]

Sounds like the transmission is going, not sure though.. my 240 is doing the same thing right now.

[Nittanys1]

your going to need your tranny replaced...the 6th gen models have trannys that go bad quick...im on my 2nd....

[dazn]

was there some kinda recall for that?
im glad i got a 5 spd

[ruah_23]

When is the last time u check ur transmission fluid?

[Ludester]

You may just need to flush your tranny fluid

[Nittanys1]

naw...its more then likely the tranny then the fluid...

to see if your on the recall list goto honda of america and enter your VIN number...

[EmminoDaGreat]

my 5spd tranny = a ok

[i4_garage]

yeah....accords tranny sucks....i myself have seen accords alot....personally...the tranny will go bad after 80K

[Buford®]

Be glad you don't have my car. It has a glass tranny.

[Buford®]

shit. I shouldn't have said that. haha. Mine's under warranty though!

[ia13]

i've gotten my tranny fluid changed twice in the past year...
bout to go outside and get my vin number...

??? I DON'T GUESS EITHER OF THOSE WOULD BE THE PROBLEM ???

[ia13]

the last place was a place called m & m transmission.
i can't remember the place before that...
i just remember having it changed, because that was thought to be the problem!

do i have to replace it with the same kind of tranny?

[ia13]

i want a 5 speed. but i don't think it would be worth it, atleast not in that car...

i was talking about the actual transmission, could i put a different kind in? i wouldn't want to put the same kind in. it's been doing it since i bought the car. it only had 15000 miles on it when i bought it, it has 88000 now.

If u have a 4 cyl accord any H series(h23,h22) auto transmission might bolt on..I don't know whether u have to change the ECU though.

[Nittanys1]

I have done the IGNITION SWITCH recall but dont have the other one...just take that to your local honda and talk to them...should be free...but i dont see anything todo with the tranny...

[Nittanys1]

u dont want an H22, h23 tranny...your gas milage will drop a good amount!

[ia13]

my gas mileage already sucks. i only get about 15 miles to the gallon. i guess it's because i'm always driving in town tho?

15 mpg for a 4cyl?
there's must be somethin wrong there.
My 5th gen accord that I used to have have abt 30-35 mpg on the highway.That's with I/h/e of course, but 15 mpg is way too low.......and putting h series tranny will seriously kill ur mpg

[Nittanys1]

yeah you need to take it in to honda and get the TB cleaned and change your spark plugs...I was getting 315 miles per tank and once i did the TB cleaning i got 410-425mpt

[ia13]

yeah, i get around 300 to the tank, if i drive conservatively...

[Humphrizzle]

my 5spd accord tranny shifts perfectly

[Nittanys1]

yeah cuz its a 5 speed...durr....

[EmminoDaGreat]

mine gets like 500 to the tank biatches.... on the highway

[Humphrizzle]

duuuuurrrrr fuck off.. haha

jk i was just postwhoring a little bit.
