    Default 1991 Honda Accord Transmisson Problem

    I have an ex automatic. Just the other day it started but the car will not shift on its own to begin with. I can shift it manually but somedays i only have 1st and 3rd. Then other days it will have 2nd and 4th. I checked the tranny fluid and its fine. Does anyone know what this could be. Thank

    I'd bet that your odomoter and speedo don't work. If this is the case, it's the VSS - common prob on CB7s.

    speed sensor probably wont fix it but the trans computer will, it starts out in like 3rd gear and slipping real bad but you can manuelly shift it and it is fine.
