So I broke the axle on my hatch and I need to get that fixed soon, but now my automatic everyday sedan is having trouble with the automatic tranny


Everytime I gas hard or let the rev's get above roughly 3k, the engine just revs and the car doesn't accelerate. Usually this happens most often when the tranny is trying to downshift. I'm guessing its the torque converter, but I don't really know jack about these auto trannies

Anybody have any suggestions? I want to get this fixed as this is my daily driver and my hatch doesn't run right now either..

 

check the fluid i guess...dont know jack about autos either.

 

The tranny fluid was flushed about 10k miles ago

 

could be ecu related..happened with my auto accord, but i doubt that..

 

i have a d-series automatic tranny that i will sell you if you are interested i am pulling out of my hatch on friday to put in a b16 and am going manual just let me know oh and its from a 92 dx hatch about 105xxx miles runs real strong

 

I've got a torque converter I'd sell you for like 20 bucks plus shipping. The other thing to check out is the cable that runs from the tranny to the throttle body. Make sure it's not too tight, or too loose...

 

Thanks for the suggestion guys, I'm going to go reset the ECU and check the cable tomorrow. Hope it solves the problem, if not I might need that torque converter or tranny :thumbup:

 

that doesnt mean that fluid hasnt leaked out since then.

 

i have the same prob. been told the tranny is slipping (a.k.a. going out) dont know been going with it for about 7 months not hasnt gotten any worse.

 

tranny slipping aka auto clutch is wearing out
