sorry about my miss type letters....i did'nt realized that my keyboard was bad since its wireless....
yeah, my 96 accord lx is not picking up speed,it does takes off,but it's not like how it used to be.honda said that this is about my auto trans failling...it's still runs ,but im not going any faster unless its down hill..i had to take local road to get home with my car since its my only ride. what else shold i check before i go on dropping my bad automatic trans.??? at first i was thinking that maybe bad fuel filter, i tried looking for it, till i found it hard to get to it, could this be the cause? or i should really start looking arround for a used tranny? any other tranny will fit my car athat will give better power?is it alot more work to convert fr
om auto to manual 5 spd? can anyone give me atleast steps on how to install either the swap or just putting automatic back on..please help me...thanks....sorry again...
