94 Accord Transmission Help!!
Hi,
I'm a 22yo female and recent college grad, and my 94 Honda Accord AT is giving me so many problems. First off it was flooded in my apartment complex and the water went up to the top of the hubcaps. I had to replace both the engine and tranny computers on the passenger floor side. I changed the tranny fluid quite frequently since water was in it, and a month and a half later my tranny started acted up. When it was in drive (D4) it would not accelerate but yet acted like it was in neutral or something. Pretty soon it wouldn't move at all in D4, D3 or anything, although I was giving it gas (it just kept reving high like it coudn't switch gears). I had to get it towed because I didn't trust driving it. Oh and a few days after the computers were changed I noticed that my car would hesitate to move when I gave it gas (it would rev up) after it was at a stoplight. But anyway I bought another tranny but it was a used 96 (the guy told me that it was the the same for a 94 and 95), but after that tranny was put in and I drove it home, the speedometer doesn't work, the D4 light blinks, the check engine light is on, and it doesn't go into 4th or 5th gear (it clicks when I speed up and the RPMs go up). I found this out after I left the shop on a Saturday so I couldn't go back to ask the mechanic. I'm scheduled to go back on Monday to get the piece that controls the speedometer. The mechanic actually warned me that the piece for the 96 Accord didn't match, so until I come back to get it put it the D4 light is going to flash and the speedometer won't work. Do I have a bad tranny or the wrong tranny? Or is this piece causing all of the problems? Please help.

Is the check engine light still on? If it is we can figure out what's wrong with it. How come your insurance company didn't total the car for water damage? It sounds like you had some bad seals that caused your transmission fluid to leak out and be replaced with water. You can fix the speedometer thing yourself if you want to save some money, BTW. Hopefully that's the only problem.

Hi Christine,

Well I started it up this morning and the check engine light wasn't on, I didn't really drive it though, but it never turned on during the little time I did have it on. I don't have full coverage since it's a 94; I'm under my parents insurance. I replaced the seals when I replaced the transmission. I am not paying to get the speedometer fixed, but what about my not being able to go into 4th and 5th gears? Or do you think the speedometer thing will solve that problem?
