Re: 98 Accord tranny probs
Flush is not recommended. Can you call the place that did it and find out what type of fluid they put in? Sounds like the fluid is wrong.

Re: Transmission Cooler
I agree, but if you want it to last the longest, then put some high quality synthetic Dex III in there. There is not enough grab in the honda Z1 for a boosted car.

That is the right procedure. It will all mix. It is OK to mix it. The fluid in the torque converter will not drain out, but will mix in several minutes with the new fluid once you start the car. ...

Re: 96 Honda Accord too much smoke at the exhaust when starting up
How is the coolant level? If the oil is still full, then it could be coolant that you are burning.
The oil in the plug chamber is not getting into the cylinder - don't sweat that.

Re: temp needle drops when accelerating
Check the connector - it is easy.
If not that, then thermostat. You don't want to run one even stuck open - cooling the water jacket too much will cause increased wear and decreased fuel economy.

Re: temp needle drops when accelerating
The thermostat could be stuck open causing an influx of cool(er) coolant from the radiator, rather than closing a little bit to regulate the temperature.
I would check/change the thermostat.

If you want your tranny to last longer, ditch the Z1 for some high-quality Dex/Merc III. The Z1 is garbage unless your only goal is soft shifts and short tranny life.
