Not suppose to be "between", it needs to be right up to the "upper" mark.

As eghatch stated, it could be the linear solenoid. If this was rebuilt did they provide new sensors?

will reopen the linear solnoid this weekend to test the resistence and valve movement with click sound. will update.

shiguiy

nope. the sensor is still the original old one

@ronJ: the issue is not about the car-does-not-move any more. I understand the shift cable issue. do you still mean it is related to the shift issue?

thx

Former User

Oh, the car moves now? I missed that. What's the current issue?

tony_2018

Ron,

The threads were combined. Right now it shifts rough, or rough engagement, or shift points are too high (2500 - 3000 rpm).

May be worth trying 3 drain-refill cycles with Castrol Import ATF.

tony_2018

Well...since you swear by it I might as well start using that in my sisters integra.

@Ronj: why do you mention Castrol Import ATFintead of OEM fluid? thx

Former User

It's cheaper than Honda ATF, if you shop around, and also works well for the Honda transmission in my experience.

@tony_2018: just checked TC and linear solenoid. the TC is new and I guess it is rebuilt ones and it should be ok. The linear solenoid and gasket look ok. the resistence is about 6.3 ohms, not too far away from 5 ohms, right? the valve clicks with movement for the solenoid.

do not know what to check next now.

@tony_2018: one thing I did notice today. I also open up the lockup solenoid. the click sound is not that strong. So I tried to apply battery voltage to wake it up. the click sound gets louder. Then I drove about 1 mile to the bank and I think the shift is ok. after I came out of the bank, the shift is the same as before. I disconnect the battery before i took apart the lockup solenoid.
any idea?
