Since i've owned my 93 Honda Prelude SR, soo much ish has happened to it.. I lived downtown so it got jacked and broken into so many times.. spent $700 on compustar alarm.. still got jacked....
leaks oil....
3 weeks ago had the rotor and distributor cap replaced by honda for $2000

My NEWEST PROBLEM is...

i was driving yesterday and my car kinda jerked or jumped...later on that day i noticed the transmition light was flashing... then when i was pressing on the gas there was no power!!! but it was revving.

I took it home and checked transmission fluid and it seems fine...

Do i need a new transmission?? what's wrong?? and is it bad if i keep driving it even though it seems fine now???

1993 Honda Prelude SR

 

is the car an auto or manual? could be that the axle popped out, has happened to me a few times, or bad axle, or bad tranny.

do I sense sarcasm or did you really spend $2000 on a new cap and rotor? hahaha...

 

You did not seriously pay $2000 for a cap and rotor?!? $200 is way to damn much...

Auto or manual?

 

Anyhow, I assume you have an auto, because you have a transmission light blinking. Low tranny fluid level will definately over-rev when you accelerate, so check the level, or even drain and refill. Smell it to see if it's burnt.

If there is a fuel problem causing that bucking, you should get a CEL.

 

if your tranny light is on but the gears won't enguage, that sounds bad. Take it to a tranny shop and have them open it up and take a look. I am not sure about 4th gens, but I don't think they have to pull it to open it. You can probably have an inspection done for under $100, but a new tranny will run you quite a bit.

So none of the gears work..... is that what I am reading?

WHATTT?????!!

A cap and rotor is like $40!!

take the car to a mechanic you trust, maybe get your fluid changed

 

2000 dollars, man if you paid that much for a cap and rotor, they screwed you in the *** without grease
