My auto trans on my 90 accord coupe, has been acting up it will not shift through the gears. I have been manually shifting it and its getting old aswell as it not having any reverse, it just makes a grinding noise when in reverse but wont move. The car sat in a field for two years, and it has a few random electrical problems, so I am thinking its electrical..ANY INFO HELPS THANKS

 

have you jumpered the service connection and checked for any codes?

 

no i dont have a computer scanner

You don't need a scan tool.
Jumper the BLUE 2 pin connector that is located above the passenger side kick panel, turn on the key and count the 'S' lite flashes

 

If the car is making a grinding noise in reverse, it usually means the reverse selector gear and shift fork are damaged. This is a typical Honda issue. Chances are, the ferrous contamination from the damaged splines has made its way into your strainer, and possibly a shift valve.

The transmission needs to be replaced.

 

finally a straight answer thanks boss ...... son of a beach she needs a tranny.

 

No problem. Just throwin' my 2 cents at a $1000 issue.
