Hey Guys, I have a 92 Honda Accord and it has about 105,000. Everytime I drive it the transmission doesnt seem to shift right. I mean it jerks the car when it shifts gears. Have any of you guys seen this problem. Or what could be the problem, so that I can fix it

 

flush the tranny

 

Sorry, im a complete newbie, my 93 honda accord does that exact same thing and i have no idea how to flush the tranny. How would i go about doing that?

Try replacing the fluid with some new Honda transmission fluid- if it doesn't help it's time for a new tranny or a rebuild. The jerkiness is mostly caused by excessive clutch pack clearance (wear). Be sure your transmission's throttle cable isn't too tight also.

take it to a Jiffy Lube and they will hook a Wyns tranny machine inline to the tranny cooler lines and your tranny will pump out the old fluid while sucking in new fluid

 

Automatic or manual?

 

actually, you just drain and fill honda trannies.

 

you never get all the fluid that way only about 5 or so quarts out of the 18-21 that are in there...if you use a tranny machine you get 100% exchange

 

Be sure to use HONDA fluid whatever you do.

 

yeah I hear you


I understand it ix dextron II right?

 

Keep the car in D3 during city driving. All older Honda AT's do this.

 

18 - 21 quarts? Where did you get that from? It's more like 5 -6 tops. A drain and refill will replace about 3 quarts. That's all that's required to see if it will make a difference.

 

It is a Honda specific dexron II- trust me on this- you want the Honda brand fluid. Regular dexron II will work but will not shift as smoothly as Honda's fluid and can shorten the life of the clutch packs.

 

torque converter is full of fluid........ simply draining the tranny does not get any of the fluid in there
