I just bought my daughter a 1994 Integra, and noticed that the dipstick for the transmission fluid is all chewed up... took it to a mechanic and he said that this is a problem notorious with Honda/Acura's. Explained that this is a sign that some nut in the pan (or transmission?) is loose, and if not tightened, it can come off and can make the transmission explode (I don't know if that is literal?). Is this true? Help? Do I have this fixed or forget it??? T

 

of course you should have it fixed but im not sure what the prb could be if the mechanic said that then id take it back to him and pull it out to be sure...better safe than sorry ...it is your daughter driving it?!?
