Hi everyone! I have a 1993 accord ex 4dr 2.2L automatic with 209,500 on it. F22A6. The problem I am having is when the car is cold, it has a hard time shifting out of first gear. It first started about a week ago when it was having a hard time shifting into overdrive(which it is still doing till it warms up). It doesnt feel like it slips at all. It is also very hard sometimes to get the car out of park. Has fresh HONDA fluid in it from the dealership and a new cv axle (driver side) as well as the seal there. Any more questions, please ask or any advise is appreciated. Is there some kind of solinoid or something? I really hope I don't have to have it rebuilt or trash the car because I love the car and don't really want anything else. lol. Thanks!

 

Update: got a code off the D4 light! One long flash, 5 short ones. code 15?

 

im not sure but check the intake manifold. my dad had a problem like tht in his truck idk if it could work or not, but its worth a try!

 

there are many reasons to this problem, one could be ur tranny liquid might be too low or high, second u need to change ur solinoids this might be corroded , or third check to see if you have a "check engine" light, if u do, see if the torque converter went bad. all parts i recommend getting it after market parts, they are half the price of dealer n stands up to its quality as OEM. No need to switch ur tranny....

90+93 TCUs are known to have faulty resistors and capacitors, pull the TCU remove the cover and look for any burned out resistors or swelling capacitors.

 

Ok so I pulled out the sensor that was throwing a code 15. cleaned it off as there was metal shavings on it and put it back in. it was fine after that then after letting it sit overnight I went to work this morning and it started acting up again Gonna pull it out again and check it out. The resistance was 497 ohms when it was cold, and 543 ohms warm. I have to take it in tomorrow because the cv axle I replaced doens't stay in the tranny so maybe that has something to do with it. We will see...

 

I did have a tranny code 15 but no check engine light.

 

I also did this today and everything looked ok to me.
