The check engine light came on and the the car starting the jerk a lot and but continued to shift fine.... Now it doesn't shift and only drivable on D2 and I have to press down hard on the pedal to even reverse the car... What seems to be not working... Is it the torque converter or an engine problem... I have a 2002 honda accord ex with 131000 miles on it

 

Please help.. now the car doesnt wanna drive... revs up but nothing .... works for 20 minutes and after it just revs up

 

Check the fluid.

Check the codes.

Hope you are not one of the many with 98-02 Accord, where auto trans that gave/gives out.

 

Check fluid and all connectors, Drain fluid from Tranny on the left (From front) its a circle with a 1/4 drive(ratchet without using a socket) slot rotate and fluid will come out take about 4 quarts out go to autozone get rislone http://www.barsproducts.com/catalog/...ak-repair-4502 i had similar problems i put quarter of rislone in followed by 2 qrts started moved thru gears then rest rislone followed by 1 n 1/2 qrt tranny fluid. let it run for a few minutes then moved thru gears took for spin and by the time i got at end of street i felt the life comeback to the tranny its been working for about 2years now no problems. its worth a shot and worked with my buddies civic also. P.S. Walmart sells import tranny fluid cheaper then autozone but gotta go to autozone for rislone. Hope this helps

 

I bought the Bar's Leaks Transmission Repair will that be good.. Also where is the transmission dipstick at

 

bottom of transmission in front its a yellow circle, im not to sure about what u bought i only recommend what i have used and had good results using

 

I would not put that in the transmission.

Are there any codes stored in the PCM?
