ok guys i did a search but here is the scenario

my brothers 1994 civic lx auto starts just fine

then when he puts it into d4 it moves just fine

then after about 5 minutes (warmed up) when he comes to a stop, all of a sudden all the moving gears (R, D4, D3, D2, 1) act like neutral. They just up and stop working

then if he turns off the car and lets it sit for a while it will drive normal once again yet mess up when he comes to a stop

any suggestions?? .50 cents paypal to the person who solves this!

 

reply dammit

 

time for a new tranny

 

definitely tranny gone....

 

Check the tranny oil and see if the trans oil cooler is working.

 

Most likely the tranny is gone. Paypal is dannyh_2002@hotmail.com

 

yea like everybody said, you most likely need a new transmission.

 

is this all from firsthand experience?

 

ttt

 

yes

 

Even if it wasnt a shot tranny - I would still replace it, the thing is beat.

 

always check fluid and flush with new fluid before anything else with auto trannies

I second that. A friends auto sounded really bad, was shifting like crap, seemed like the thing was on it's way out. Got the fluid flushed and replaced, and it runs like new!

 

what do i need to know to flush out the fluid? just drain it, fill it up and run it?

 

Drain it when its hot. To flush it, you can drain and refill with fresh fluid 3 times in a row with 20 miles in between each session. But what I've seen shops actually do is cut the fuel and then crank the car with the trans plug and oil cooler hoses removed, and cough the trans fluid out.

I hope its just that and not the clutch packs slipping. You can get a TCI racing master overhaul kit for the same price as any overhaul kit, $220, and either DIY or pay someone to do it for you for a little less than the price of a rebuilt trans. Or just get a used trans for about half that and take your chance.
