Grim Tranny Reaper (repair)
The trans in my Accord started slipping horribly yesterday while driving up and down some winding hilly roads. I pulled over, checked the fluids and let it cool down. When I left the gas station it continued to act up, although I was able to get it home by babying the pedal (appr. 25 miles). The car has 79,000 miles (I put 4000 on it since February when I bought it) and the tranny has sometimes shifted a little hard but never actually slipped until yesterday (heard that was common). Should I change the filter and fluid.....add some tranny goober...tranny over-haul kit....auto tranny selector cable.....call a funeral home ??? The fluid still maintains its shade of red, but it definetely smells burnt.
All comments and advice are appreciated...(its kissed, isn't it?) |

You could try changing the transmission fluid, not a full flush because this could make things worse than they are. The most auto trans work I ever do is R&R - let the trans shops take care of rebuilding. If it was manual it would be a different story. IMO its cheapier to install a rebuilt unit with Warranty that it is to rebuild an auto unless you are a transmission specialist.
Hilly roads can tear up tranny's |
