[slowCRXinPitt]

Ok guys. I know this is the civic forum but You are the smartest guys here. I just bouth a 92 accord lx automatic with 178k on it. Let me know what you guys this is the problem.

1. when i shift it into park when the car is still on I cant get it out of park unless i turn the car off and back on again.

2. This car is shifting erratically it jumps in and out of gear all the time while driving at the same speed. sometimes if i put it into neutral and then back into d4 it helps but just momentarily.

3. no matter what gear i have it in it always shows a green light over d4 and a red light over whatever other gear i put it it. Also, sometimes while in d4 the light will flicker off and on.

4. as for the drivability, these symptoms only occur after driving the car for at least 5 minutes.



Please tell me if i need a new tranny or sensors or tranny computer.

Did you check your auto tranny fluid level? Do it while the car is running. Sounds like a Torque Converter problem but it could be a sensor or something electrical...

no need to do it with the car running, just make sure its up to running temp.

sounds like your trans is going out to me. low pressures in the trans can cause shifting all over the place. if i paid better attention in auto trans class i could help you out more lol.
