accord 1990 problem with shifter

[djkdawg]

aight this is not a stick shift car it is a automatic, but you know it drives fine for like 10 minutes then all the sudden , the enginge stays on and u can ram it up all u want to but the car will not move, then when i cut it off and put it in park, start it back up it will move for a while but then mess up again. what is wrong please help

Well, checking your fluid level sounds like a good place to start....

[djkdawg]

i dont know what it is, it is filled to the tip top

Probably a trans. Sounds like there is debris in the trans and when you drive it gets sucked up into the internal screen and causes the pressure to drop. once you shut it off the debris settles and then the car will move again untill it gets clogged again.

how do i fix that ?

Change the oil in the tranny. It is easy and replacement fluid is not expensive. If that doesn't fix it, you might need a new tranny.
