1998 CRV 4wd transmission
Hi All,
I have a 1998 CR-V 4wd, 111,000 miles. All services done at dealership and up to date (also have a 2004 Pilot from same dealer - and all services done there too) We had the CRV transmission go through regular tranny service as suggested by service manual ( all services per honda manual), a month later the tranny starts acting up, when trying to shift up from 2nd to third theres a moment where the engine revs up while waiting for the 3rd to engage while out of 2nd (momentarily in a neutral like state). It does engage into third, this happens all the time and is consistant. I think its a sticking valve in the tranny valve body, the tech says the tranny has to be replaced. I have asked that the local DSM be contacted as ZI feel it is to young for the tranny to fail. ANY suggestions and words of wisdom will be GREATLY appreciated. Is there an additive I can use on the tranny that will 'clean' the sticking valve, tech says no (for obvious reasons - end of year lets get a tranny job in). I have also heard horro stories of the cost.. Please reply to this group or to denisdsouza@hotmail.com Sorry for the long message and thanks in advance for reading/replying. Seasons greeting all. Denis |

That might indicate one of your clutches has failed. Also check for any metal flakes or filings on the drain bolt magnet. Any significant solid ferrous material there may have come from a clutch. It's conceivable that a valve could be sticking, but not likely from being gunked up. Your transmission doesn't develop gunk inside unless the fluid never gets changed, or something other than ATF got put in. If it was a gunk related issue it would have came from the factory that way, and it would have been a problem since day 1. Doubtful that any additive will free it. |

Re: 1998 CRV 4wd transmission
Do a google search for automatic transmission additives, what do yu have to
loose or take it to an independent trans shop, before you think of adding the additive. There are some honest shops out there.

It's conceivable that a valve could be sticking, but not likely from being gunked up. Your transmission doesn't develop gunk inside unless the fluid never gets changed, or something other than ATF got put in. I have seen a lot of transmissions broken down and even the worst ones just have dark fluid, but it's not thick and sludgey. The strainer does a very good job of filtering it. If it was a gunk related issue it would have came from the factory that way, and it would have been a problem since day 1. Doubtful that any additive will free it. Although it won't hurt it either. Could be a problem with a linear solenoid, but this is a Japan transmission, so I'm not sure if that one uses a linear solenoid. A linear solenoid controls fluid flow to the clutches to prevent shift shock. If a linear were stuck or working slowly, a fluid pressure might be low at a critical time ( during the shift ). A well-equipped dealer might have the necessary equipment to do a dyno test and monitor clutch pressures during the shifts. That might tell you what's going on. Doc |

Disconnected the battery and 'gently' tapped two solenoid valves that I could see on top of the tranny a few times with a light #10 spanner used to disconnect the battery with, then let the car sit for over 3 hours (took a nap lol). Came back reconnected the battery, and went for a test drive. Did a very slow speed series of starts and stops; with a full gear change 1st to 4th hoping the TCU would 're-learn' shift points. Continued this pattern at gradually higher speeds for gear change and slight up hill grades to put a little more pressure on the Trans (so far no reoccurrence 'AT ALL' of the symptom - usually it would happen at the get go and 'every' time Trans up shifted from 2 to 3, regardless if the Trans was cold or at normal operating temp. Came home and let the wife drive (different driver pattern, plus she's the main driver of the V, I use the Pilot). don't mean to shout but... COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN ONCE!!! I don't think I should however count my blessing yet, will let her drive it for a while. First off all thanks guys for the tip/s. Doc you mention the solenoid valves, since I did a little of both not sure which completely 'fixed' the prob; i.e. the power reset of the TCU or the wimpy tapping of the top two solenoids. Any idea where the linear solenoid is located. Please advise. Will keep you folks posted. THANKS again all, Denis. P.s. By the way the up shift points of all gears are uncanningly VERY smooth (like new), hope its not a calm before the storm. Did notice the valves need adjusting, can hear them tapping a little. |
