Thank you. ------------------------ Sean, You haven't told us the mileage, or the last time you drained and refilled your tranny, or the outside temperature. If it's -40 where you are, your problem might not be a problem. Otherwise, stick your pinky into the 'fill' hole and see if there's any fluid in the gearbox. Your oil change place will do this for you if you ask. You'd be better off to have a real mechanic drain and top it up for you with Honda MTF. Your owner's manual will tell you the exact capacity, or the parts guy at your dealer will know . . . . . 'Curly' ----------------------- |

Re: hard to shift gears on 91 Accord
Have you checked the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder?

Re: hard to shift gears on 91 Accord
It could be the cluch pressure plate is about to expire. It happened to me

For instance, if you 'top up' the reservoir, but there's already air in the line, it will still have to be bled to cure the problem. A spongy feeling pedal and grinding shifts will persist until you eliminate the air. Rarely does the air bubble come back out for you. :-( 'Curly' ------------------------- |
