Transmission
 

I always took good care of my Honda Accord, but last night the transmission
wouldn't lock in at all. First there was a jerk and then the car wouldn't
move. I let the sit for a few seconds and then it would lock-in and move. I
always kept the fluid changed and this is the first problem I ever had. This
is '92 model with 200,000 miles. The engine is still smooth and saves gas.

Does anyone knows how to check the auto transmission to see if it is a minor
problem? If this is a costly problem, then I will just buy a new car since
it has too many miles.

Thanks,
Al

The only check you can do is make sure the fluid level is ok..then have it
towed to a transmission shop for an accurate diagnosis.

Are you using Honda ATF? Other fluids give crappy results.

It's making a whining noise like it's low, but it's not.

Re: Transmission
 

the car has 200,000 miles on it and this is your first problem ..sounds like
the filter is plugged up which requires removal of trans and disassembly
...... overhaul is still far cheaper than new car payments
