Another AT problem

[Galactus]

Peeps

I've searched the forums, wala kasing identical problem as mine, kaya I created a new thread

Nagfa-flash yung D4 indicator ng Accord ko, (97 VTi-S), indicating a problem sa AT. Napansin ko nga na pag D4 or D3, mahina hatak coming from a full stop. As in mataas na yung rev, pero mabagal pa rin takbo. After a while though, ok na sya. Yung 1 & 2, ok din, wala naman problema. So normally, from P, I shift agad to 2 para maganda ang atak, then shift to D4.

I changed my ATF, thinking that was the problem, pero ganun pa din. Ok naman amoy ng ATF, di naman amoy sunog.

I hate to think na bibili na ako ng surplus, kasi 23,500 ang quote ko from Ultimate Surplus, kasama labor.

Ano kaya problema?

go to the casa and have them download the OBD codes. that would probably take out a lot of guesswork.

Although I don't want to guess, it sounds like the tranny is getting ready to give up.

how about trying an ATF dialysis? just search for it in the forums.

Have it scan,Also sign of clutch slipping.

[orly_andico]

err, clutch slipping?

it's an AUTO tranny. it has no clutch.

i would also go with GH's theory. a car that age with an auto-tranny.. i think it's possible to overhaul these things. what usually gives in an auto tranny? the planetary gearset or the torque converter? or the solenoids for shifting gears?

that's a pretty damn expensive surplus tranny. someone quoted me a Mazda KL-01 engine (2.5L V6) and auto-tranny for 30k. no labor yet, but that's for both the engine and the tranny.
