Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2006Honda Accord 1988 Steering Repair Kit required
i have a Honda Accord. It runs fine but the transmission fluid is leaking. can anyone suggest where can i find the power steering repair kit??? thanks that makes no sense. if the trannie is leaking, your need trannie seals, power steering is completely separate from the trannie. >i have a Honda Accord.

Power steering fluid is a very different formulation from transmission fluid, especially in Hondas that use their own non-standard PS fluid as well. There is NO sharing of the fluids. If you're having to top up the transmission, then your transmission probably has leaky seals, like TL said. And BTW, if you're putting ATF in your power steering pump, you're gonna hafta develop some really strong biceps to steer the car when the power steering system fails. Most Hondas require Honda-specific power steering fluid. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

There is NO sharing of the fluids. ATF in place of steering fluid is a throwback to the old detroit iron days. they might still use/recommend it. but it definately has no place in a honda. thanks all you guys. the leaking is just below the engine on the right side, battery is on the left. it seems like transmission fluid is leaking, its just on the right corner at the front bottle in which I have refill the fluid once it the level goes down...... > thanks all you guys. the leaking is just below the engine on the right > side, battery is on the left. it seems like transmission fluid is > leaking, its just on the right corner at the front bottle in which I > have refill the fluid once it the level goes down...... Umm, okay, there are several "bottles" in the front of your car: radiator overflow, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid. None of them contain transmission fluid; almost all auto transmissions fill through their dipstick tube (NOT the oil disptick though!) You really need to track down exactly where the leak is and give a MUCH clearer description if you want any kind of useful information. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
