Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 200691 Accord transmission question
The transmission (auto) is getting difficult to shift into drive from park. The car was just through a bit of a flood that killed the ECU but that is fixed and this was a problem before that happened. I guess I need to bring it into a transmission shop to check out but I know nothing about what to check on my own for this. I'm trying to decide if I need to get a new(er) car. > The transmission (auto) is getting difficult to shift into drive from > park.

Do you mean it is hard to move the selector from Park to Drive, or that the tranny doesn't want to get going even though the selector moved okay?

The exhaust is noisy but that's likely because I used a cheap exhaust system. > The transmission (auto) is getting difficult to shift into drive from > park.

He removed the cover plate and lubed it all up. I don't know if you have a similar removable plate. Since that part was sitting in water, maybe that's all you need. If you live in a cold climate be sure to use a lube that won't get too stiff in the cold. 'Curly' > The transmission (auto) is getting difficult to shift into drive from > park.

If the lights don't come on and you can't shift out of Park, the problem is a worn stop lamp switch. This problem is not unusual for this version of Accord. |
