swchan Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi, with this winter cold weather is anyone else having problems with their automatic transmission not shifiting into overdrive at highway speeds? I noticed that my 1999 Honda Accord has been doing that ever since it started getting cold. Engine use to run at about 2500rpm @ 70mph but now its at 3000rpm @ 70mph. Is there something wrong with my transmission? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i think your tranny is having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Have your tranny serviced. My mom's Celica did that for a while. It'd take like 20 minutes for the tranny to warm up or something before it'd get into it's overdrive gear. Ended up being a tranny filter or some crap that was clogged.

Hatch92 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 whats the fluid level. it sounds like the tranny is slipping too much or it doesn't have enough ATF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX9RBART Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The same thing happened to my wifes car. The thermostat was failing, hondas temp gauge is sort of like a dummy light with a needle...as long as the engine is within a wide range of temps the gauge will stay centered.

swchan Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Fluid level was fine and the transmission was not slipping so I decided to change the thermostat and now it shifts fine. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
