mt98 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have a 98 Accord,auto trans,4cyl. When the car is first driven the trans does not want to shift out of 1st gear,when it does it is a slightly harder shift than normal.Does not do it after being driven a while.Trans was rebuilt when previous owner had car, approx. 3 years ago. It also makes a noise at idle in park and neutral that goes away when in gear,sounds like a bad bearing, for lack of better description. Any ideas ? Torque converter, trans,bad rebuild?

Xeryon Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The obvious first question: Have you checked the fluid level? And when you did was the fluid a clear pink color or was it a dirty brown or grayish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sadly, automatic transmissions are something I have almost no experience with so I am not going to be much more help. For the record: Honda apparently had quite a few issues on and off with the transmissions in your generation of Accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
