sillygirl1 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 hey guys i have a 2000 accord v6 automatic B7XA transmission. I can start the car normally in park, but once i move the shifter into any gear i get a constant grinding/groaning noise that wont go away until car is shut off. In ALL gears it makes this noise, car will not move. If i put the car back into park then it starts a terribly severe grinding noise that grinds contineously! Once i shut the car off and restart theres no problem until i shift out of park again. What is my course of action? i am a fairly skilled backyard mechanic with no transmission experience Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillygirl1 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Tranny fluid level is fine and i was manually shifting the shift lever underneath the car to no success, still grinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Sounds like bad bearings. Either rebuild it or buy a rebuilt unit. To confirm, drain the fluid and see how much metallic dust is in your ATF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillygirl1 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 So i replaced the transmission with one i found in the junker, no sensors or solenoids tho so i had to re-use mine. It drove great for about 2kms and craps out. Its like the clutch isnt gripping or something (automatic B7XA). Similar issue to what i was having with the original trans. Gears dont switch anymore...well i managed to reverse it a lil of the way home but it felt like when the clutch is slipping on a manual car. No engine codes ever! but i checked the solenoids and none of them are within the resistance range. The Clutch Control Solenoid, and Dual Shift Solenoids did not pass a 12V bench test either. Also i smelt burnt trans fluid. Should I even bother throwing money at these solenoids? or new transmission come with them usually? Anyone heard of this type of failure? I heard a lot about these transmissions having problems anyone ever had success with this model by changing the solenoids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Transmission failure in 98-02 Accords was prolific. Was there a guarantee from the place you got the used trans from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillygirl1 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 no guarantee. but its not a coicidence that this replacement trans worked perfect before it gave me the same symptoms. something else is making my trans(x2) crap out. its stuck in neutral, but i can feel and hear the shifts from P to R to D. Grinds terribly now when i put it in park...just like the first one did. I dont want to change every sensor and solenoid and harness. checked grounds, its got to be something other than the trans internally...but what??????? Stupid honda engineers screwed us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
