I recently purchased a 1992 Honda Accord Wagon with transmission issues. The transmission slips slightly when it first gets going, and as it warms up, I start losing gears, eventually having only 1st gear as it gets hot. I replaced the TCU and the lower solenoid pack (was receiving a Code 7) but the transmission still slips. I THOUGHT it may have been because there was too much ATF in the transmission (the dipstick shows fluid nearly twice as high as the "full" mark). So, I took it to a Honda shop to have the ATF and filter changed but they wouldn't changed it b/c they said it wouldn't help at all and that I needed to have the transmission replaced. So. Questions: Would draining off the excess fluid help the transmission to function more properly? If I were to attempt to replace the transmission myself, do I need to take the engine out as well, or would I be able to replace the transmission without doing so?
