Transmission problem
1989 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 141km miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
my friend and i recently gave my '89 accord a tune up and i was curious about a moaning sound when i take slow turns... he said it could be the belts a little, but it probably wants the power steering fluid. i was curious about that as well... however we noticed that i dont have a dipstick for my transmission fluid port. how important is this? where can i get another dipstick? just down at Murrays or Autozone? Honda Dealer? will just about any dipstick work?

Hi HondaRonnie,

If you don't want to know the fluid level, at least you need to keep out contaminants.

I would suggest getting the correct one, you can try those you have mentioned or the junk yard.
