I recently replaced my transmission which is used on my accord 1999 with approx 120,000 km and my 1st and 2nd gear shifts are fine with no trouble but, my 3rd and 4th is delayed where my engine over revs and then shifts after 10 seconds of changing gears. Is it possible that there is an issue with the solenoid and which is it?

Was that the same problem with the old transmission? Also have you checked for trouble codes in the transmission yet? This sounds like a revolution sensor problem

No, when the previous transmission comes to a stop, the transmission jerks very hard and goes to neutral and it had was tripping whan it had enough ATF and this is why I replaced it with another transmission.

I'll try to be brief. In 2008, I put in a low-milage transmission with a 90 day warrenty becasue I could not afford a new one. A few days after I got the car back, the key was stuck in the ignition and there was this pulling or tugging underneath the car everytime I reversed. It also was loud. Change the engines mounts, which were broken, and had the transmission examined for the tugging. Still nothing. It took the mechanic a year to figure out that I need a new wire installed that connects the gear to the ignition. Do you think that installing this wire will allow the key to release easlily and stop the tugging or pulling when I reverse? Is the ignition and gear somehow connected to the transmission? Do you think the wiring is off?

It could be a wiring problem. Today's transmissions have several electrical devices that make them shift, determine speed. And yes, wiring from the ignition sends power to it. However, I can't say for sure it will allow the key to come out easier.

Hi, all

I have a big problem after rebuit trans.

Trans Tech rebuilt my trans one month ago.

They changed trans cluth kit and TC.

Good for two weeks (800 miles).

Then D4 light blinking and check engine on.
The car can not shift to 4th gear.
Checked trans oil level - good.

Back to shop. After scan.
They changed solenoid B and pick up solenoid.

Good for 50 miles. And D4 light blinking again.

I am not sure what happened in my car.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi dahua. Huang,

When the D4 light starts blinking, an error has occured and been detected by the PCM.

Get the Diagnostic Trouble Code and we will see what can be done.

Hello,

Basically my question is regarding the cost to replace my transmission with a new (rebuilt) transmission from Honda.

I have a hum that I thought was the wheel bearings, so I had them replaced. The hum persists, and I also have transmission fluid leaking out from where the CV axle enters the trans. The leak is progressively getting worse. Also, I checked for play on the axles and they both move quite a bit. My understanding is that the carrier bearing is going causing the axle to shimmy allowing fluid to seep from the seal. The car has a lot of miles but its extremely clean and worth the money. Thanks in advance. Brad

Hi there,

The prices I come up with are Transmission approx $2.800 and around 12 Hrs labour. I would first get a test and report on your transmission first, and it it is deemed to beyond reasonable repair, go get a few quotes on this job as well, my price is from Mitchell 1 data base and this may vary depending on your location.

The splines of the differential where the axles goes in have a lot of play. Is it normal if not what should I replace the transmission its a BOYA. I have a 96 Honda accord 2.2 liters

What's a BOYA? Some play is normal in the inner cv joint. The housing is held in the transmission with an internal spring. If you can slide that joint in and out an inch or two very easily, that's when you have a problem. It should slide in smoothly under hard hand pressure, then spring back out by itself.

I could not understand what did you say. BOYA is what the transmission is called. When I put my finger inside the differential where the axle goes in the splines of the differential moves a lot.

Was the half-shaft causing a problem? Why did you remove it? I suspect you're feeling normal movement in the small gears that are part of the differential. Those are what are splined to engage the half-shaft.

Ok
few days ago I saw transmission fluid on the drive way it came from the passenger side drive shaft. I took off the passenger shaft and I saw wear marks on the end of the drive shaft where it goes inside the differential. So somebody told me its the bearing because the spline of the differential has a lot of play
