My 1991 Honda Prelude starts alright, but when put in gear..car will move, but then will stop and idle. I was told the transmission filter is clogged and needs to be replaced. I was also told the filter is encased in transmission, and would need it to be rebuilt..Is that true?

Hi ucichris,

The filter is a non maintenence part and to service/replace it, you have to strip the trans.

Did you check the fluid level and condition?
