Hi,
I have a 1989 accord four door so I think it is an LXi. I just moved to NC from PA so I had an 8hr ride. The tranny was always a little sketchy (shifting hard). But after the trip down it started to get pretty bad. It was not always shifting and once didn’t even go into gear for a second. So I just changed the fluid. I drained it and put the plug back. And about a week later filled it with 3.2 qt of drexon ATF. I didn’t drive it till I filled it. I took it out for a spin and it felt better. Not excellent but at least the way it did be for I left PA. But I pulled in my drive and looked under the car and there was almost a qt. of tranny fluid leaking on the drive way. So I thought maybe I didnt get the dip stick on tight enough. So I tighten it and filled it and took it out again. I get back and same thing happen. Now there are two little trails of tranny fluid going around my block, into my development and up my drive way. I can see it leaking out of a hose when it is runnig. If you look at the tranny from the engine bay you see the dip stick and alittle above that there is a large bolt in the tranny that holds in a line it goes from there to the bottom of the radiator. What doe s those lines do? If I disconnect the line will anything but tranny fluid come out? Thanks a lot for any help.
