D3 D4 not working.

[Chris04]

OK i just got this 86 honda accord lxi the sedan and I was just messing with it because I have been bored, Well today like a dumb shit I pulled the ebrake and tried to give it gas. Well I did it and it poped and i was like oh my gosh wtf! so I turned it off and started it back up and tried to put it in d4 because I was at a light and I watned to go... well I tried to give it gas but it just sat there like it waas in neutral and then I tried to put it in reverse make sure that was still alive which it was. So i put it in reverse and then into 2 and it drove in 2 but i tried to put it in d4 again at a light and it was like in neutral again so finally I put it in 2 then 3 then 4 and it ran fine but when I decellerated it make a funny winding noise from the passenger front. No matter what gear I was in. So whenever i'm at a stop light today I have had to put it in 2 then 4 any clues?

You burst a trans fluid line check the line that run to the bottom of the radiator from the transmission...

[Chris04]

Alright, is it still safe to drive it right now and how much do them lines cost and and is it a easy fix?

[NXRacer]

with a bad line you'll run out of tranny fluid and burn up your trans.

[Chris04]

well alright the car will just sit there for now

[Chris04]

know a price or have a picture of this line I have an ideal about the hose but i don't know if it is the right one. there is a line with gel purple stuff coming out would that be the line your talking about?

[A20A1]

ewe... it sould be between the battery tray and the heat shield for the exhaust manifold.

Of if you know where the transmission dipstick is then the two hoses are right there, and then they go to the bottm of the radiator. The hoses are about a 1/2 inch in diameter.

but to replace the hoses you need to know the inner diameter of the hose... and I'm not sure what that is... if you can cutt off a small segment of the busted transmission line and take it to an auto parts store they can hook you up with the right size replacement hose.
Just make sure you get a few feet since you might want to replace both hoses.
oh and buy the right type of ATF to refill your trans.

[Chris04]

where is the dipstick for the tranny?

[Chris04]

where is the dipstick for the tranny also is that the only thing or is there apossiablity the whole tranny is shot?

[NXRacer]

if you've been driving it w/out fluid for very long its possible its burned up, but if you stopped driving it soon after it blew you may be ok. its doesnt take much to burn up an auto.

[Chris04]

I like less then 3 miles away from school I drove it back home that is it ...

[Chris04]

Still looking for the tranny dipstick

[Chris04]

I found the stick and I have alot of fluid so would that x out the ideal of a blown tranny?

for people that refure to this thread here.

did you check it while the car running? does the fluid smell burnt?

[Chris04]

wow I always had a 5 speed so all of this is new to me you hafta have the car running to check it? Also can you explain why you wanna do this,
Do you have aim as well playachris2004 on there
so I can just talk to you intstead of wasting bandwith on here.

[Chris04]

I just check it while it was running still no diffrence still good

[POS carb]

I hate to say it but I think you blew the diff or something, a burst fluid line won't let you drive to far, the car wouldn't reverse or go forward at all with no fluid so figuring the rate at which it pumps the fluid you'd probably get no father than 1 or 2 miles.

drain some fluid out, check for metal shards

[POS carb]

now that I think about it I don't think your diff is at fault but rather one of the internal valves that tells the tranny what gear to engage, that or somehow you poped the gear selector cable out (unlikely, you can still reverse and park right?)
