    auto tranny dies again

    good morning everyone.

    my auto tranny died a week ago. it shifts from only 1st to 2nd. it was rebuilt a couple years ago. the accord is now in a car cover waiting to be fixed, since i am low on funds.

    i am wondering where to get another accord auto tranny for an 87 accord lxi? or any suggestions would be wonderful.

    thanks in advance.

    i was really thinkin of swapping a 5 speed, but my dad also drives the car and didnt want me to swap in for a 5 speed.

    tranny fluid flush? sounds like an idea....hopefully that will fix the problem, cause i dont have any $$$ to pay for repairs at the moment.

    Well, mine is stuck in 1st while cold start. I assume 1st->2nd shift valve stuck. But after like 5 min it start working again.
    Proly ur 2nt->3rd shift valve is stuck. Maybe a flush will do it. Tell the guy to use a trany cleaner 1st (they usually do, @ Honda they use BG's TDC60 damn expensive stuff) and run trany through all gears for 5..10min. When they done mine, they skipped that gear change..
