not sure what exactly needs to be fix but it wont go into third or fourth gear. it is like when your clutch is worn out and the car wont go even though your engine is roaring haha. may torque converter or the tranny itself need help asap thanks. oh yea its a automatic tranny not a manual i dont know much about automatic tranny so i need help.

aight i kinda look into it did some reading with the manual and there are 4 gears and 1 reverse. each gear has also a clutch to it and apparently for my situation my third and 4th gear are slipping so either get it rebuild or just get a new tranny. i think i figure out my problem. if i'm wrong shame on me but i pretty sure that those clutch are out.

...and watch a simple tranny fluid refill would solve the problem, because maybe you never changed yours.

listen to Kaotic. Spend the extra 20 dollars to make sure that its not the fluid.

yes, atf-automatic transmission fluid. auto and manual tranny fluids are not the same, so make sure you are using ATF if you refill it.

well ok i just did a motor swap for it a couple of months ago and i used the original tranny which is 230k miles and change the fluid when i did it and now i just flushed it and went to honda dealer to get the fluid but still not working. however i found $150 auto tranny for it one craigslist that i'll probally purchase it. i think the tranny is just too worn out.
