Honda Repair: 87 accord tranny problem, honda accord lxi, coolant lines

Question
I have an 87 Honda accord Lxi HB with an 2.0liter.The problem is when i start the car it goes into gears and drives normal.But when it warms up it starts to make an winning noise and then suddenly stops moving,it gets no gears.No reverse or drive.Just stops.But if you shut it off and let it cool down say about 5 minutes and start it back up ,it gets all the gears again, drives normal until it gets hot and stops moving again.I replace the tranny but still the same problem.Need help on this basket case.

Answer
sorry, i didnt read the last few sentences before i typed all this. if you replaced the transmission, they sold you a bad one or the lines to the coolant are messed up. a local shop will be able to replace all the lines or"pipes" that connect your transmission to the coolant lines. you may have a trans cooler that needs replacing. any transmission shop will be able to figure out the real problem when they get underneath and look. but i know for sure the reason it keeps doing that is because it is overheating.


this is what i wrote before i read you already replaced it:




your transmission is overheating. in most cases it is actually easier and cheaper to find a new transmission at a local salvage yard than it is to fix this. you will definatly need to take it to a transmission shop. it could be that your solenoids could have gone out but most likely it is more than that. you could try changing the fluid and filter. check all your hoses and "pipes" that run around your transmission. if one is pinched or leaking, that will prevent your tranny from cooling down. once your transmission gets too hot it pops out of gear and dies. after you wait a few minutes the fluid is cool enough to get the transmission running again. a transmission shop may have the ability to replace the hoses and solenoids but they may tell you that your transmission will need a complete overhaul, which isnt entirly false. but replacing a transmission really isnt that difficult. it is easier than rebuilding one for sure. you can use any transmission off a 90-93 accord or 90-91 prelude with engine code b20. they usually dont cost more than $200 for a good used low mile one. and replacing it is a matter of putting the car on jacks, unbolting 8 17mm bolts that hold it to the engine, and the three that hold it to the frame. with help of a Haynes Repair manual it shouldnt take more than 2 hours to completely replace the whole transmission.
