Honda: 95 Accord Transmission Slippage, transmission slippage, auto transmission


Question
Similiar to a problem I read about a guy whose auto transmission would not stay in overdrive, would you recommend a complete BG transmission flush to try to fix the problem?  I recently had it changed and Lucas stabilizer added, helped some, lowered temp. and slightly better milage, but still slips. I have only 90k and am debating the price of gas vs. the complete rebuild question.

Answer
Steve,
I don't think a fluid flush will fix it man.  You may not need a complete rebuild.  If it's only one gear that's slipping, and the problem is localized, then someone may be able to repair it.  If most of your driving is in the city, and overdrive is not completely necessary, then I'd personally not worry about it.  Sometimes though, peace-of-mind is worth more than the transmission itself.

Good luck,
Barrett
