So this morning while driving to work my 93 SE auto acted a little odd at around 70-80 mph. It felt as though it was dropping out of 4th gear for a few seconds at a time. I would be cruising and the rpm would shoot up a few hundred and then go back to normal when I let it slow down a bit. It only seems to do it above 70.
I must admit I bought this car and put about 12k miles on it and only just checked the tranny fluid this morning at work lol.
The car has always been a little odd since you can give it a hair of throttle and it'll rev up to around 3k rpm before it will change gear. I always found that to be wrong but it always drove smooth. Shifts are "hard" sometimes but no banging or clunking. Just bad motor mount in the rear I'm thinking.
Fluid is brown with a tinge of red left and doesn't smell totally burnt, seemed to be full. After driving home and cycling all the gears before shutting it off, the fluid is slightly above the hash marks on the stick.
I'm thinking the TCU is about to shit the bed. Maybe a clogged solenoid? I'm gonna run out and get a few quarts of Honda fluid but I'm curious if my symptoms are ringing a familiar bell.
