OK so i had a problem with my transmission i was driving home from work one day (93 Honda Accord 10th Anniversary just put a transmission 3months ago)and all of a sudden it went out on me. I was driving about 50mph and it wwas like it went into neutral, i just revved up reallly high and my car began to slow down. I would turn it off, wait a few minutes, turn it back on and it would work for about 40secs and it would happen again. So i asked around and they told me it could be the shift solenoid. So i bought one off someone here and put it on and still the same problem. Whats the next step for me?

Also when i put the accessory switch before i turn on the car the D4 light turns on and then goes off but it doesnt blink if i put it in gear. I dont know if that is a tcu issue or what? or if it has anything to do with it? -
Time for a rebuild or a new torque converter. Before that check the shift solenoids on top of the tranny.1993 Accord EX2011 Subaru STi

its just weird that it would be that tranny. It goes into the gears when i first start up but then it goes out. Do you think it could be the tranny?Comment

same exact problem,i change solenoid ,tcu,flush.
but still nothing ,that's why i did my 5spd swap quick .
when i opened up my tranny it was dirty than a mother fucker (filter all clog up with dirt)
you definitely gonna need to get your tranny rebuilt or just pop it open and change your filter inside and clean your tranny up good.
.
,but i recommend you go with a full rebuilt kit

as big phil said,,, its a tranny issue 90% of the times..... what happens is that while driving that filter gets clogged up and the fluid/oil can't pass threw.... when you turn off the car, all the dirt falls down with the oil.. that is why when you start the car, it will work fine for about a min or so....are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet

Try a TCU first, since its the problem most of the time and pretty cheap.wat?Comment

I had this problem myself. I rebuilt the tranny but I didn't change the converter and a few months later same thing. After driving it a bit every gear was neutral.
I decided to go 5spd but a member on here stole my money, I was down 650 for that, 284 on ESP conversion mounts. My car sat for a while and was even broken into and my in car computer was stolen.
After a while I just had to get it fixed and I replaced the torque converter and its been fine ever since. I even cracked the tranny twice after that, patched it up filled it and its running strong.1993 Accord EX2011 Subaru STi Comment

you're gonna need 12 quarts of tranny fluid (i recommend HONDA ATF).Originally posted by NorcoAccord View Post
1- you drain your tranny out .then you pour 3 quarts in there .
and run the car for like 7-10 minutes by going through all the gears .
2-you drain it out again and pour 3 quarts in there again ,and do the same thing ( go through all the gears 7-10 min)
3- you drain it out again and do the same thing .
4- you drain it out and add the remaining 3 quarts in there and you good to go
it'll be easier if you have a lift
