    Busted ECU/Gearbox

    Hello,
    I have had my accord for 3 years or so now and it seems to have finally went to shit on me. I was driving on the highway and suddenly the gearbox shifted down to third, and the sports mode light came on. Now if I put it in D3 or D4, it doesnt use first gear, it just stays in third it seems. If I put the stick in 1st, it will go to first but then shifting it to second puts it in third again.. it would seem I have no second or fourth gear. I'm pretty sure it's thrid anyways from memory, 3000rpm is about 70 kph. So anyways, just wondering if anybody has any idea as to whats going on and if you could give me a hand that'd be great.

    Thanks,
    Chris

      Check your fluid level and tell me if you have a check engine light.

      Also, make sure the 'tower' looking things on top of your transmission are plugged in.

          My Tcu took a shit on me recently, and I only had two gears, second, and fourth. Replaced it with a spare I had, problem fixed.

            Alright, I don't have any check engine lights on, The tranny fluid level is a little low, it's at the lower end of the level but I'll have to wait till monday to get honda certified fluid. Now these tower things, are they just forward and below of the distributor, two little round things?

            I started it up again and went for a drive and now the problem has gone, it's driving normal again without having to do anything.. hopefully the rules out the tcu?

              Hmmm. Yes, the two round things are you plugs. Check those...

              I would think that if it was the tcu, you wouldn't be able to drive it 'fine' like now...

                Well I drove it fine for two days and on the way home from work today it's doing the same thing again.. How do I check those plugs? Is there a test I can do?

                  The dealer wants 250 for the solenoid, there are some on ebay for 30, does anybody know if the solenoids are the same for the A1 A4 and A6? Also, where could I find out what I've got?

                  Thanks

                    You get what you pay for....would you rather have a 30 dollar fix and then have a major malfunction happen and then you have to replace your tranny?

                    or save yourself a headache, take the 250.00 blow to the nuts and be done with it?

                      The ebay part is an oem used solenoid, so the quality shouldn't be compromised. And if it breaks, I could buy 8 more and still be ahead! My alternator seems to have gone now..
                      anyways,
                      thanks for all the help guys
