QUESTION: f22a1 91 lx cb7 auto tranny problem

[cloudasc]

Hello, i have a 91 lx coupe cb7 w/an the stock automatic transmision. Every once in a while when i stop at say a stoplight. When it turns green, i press on the accelerator, the engine revs like the cars in neutral, then a second later, it drops into gear sharply causing the car to jerk forward and chirp the tires. Reminds me of a neutral drop. When i got the car, i changed the tranny fluid out to dextron III auto tranny fluid. Yet the problem remains. What do you think the cause of this is, and what is the fix?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

now you should have drained it and refilled with genuine Honda ATF.

that could be one of your problems is it's the wrong fluid.

i've added lucas oil transmission stabilizer for my tranny to help it shift smoother... try that after you use genuine honda atf

Well the owner manual said to use Dextron II ATF, and Dextron III is an upgrade from Dextron II, so isn't the honda ATF brand Dextron II? What is your opinion on Royal Purple ATF?

I was only told that you MUST USE HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID, for your power steering and thats it.

Honda and Dexron are not the same. Honda has some sort of formula in the ATF as I recall.

Well I used Valvoline MaxLife Dexron III/Mercon

i dont know but isound like maybe one of the A B seloniod valves and the tranny may have a little metal trapped in them and do not allow them to open or shut fully. try lucas stabilexer. I pitty the foo that thinks ATF isnt ATF. I put home brand in my car and I have no problems. When i did the fluid change it looked like metal and orange juice came out the tranny. oh well in went the new fresh fluid.
