A Couple of Transmission Questions

[bluecb7]

I don't know if it makes a difference but here is some basic info: I have a '91 DX with an auto transmission and a stock f22a1 with 201,xxx miles on it. As far as I know both the engine and transmission are stock.
Now that is out of the way, sometimes it is difficult to get it out of park, and sometimes it when it shifts into drive, it kind of jumps. Again, both of these problems only happen sometimes, but when they do show up, they stick around for about a week or so. Any ideas, is the transmission going out, or do I just need to replace the fluid? Thanks in advanced for reading.

When it shifts into drive and jump , the culprits are your motor mounts.

I don't remember the answer for this "and sometimes it when it shifts into drive".. but i'll find an answer.

It very much could be the motor mounts. It can also be your transmission is slipping, and it's time for a new tranny. Yea when it's hard taking it out of park, that mean you need a new shift cable.

true... could be your motor mounts I have the same problem. They say that the motor mount in the back of the engine always f...ks up first. in my case are the one in the front and the back.... I already have them.. I just need to install them.. I think I'll be doing it next weekend, it gets really annoying

hehehe , it's liek being kicked int he butt.. I mamaged to replace my front motor mount 1 month ago , it was hard because a 14 year old bolt which is untouchec can be a PITA, and yes that the rear gets messed up first. Mne is too



anyway to the person who created the thread, about the shift diffculty it might happen that the release on the tranny which is related to the brake switch might be your problem. Mine was it and it might be the same thing as your's.

if you hear a loud Clunk or thud or something that is a metal to metal contact, then it is for SURE your motor mounts. When i first bought my car back in 03' that sound was really prevalent whenever i shifted from park to drive or from park to reverse or neutral to drive/reverse. And the Rear motor mount is the pain in the ass one like someone said. It is also the most expensive since it is hydrolically actuated. Mine is due for one too.

hrm i juss bought my car last week, a 92 ex-r coupe, and i have that kick in the ass too when i shift from park to drive. i have no problem shifting, juss i have that lil bump when i get it into drive. also, when the auto tranny is shifting while im driving, it jerks when it shifts gear. is that tranny goin out? fluid? im juss lookin to try to get everything to run smoothly so if i need to replace engine mounts, or tranny stuff then sure. sooo feedbak on wut i need to do would be greatly appreciated. thnx.

ps. i didnt wanna start a new thread since this is related too so i juss posted in here if u dun mind =p

For those of you who have changed the rear motor mount, do you remember how much it cost?

Mine is really hard to get out of park also, every other gear is fine.

Can't remember exactly but I think the part was like $65 at autozone....
You will have lots of fun replacing it...hahaha I did mine, watch for the heater hoses in the firewall...don't break them.

WTF!!! when I went and asked they said $120 only for the back so I went to another shop and got both, front and back for $70

[Leung]

well don't hold out on us, what shop was that and which two mounts for only 70? i'm sure mine is on it's way out the door too.

Its a small shop located here in LA not well known. Its call "Tristar Auto parts" I got the front and back motor mount... Its cheap because they rebuilt the parts... my distribuitor is rebuilt too got there for $120.

difficult to get it out of park?? you mean your trans or your shifter?
