engine takes to long to shift

[Drago742dx]

ive noticed when my 90 dx reaches high rpms it takes long for it to shift its an auto transmission ive noticed this when its goin from 3rd to 4th gear does ne one knoe wht causes this

[93accordexcoupe]

low tranny fluid? bad TCM?

high rpms from 3rd to 4th gear? u must be doing like 80 or 90 when it shifts there

[micksf22accord]

make sure not to flush the tranny tho just empty 75% of the fluid and add more and if that doesnt fix it like fizz said have you messed with the cable

[Drago742dx]

yea i was doin like 90 cuz i was tryin to race my friend in his 95 civic it has a 2.2 vtec i knew i couldnt of beat him but i tryed ne way but yea i didnt mess with any of the cables and this week ill check the tranny fliud iz there a way that i can check that my self or do i have to bring it to a shop to do it

[Drago742dx]

oo ok ima go take a look if it is bad can i change it my self i dont knoe much about this car yet so dont mind me asking all these simple questions

[Drago742dx]

its not a h22 i knoe that so it must be a f22b yea if the car didnt take long to shift i could keep up with him he has a stick so he has more accel than me but i still try any way

[93accordexcoupe]

haha if ur flooring it at that high speed in 3rd it will take days for it to get to 4th gear.

usually after 5k rpm at 3rd gear i shift it to 4th in the auto...

for tranny fluid dude, you can change it urself, its like an oil change...but id do it, then drive it around for a bit, then do it again...cause the capacity of the tranny is 7 quarts, when u drain it your getting about 3 quarts out of it...
