Any leg pull issue with Accord from 2008 upward?

guru01:
My Honda Accord jerks when i accelerate in forward(d4), and also after moving out of gear 2 it seems to get at selecting gear.

After meeting with two different mechanic, one said that i need to change the entire gear box which he said cost around 65k because he said the fiber is damaged(melted) that no repair change fix the problem. The other said, i should change transmission oil and service the gear sensor.

Which of this mechanic should i go with?

Abeg how much is power steering cup?


Car is Honda Civic 2003

Mrford:




Your temperature sensor is a two wire sensor one is a 5volts reference voltage from the ecu while the 2nd one is a signal wire back to the ecu. As the engine gets hot the resistance in the ect changes which is sent to the ecu in form of a voltage through the signal wire. The ecu uses that information to determine the amount of fuel to send into the cylinder and when to turn on the fan. When you unplug the wiring harness to the ect, the ecu assumes a hot engine condition and in turn switchs on the fan.

adanny01:


You are almost correct, only that you mixed up ECT 1 and ECT 2. There are actually 2 temp sensors. ECT 2 is on the radiator and controls the fan while ECT 1 is the actual Temp the ECU uses to control temperature related parameters and the temp gauge.

ECT 1 measures the coolant temperature leaving the engine going into the radiator while ECT 2 measures the coolant temp leaving the radiator coming into the engine. ECT 2 determines whether cooling is required or not by turning on or off the fan when the coolant leaving the radiator has reached maximum or minimum preset temp while ECT 1 tells the ECU how hot or cold the engine is running which is used to control the IVAC at cold start and amount of fuel to released by injectors.

I want to do servicing on my Honder accord 2004 but am not sure wic oil to use either Mobil 1 advance full synthetic 5w-30 for 18k or Mobil super semi synthetic 5w-30 cost 5k. I use forte oil 20w-50 but d exhaust is emanating black smoke so I want to change oil in my next servicing next. Am also considering cost.

Change the fluid and gear switch

Just like that? I mean your answer is very simple and makes me wonder if i will not end up still replacing the transmission.
Please sir, what is the gear switch called in the market and how much does it cost?
Someone recommended oando trans fluid but i didn't want to buy that unless i get the atf z1.

What the gear mechanic said still bothers me, the the fiber is melted and therefore the transmission is damaged.

luvinhubby:


If the fibres are burnt, it will darken the color of the gear fluid and give out a burnt smell.
Do not attempt to put anything ATF-Z1 in your gear as that will definitely be a fake clone from China, Honda stopped Z1 in 2011 & replaced it DW1(also cloned) which is backwards compliant.
Look for the genuine DW1 that has a computer generated batch code at the reverse side.


Whoever told you an EOD gear is 65k is NOT correct, may not have any intention of replacing yours.

symbianDON:

my sister's 2005 accord had a similar issue yesterday. Hers seems to be transmission failure because the car could reverse but wasn't going past gear 1. Her mechanics suggested complete transmission change as they claim the fibres are burnt (funny that she actually used genuine dw-1 not cloned). Please give a quote for the transmission if she's to get a toks from you. Thanks.

Hello once again car doctors and patients
I've been having the TCS light and caution sign illuminated on my dash board for a while now, I've had the legs checked and everything turns out fine but the light keeps resurfacing. What could be the problem.
The car is an Accord 2005 V6 by the way

Kind regards

dakpemien:
please guys i just got a honda accord 2009 and the recommended oil from maintenance manual is API premium grade 5W-20. which product or brand matches that in Nigeria

Namzy:

Have same issue for 2 years now and have tried all sorts of fix Short of changing the transmission unfortunately no fix. If you accelerate gently it shifts from 1 to 2 smoothly. My next step is to buy Lucas transmission fix and if it spoils the transmission...... So be it. If you find a fix let me know

Johnsonkeyz2019:

Good morning. Please I have noticed an upsurge in the rate at which people are selling and advertising Honda 2008-2009 cars . Please is there any reason why this is happening or is there a major fault about these model that is making ppl sell it off quick and cheap.

nurey:


You can only find out if you do the survey by yourself which is pretty easy, go and inspect few specimens and drop your verdict as a thread here.

Besides I am not surprised, same was said for the baby boy and EOD

https://www.nairaland.com/2045016/why-everyone-selling-honda-accord

The number 1 reason I can give is out of all affordable cars by low income earners, Honda always stand out and improvement can always be seen and enjoyed in later models so people sell the old to get the new.
