Please my honda accord 2003,while moving on a smooth Road d gear select very well, but on a bad Road it labour to select gear, have to off the engine and on it again before it will pick. Scanned d car,the diagnosis was P1734 and P0708.
saying shift Error. please what that mean.

u guys should help a brother na

P1734 - shift solenoid valves B or C stuck off. First and foremost what does your transmission fluid look like. Wine colour, dark colour or brownish in colour.
If wine colour proceed to check shift solenoid valve band c. Which is just right inside of your transmission. If dark in colour and smells burnt you are on your way to replacing that transmission. If brown in colour proceed to changing fluid with " Honda DW1 transmission fluid". You can use a good dextron vi transmission fluid.


N.B: there is a recall on your vehicle for transmission issues

pls can i have ur digits to call u please for clarity. okenne@yahoo.com.

I use Oando Dextron ll, the guy that scanned it said it said it sensor issue after putting the sensor the problem persists.he drove the car around and concluded its gear box problem. he checked d gear oil and said it burning already that its turning black but when i check it still pink in color.

don't bother repairing. you need a new transmission. How can you pour dextron II inside 2003 honda accord. The transmission is on extra time.

The 2003 to 2004 honda accord had gear issues until it was overhauled in the 05-07 accord. The recommended atf is honda atf Z1 which was replaced by honda DW1 later on.

pouring dextron II or III into that gear was a grave mistake as honda transmission for that year was very fragile not only accord some acura line up with identical gear had such issues.

The deed has been done, you have burnt clutches already. better source for a replacement gear and find honda DW1 more recommended than Z1 and the change interval is 3 years or 60k km but I would advice you change yearly that's how we did for our 06 accord and we have never had gear issues.

first off try to flush and replace the dextron with DW1 and see if it would improve before total replacement.

Pls where can i get it, am not in lagos

Z1 was replaced by DW1 so DW1 is better and more appropriate to use especially in nigeria where fake plenty. If you can't identify original seek out luvinhubby on nairaland let him sell you original and you can also pay for waybill.

do your due diligence before transacting business with people on a faceless forum. But he has proved trustworthy on here with people.

Hi okenne I got some information concerning your gear oil.

https://www.nairaland.com/3464011/total-forte-conoiloando-mobil1-mrs/17

go to that thread last page and see a new total ATF that can work for your vehicle the price and what it looks like has been pasted.

my brother in law also says he has been using Mobil ATF for his 06 accord almost 7 years plus bought at 1300 in lagos here.

but I would advice you try the total first if you can't get in your locality you can try the Mobil.
