mozee: Have you changed with the rollers? Because the rollers are the only thing apart from grease that make contact with the inside of the cup. Also be sure its the same type with exact dimensions with the original one. I have had a case with an old Honda when the mechanic used a cup of a different car without my knowledge and the result was still vibration. |

Hello my informed friends. A friend just installed a used transmission on a 4cyl 2001 accord but with issues. The car shifts smoothly like new when cold with no jerks at all. It starts misbehaving when warmed up. It will start with jerky shifting on gear 1-2 and eventually end up in limp mode with blinking D4. Codes p1753 and p0730 were pulled. Turning it off and on brings it out of limp mode but it goes back as soon as it wants to shift to 2. Any advice on how to solve this issue? Is the transmission a bad one? Please help. |

Macmilla: The transmission or gearbox is an innovation of engineering that is central to the smooth running of any car. The transmissions may vary from manual, semi-automatic to automatic transmission. Anyone who has had an experience with transmission problems will tell you that it's not cheap replacing or even repairing it. Thus, it's always better to take good care of the transmission, checking the oil, filters and getting them cleaned regularly. It also makes sense to get your car serviced especially if you have been using it quite frequently or after a long trip. There are a lot of things your car will 'tell' you if you are willing to listen and observe. Most of the problems in cars can be felt in the way they drive during daily use. |

Good Evening Nairalanders. I drive a Honda Baby boy. After driving about 300km today'(to and from) I observed an amber light on the left side displaying "CHECK'...This is different from 'Maintenance Rqd' that am used to.The symbol with the 'Check' was like engine to me.Please has anyone had this challenge before and way out? I want to have an idea about it before I go to Mechanic so as not take advantage of me in exorbitant charges. Though I called my Mechanic who said I could still drive it for the remaining part of the journey then will see him by monday. I drove additional 100km thereafter. Please help with useful tips. |

Macmilla: What ATF did he use after changing the transmission? |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by shamecurls(m): 9:40pm On Dec 27, 2014 |
dpresido: It simply means that you need to get the car scanned so as to know where the fault is coming from. It urgently needs attention which you must start attend to by carrying out a thorough scan on the vehicle. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dailydolar(m): 9:08am On Dec 28, 2014 |
Pls I need ATF DW1 and am in PH were can I get it. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dpresido(m): 9:30am On Dec 28, 2014 |
shamecurls: shamecurls: Thanks a bunch brotherly. That means I have to take the car to the Scanning guys before the Mechanic right? I stay in the North and am aware of only one place here where they do sucj scan. Usually, do they scan and fix or tell u the fault before meeting the mechanic? Pls do u have an idea of the cost of scan so that I could budget accordingly. Thanks Shamecurls |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Nobody: 9:32am On Dec 28, 2014 |
dpresido: Get an OBD ii scanner and scan the car, it will bring up a code. Copy the code somewhere, erase the codes from the car using the OBD ii scanner, drive for a while, if the light comes up again, scan and note the code. Then post the code here. |

Hello Experts, I just got a Tokunbo ride and the Engine and AC fans run directly, Please how do i know if the thermostat is still in position and not faulty without opening the casing? Any disadvantage if the fans re running directly? |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Nobody: 3:27pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
shamecurls: 1.There should be a considerable difference in temperature when you touch the hoses which acts as coolant exit hose and coolant entry hose after a while of driving. 2. Your fan should kick on and off intermittently. 3. Your coolant temperature gauge should gain a rise in level after a while driving. However, it should NOT rise to the RED mark/zone. 4. After all is said in 1,2 and 3, your car shouldn't experience overheating. Bypassing your radiator fan to work continuously is a very bad practice. Anyone who attempt that on your car pls shoot his/her hands. The manufacturer of your car intentionally configured the radiator fan to work intermittently so as to ensure the temperature of the engine rises to a defined range at which the engine operates at its MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY and EFFECTIVENESS which inturn brings about lower fuel consumption, less stress which inturn give greater LONGIVETY of ENGINE. Bypassing the radiator fan defeats the purpose It makes the engine operate at a cooler temperature which stresses the engine and causes premature wear and slow death of that engine. I don't wanna go into the details. Because I've spoken on this topic many times. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dpresido(m): 5:20pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
lomomike: Thanks Lomomike. I had the battery removed and refixed then the note went away. I understand this is a temporary measure. I came to meet my friend who has the scanner. After scanning it didn't show any code, all read just ok ok, code_nil. Could this be because it had erased? Also he has similar challenge. After clearing it it still comes eup with these codes P0420 and P0430. Please assist. Thanks |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Nobody: 5:46pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
dpresido: Drive that car for a while before you can assume. Don't just scan immediately after battery removal. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dpresido(m): 7:48pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
lomomike:Thanks. What about the codes on my friends own? What could those mean sir? |

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Nobody: 10:45pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
ifeanyi83: That's prolly gonna be the biggest lie of the millennium. I used an Infiniti QX4 without touching anything. Only drained the previous coolant and replaced with Nissan's recommended coolant. I'm using a Highlander and a lexus I've never drained any coolant or tampered with the cooling system. I've never had overheating problem in any of these three cars. The 1st car I had was a toyota carina ii and that was a lab specimen rat and testing ground in the hands of the mechanics that car was abused and its cooling systems was altered to suit the much acclaimed 'Naija weather' the following butcher was carried on that car: thermostat removed, radiator fan bypassed, double celled radiator installed, abro coolant + water mixed as radiator coolant; yet it was constantly overheating (mind you, its gaskets was still okay and not blown). That's a story for another day I don't wanna remember that bleak era. |

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by adanny01(m): 7:53pm On Dec 29, 2014 |
Macmilla: P0730 - Incorrect Gear Ratio Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level - Dirty transmission fluid - Shift solenoids - Transmission mechanical problems - Transmission hydraulic control circuit Check fluid level first then clean the solenoids with carb clearner. If you still have the problem, change the solenoid and try again. 1 Like |
