Your gear is slipping and you are using the wrong fluids. Scan transmission for codes. Note: an ordinary OBD2 scanner will not have ability to scan the AT.
Lastly, do x3 drain and fill with DW1 you will need at least 9 quarts. Drain fill, drive around for a while and do again.

I did as you had advised . I did a DW1 tranny flush . Still the problem persists .I can only drive the car on 1 and 2 D3 and D dont even do well at as the car engine REVS and put more extra pressure on the engine anytime i put it on D . Meanwhile I have used 2 all along as i recently began noticing that it dis-engaes when I am on 1 .

what other suggestions do you advise ? please do i go for a new set of Gear box ?and if yes do I still have to reuse the same DW 1 once i get the new gear box / please quick answers as i am in a dilemma and need to travel with the car by the end of the month .

GAZZUZZ:

Have you scanned the transmission?

@Gazzuzz and other strongmen out there- I want to change my transmission oil cos it's lookling abit light and 'burnt', my mechanic is also suggesting 'servicing' the 'gear switches'.
Iv googled the name and didn't come up with anything
Is it good to allow him service those switches I see around there(since m tranny works fine), what is it called?

copiescopy:
No. I didn't scan the transmission . Can scanning do any magic on the tranny ? i was looking to getting at a new gear box by coming week before .

maybe I could just do a scan and report back .

@Luvinhubby,
Please do you have undercover of Honda Accord 1998 i4.
Please I want to know the price mine is worn out,any puddle of water splashes into the whole engine area

Macmilla:
The pictures below are pictures of 3 v6 engines from 3 different Honda accord coupe of the same 6th generation (babyboy coupe). If you look closely, you will see some differences in the plug cables.
A has a coil-on-plug configuration while d rest doesn't seem so.
B has d plug cables all exposed while d rest are covered.
My questions...
Are these engines different mechanically? If yes, what are the mechanical differences?
Are they interchangeable?
Which is the best to buy?

Gazzuzz and Siena, plz help.

Macmilla:

Someone should please reply to my question.

Belvinho:

brothers in the house please help
I took the car to ladipo on advise of a friend yesterday Saturday .. and one mechanic brought in a gear box from the dealer @ 85k. Now there is one issue on ground the gear box was fitted and the newly installed gear box could only work on D1 the other gears could not engage .. ... even my former gear box that was replaced runs well as it works fine on 1 and 2 but not D3 and D ...
what advise can you guys give me at this instant . Or does it mean the gear box given to me was not the right one specified for 2004 EOD ? one more thing one as they fitted the gear bod the D lights start to blink . and I shouted on the mechanic that even with my former gear box the D does not blink oo.. he said that one is the work of Electrician. the mechanic guy was talking something about electrician going to work on the wiring on Monday and I said no way as I dont buy that idea .
Now the car could not move so I had to park it over at a cousin place in ladipo as I shouted at the mechanic to please kindly remove the gear box and put back my own back for me so I can manage it since the one he bought could not even measure up to my own .It was really a wasted effort as I have told the gear box dealer and he begged me that lets wait till Monday that they will attempt it again and if it dis not work he will have to get me another gear box ..Since it did not even work and I could not drive the car home I am contemplating of telling the dealer to take his gear box back and refund my money . I don’t mind let him take 10k out of the money but he should take his thing back and give me my refunds even if it means losing some of the money as i want refund or a better gear box that will work ..
please what advice is there to offer as I will be at ladipo this Monday to spit fire on the mechanic and dealer to either replace or refund and again if any other thing that could be the magic touch so I can also tell them to do . I need this car to work so I can drive it home safely tomorrow.

GAZZUZZ:


ladipo is not a workshop. You park on the road and your car gets tinkered with. There's no one to spit fire on, your money will "not" be refunded. The gear installed was bad from the start. It might be fixed and reinstalled, or you might be lucky and get a new gearbox by the seller tommorow. Sorry but that's how it works in Ladipo

This is my greatest mistake as a car owner but it know enough not to make the same stupid mistake again.
In my case I insisted d dealer refunds me my money but like Gazzuzz said, he refused. I didn't let him keep doing trial and error with my car cos d more d car gets dismantled, d more things go wrong in d car. I was finally directed to a WORKSHOP. I asked d boss there how much it will cost me to get a good gearbox in my car. He gave me d whole cos which included buying and installation with new gearbox oil.
I told him I will give him d money and he will do everything cos I won't interfere but I will close down his workshop if don't get a working car in two days time.
I drove d car out of his workshop after two days and drove it for almost two years b4 I sold it to another happy buyer.
And the funny thing was dt my original gearbox was actually fixable according to this new guy after describing d initial problem to him which was just difficulty to switch to 2nd gear ONLY when engine is cold. An gearbox oil change and probably an oil switch replacement could have solved d problem.
I lost more than 200k on a gearbox that costs less than 50k and I learnt my lesson the hard way never to take my car to anywhere that is not someone's workshop.

I hope i wont regret this sha . for one I wont take that gear box since it's bad from the start. He either give me a replacement one or he refunds me even if its half my money. Its way more better I fix in my old gear box which I am so damn sure still is better. I know its hard getting a refund but with some little diplomacy I could get some good deal and since it didn't even work in the first instance the much I can do is to ask for a replacement of a good one with some added cash. If that method fails I can just ask them to put in my own back and let me manage my thing and start to save again till I can get a another one done for my by a professional. i pray all goes well.

Oga they gave you a refurbished gearbox for 85k, forget about getting a refund in Ladipo & ask for a replacement. Most likely you will add 15k & get a direct tokunboh gear as 100k is the current market price.

If they refuse that way, ask for their nearest union task force office & lodge a report.

Kashif:


It may not be refurbished. Not all used transmissions work. Remember, nobody removes a working transmission from a non salvage vehicle.
