Honda Accord, 2005.
This is the ATF for your vehicle.. if you dint use this recommended DWI ATF for honda..drain oil immediately..and get it.. secondly honda accord 05 gear box is known for its sensor issues.. u might need to consult. A technician. Check all your gear sensors..

Prepare u mind for worst case scenario. A complete gear replacement.. if fault Is neither oil or sensor then gear could be compromised and needs to be replaced.. dnt let anyone tell u they can rebuild it.. it almost never works..

Trevor012 honestly dude you're being very immature (no offense)...

You can't stop anyone from "toasting" your girlfriend... Guys from all works of life can and will toast your girlfriend in your presence or absence, it's up to your girlfriend to either accept their offer or turn it down...

As long as the guy is not a threat to the safety of your girlfriend, if you make the mistake of harming someone all because he toasted your girlfriend, guy you will pay dearly for it, you may even go to prison sef and that girl you went to prison for will move on with her life (probably with the same guy who sent you to prison)...

Instead of waiting time fighting with all the "toasters" in town, why not focus that time and energy on building trust (and a future) with your babe...

Stay smart awk...
Thunder fire u.. if you uver driver drop my sis in her house and now feel that's a ticket to show up tomorrow in the name of toasting.. u will get locked up for stalking and harrasment.. na so kidnapping things dey start. Arrest that shithole

Radiator is new not toks.

Transmission is standard not CVT, so I used ATF.

Gear isn't dropped. I got the pics on the internet.

I've driven it around, it still slips, jerks sometimes, delays engaging oftentimes, etc.

If water is still in gear changer, how best can I get rid of it?
If it's still slipping then it's either of three things

1. There is still water in there .. if it has a dip stick quage it and check colour.. it should be dark red.. if not Drain transmission oil change filter and put fresh ATF about 5 litres should do.

2. Ensure to use right ATF.. what brand and year is your car.. be sure you are using the right ATF recommend for your car .very crucial wrong ATF can cause issues and lead to current gear slipping

3. It's possible your gear has been compromised or damaged ..get a technician to conduct proper check..

Either way stop driving the car.. with the current slipping the more u drive the more damage it causes

Where is this converter located?

Is it the same thing as solenoid or gear changer?

D light blinks sometimes when I drive it.

I think water entered through the vent circled in red.

My radiator is a new radiator and it isn't leaking
Yes some call it gear changer. It's not a solenoid. it is the heart of the gear box where gear changes occur and about 25 % of gear oil goes in there.. u need to flush out old oil from it. but if your gear is already dropped then u are good as noted in the pics but if not drive a lil then change oil again. check oil with dip stick you should know if it is still mixed.. well that's if your car has dip stick to check trans oil .. some modern cars don't..

secondly radiator need not leak out Water for oil to mix with your transmission. Pipe can be compromised internally and you won't know.. your new radiator is it toks or new . Some toks radiator are worked and will only show issues when u install them..these Guys sometimes weld the oil pipes insid the radiator or even use glue to hold it. I had an issue like that some years back had to replace my busted radaitor. Got a clean toks but after fixing by mec.. oil mixed with transmission.. changed oil three times and filter until .
Car still drives fine. And dint drop gearbox..

Radiator is all covered with plastic underneath so u won't see it .. the only thing u see is the two pipes sticking out where the trans circulation hose goes in.. yes be sure ..those hoses are placed correctly too..some mechs mix it up and then trans overheats . Some other stupid ones block it..

Do a basic check .drain out radiator liquid if it's clear and not oily then u are good..

that circled section is not clear. But if it's a pipe then it could be compromised.. if it's a seal then replace .. have your mechanic do a proper check.. also scanning helps.. get a transmission scanning tool the blinking d light could mean your gear switch is faulty or that it's not tight or oil water ratio is still high or u used wrong trans oil or that oil is not enough or that trans is overheating... Could be anything but dnt joke with it.
If not your gear will start to slip and pack up

original trans oil varies from car to car.there is nothing like universal oil or using oando.. get the right oil.. is your trans a CVT or Standard. ..ATF oil differs from CVT oil if it is CVT get the right CVT oil. Some put ATF oil when it's a CVT.. Honda's and Nissans are common with this confusion and that's why these cars tend to have more trans issues. every car model has its own oil unique to it. Google helps.. some mechs don't even know this others are just plain ignorant..either way u get to spend the money so be sure . It's not so cheap these days.and can be scarce depending on your car model . take your time and find it. and yes change your filter too .. that's under your trans sump..it's not so expensive..dnt wash or rinse . Change..
Car TalkRe: Port Harcourt Mall Flood: Fixing A Car That Drove Through The Water by byteem: 9:12am On Oct 07, 2021

Yes.

Water entered the transmission.

I've drained/flushed it twice already.
You need to find the source where water got into transmission.. getting into flood won't cause water to get in except through the dip stick.. or through your radiator.. check your radiator if water is mixed with oil if yes then u have source.. transmission oil passes through your radiator through dedicated pipes to keep it cool. If those pipes get broken then water could get into radiator. That would happen if your radiator hits a hard surface..for that you need to replace radiator ..

If you change trans oil without fixing the issue .. water keeps getting in.. and note to use right oil.. dnt opt for cheap ones.. u might need to do oil change ike three times cause of the trans oil in converter..drive a lil bit then drain out and change..expensive yes but better to do oil change than replace gear box..but check radiator

Car TalkRe: Port Harcourt Mall Flood: Fixing A Car That Drove Through The Water by byteem:
There are several ways flood water messes up your car
1. Water sucked into engine through exhaust pipe

When driving through flood that covers exhaust pipes dnt rev the engine hard. Give accelerator just a gentle tap,switch off AC and go slowly through .. don't speed through if not water could get sucked into engine faster

2. water sucked into engine through air intake filter

Know your car and the direction of your cold air intake pipes.. if it's directed lower down ensure to remove it before passing through a large pool of water... most sport version of cars have air intake pipers facing down to allow for more cold air intake .including some German and American cars. some are even customised and stick out right under the front fender .. more air intake is good for speed but very bad during flood .. if flood covers your bonnet then there is high probability water gets into your engine through the air intake system. . This is responsible for most engine blowouts during flood..


3. Short circuit electrical systems..wires , sensors and battery..

When vehicle stays submerged in flood water for a while..I e vehicle stuck submerged in a location during flood. Rule 1.if car cannot be removed or pushed away. Ensure to remove battery and disconnect terminals to avoid short circuiting that could damage wires, brain box and sensors..

What to do

If you drive through a flood and car trips off. Don't crank or try to force start the car. As water could be in your engine .. if you do like the Camry above your engine bends..first check your oil through the dip stick if it is grey in colour then water has mixed .. also open your airfilter . if filter is wet then oil has most likely been sucked into engine . leave the car as it and have it towed or pushed.. drain oil change filter . Change airfilter too if wet.. add fresh oil. Clean plugs , coils and car will start. ..

4.check your tank .

If fuel cap is good well closed and
vehicle sructure is not compromised through rust .then water should not get into your tank . Water is heavier then fuel so if it gets in . It should sink to bottom of tank. Check to be sure ..better to service injector system than replace or rebuild engine..

5.Electrical issues associated with flood..

passing through flood won't cause electrical issues to most cars..it should start once wet components get dry .. though some vehicles are just mad shaa.benz and ford owners will testify... but if car stays submerged in water for long i.e in car park while at work during heavy rain or at home and you travelled during flood or stuck in a malls carpark..Most likely electrical systems will short circuit.. ensure to remove battery. Even if u have to enter the water .or rain or get someone to do it for you .(na you know how u value Ur car.. but safety first oo) this is important.. bad sensors can be replaced and reprogrammed.. brain box is easy to get sometimes .. but short circuiting will burn wires get them melted together and that can be really expensive to fix. While some cars never really recover..90% chance that will happen if you leave your car in flood for too long .. remove battery and allow to dry. Then check oil change if bad. Clean plugs and coils ..check airfilter .. and car should start fine.. but if you have any of those German and American money pits then it might get be a lil more complicated. Reprogramming and all .. but at least your engine won't blow or bend.

6 Rapid Expansion and contraction of engine block, valves ,and other components..

Metal breathes .. it expands when warm and contracts once cool.. Sometimes water doesn't even get into the engine or fuel system but engine still bends or blows out.. sudden rapid cooling and heating up of engine block, valves and pistons above acceptable rate occasioned by driving a warmed up car into a pool of cold water.. can cause bent valves and blowout like as noticed above..quite common with honda ,Benz and even some Lexus.
..simply put..engine pass engine.

Lastly get insurance against flood . It helps

Note .. I am not a mechanic . Alot here is from personal experience over the years.. if any in-house expert feels otherwise please feel free to correct as needed..

The sad part is if you don't pay someone else will. So what do u do.. negotiate.. if it's a high end location with competition.. then negotiate . Pay the rent to tie the place to the landlords account. Then negotiate agency ..rent is 60 k u should negotiate max 20k.. the thing is these agents rely on each other to get a location so most time they are more then two or even four sharing one agency fee.. not holding brief .. but if location is not competitive then insist on paying max 12k.. the question how.much do u want the place..
PoliticsNorth Has Election Numbers; Delusion ,myth Or Fact by byteem(op): 4:52pm On Sep 27, 2021
So, enough with the boasting and loud claims that North has the numbers. Enough is enough...

When you lie to yourself long enough,   Your falsehoods become your truth, and you begin to force your perception of the truth down people's throats as FACT. The North attempts to promote the illusion of having electoral numbers.

So, where do these figures come from? The Core North is eager to claim Benue, Kogi, Taraba, Adamawa, and Plateau for electoral reasons, yet we all know these are Middle Belt states. Apart from Kano and half of Kaduna, the North has nothing in terms of electoral numbers, as they brazenly assert, and these middle belt states, which include Kogi, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Niger, and Benue, are where the actual numbers lie.

The North also claims control over food production, but we already know that the Middle Belt states control this as well.


So, how has the middle belt fared? When it comes to enjoying the benefits of being identified as "North". Everything goes to core North. There are no federal government projects; instead, there are IDP camps and thousands of fatalities... even the rail lines that are most required in the middle belt for transportation of agricultural products go to the core North. Even the "37th state" of Nigeria is included.


Despite the instability in the core Northern states, this government gave them all projects, and when the Middle Belt protested, they were ordered to shut up like the faithful dogs they are.


It's a misconception to believe that these Northern slaves would fall for the same deception again. After all, the North treats the Middle Belt like captured slaves who must dance to their masters' tune and follow every whim, regardless of how brutally they are treated.


The reality is that in 2023, the Middle Belt will be the beautiful bride, and whoever can convince these states to support them will win. The Yoruba states were the lovely bride in the recent elections... Tinubu delivered, but only until 2023. It's all about the Middle Belt... whoever can "deliver" the Middle Belt wins...Regardless of what the North thinks giving the Middle belt Vice, with a Southern president would be a killer combination  ... but would they dare? Who knows, maybe they've grown some balls.


If the North can keep the Middle Belt faithful and loyal, there's a chance their boasts about having the numbers are true. However, we know that the Middle Belt is developing its own identity. They have suffered much under this government, and the sooner they recognize their strength and advantage in the scheme of things, the better. or maybe they already have.

Lobbying has already begun... the election for 2023 will be won in the next 9 to 12 months, not in 2023.

So now the true Nigerian politics has begun, and our naira will suffer.. more dollars required for lobbying by politicians equals less for the general economy. The value of the naira will hit rock bottom. Experts estimate that if the present pace of depreciation continues, the naira would be well over N1000 to $1 in 2023, but that's a topic for another day.
