Replying to: mcurrie (Mar 17, 2006 6:49 pm) I would check the tranny fluid first. It might be low. Replies to this message: mcurrie (Mar 19, 2006 10:52 am)

Replying to: chucko3 (Mar 18, 2006 7:15 pm) Thanks I will change the fluid it has a burnt smell and looks very dark. That is the reason the person said to replace the transmission. He did not test the drive the car or anything. He just checked the transmission fluid. I'll see if any of these suggestions work. mcurrie

Replying to: mrbill1957 (Mar 18, 2006 6:19 am) PCV valve failure, another good example of loss of vacuum related engine conditions. The vacuum was going right through the empty PCV valve body.
#47 of 412 Leaking Oil Woes by gold_driver Mar 20, 2006 (12:50 am)
I just bought a 1989 Accord LX auto-trans with 135k miles. Mechanic changed the oil filter mount O-ring when I bought it (no time to do it myself) but said the oil pan gasket may be leaking since there still was some oil drops happening. I finally had some time on hand and I'm mechanically capable myself, so I changed it out. I was very careful and meticulous in setting some gasket sealant (pliable non-hardening type) on both sides of the gasket. When I was under the engine looking up to the oil filter and surrounding area, I saw plenty of oil droplets clinging to several surfaces/hoses/bolt heads above the oil filter and filter mount. With the extra clearance of the oil pan removed, I changed out the oil filter with a rag stuffed right under the mount, so no dribble. Then installed the pan with the new gasket and sealant.   Problem: still leaking oil. Assuming it's not the pan gasket, or the filter mount O-ring, what other likely suspects are there? Rear main seal? And/or?   Any and all advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: ronin_301 (Mar 26, 2006 10:49 am) lindellkemmet (Apr 25, 2006 4:25 am)
#48 of 412 Clutch '87 Honda Accord lxi by seabird Mar 20, 2006 (8:11 am)
Runs great, only 40,000 miles. I'm told it needs a new clutch, but when I've called dealerships I get quotes of 700 up to 1200 dollars for the work. Should clutch replacement only be done at Honda dealerships? How much should this realistically cost? How will I know when the old clutch is about to completely go out on me? Thanks for any help/advice.

Replying to: seabird (Mar 20, 2006 8:11 am) $1,200 seems high. It depends on what they replace in there. If you need flywheel resurface (or a new flywheel) plus clutch disk plus pilot bearing plus throw-out bearing plus rear main engine seal, plus labor, it's going to add up.   If your clutch is slipping at all, it's ready to go. You can test a clutch by putting stress on it, like deliberately going slightly uphill while in too high a gear (say fourth at 20 mph) and stepping on the gas forcefully...it should slip like crazy if it's weak.   Any independent shop can do a Honda clutch....$700 seems more reasonable, or around there. But don't cut corners and don't go to some grease pit of a shop. If the flywheel is grooved or burned or cracked, REPLACE it or you'll have clutch shudder.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 20, 2006 9:44 am) Thanks! Finding a hill in Chicago can be tough, but I'll test it. Glad I found you. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 20, 2006 10:16 am) seabird (Mar 21, 2006 3:52 pm)
