#1120 of 1756 Re: 93 Accord SE leaking transmission fluie [twcinnh] by lilengineerboy Mar 10, 2008 (2:00 pm)
Replying to: twcinnh (Mar 10, 2008 5:45 am) The transmission cooler for the automatic is integrated into the radiator. The radiator is plastic with metal clips IIRC. The metal clips rust and bust the plastic connections when someone tries to remove them. All the radiator changes I've done have been with manuals, but even those hose clips can be challenging to get off without breaking 15 year old heat cycled weather beaten plastic. I would think a professional could get the trans coolant line off without busting the radiator, but I could also see that plastic connection as being the failure mode itself.

#1122 of 1756 92 Accord LX Radiator Replacement by automoron Mar 11, 2008 (7:53 pm)
My Honda dealer says my 92 Accord (manual trans) w/181K miles needs the radiator replaced, and that this is not very difficult to do myself. I am looking for feedback for those who have tried, to confirm this.   Also, does anyone know of a link to step-by-step instructions with pictures? Thanks.

Replying to: automoron (Mar 11, 2008 7:53 pm) I don't know of an internet how-to, but you can buy one of those cheap ($15-$20) manuals from Autozone, and it will have the step by step with pictures. The main secret is to remove the radiator with the fans still attached, switch the fans to the new radiator, and replace as a unit. Not too difficult.

Replying to: jazzchaz (Mar 07, 2008 10:28 pm) It does sound like a worn motor mount symptom.    First, check the engine torque rod (fwd side of the engine compartment). Its purpose is to prevent the engine from rocking with torque changes. The spoked rubber inserts in the rod tend to deteriorate and break.   It's easy to remove and replace if you need one. Just use your jack and a block of wood under the oil pan to support the engine and remove the two bolts. A new one should only cost $15 - $30 aftermarket.

Replying to: labetteboy (Mar 10, 2008 6:46 pm) It's a pretty common problem with this car, usually caused by a faulty fast idle thermo valve. The FIT valve is the cylindrical shaped valve located on the forward side of the air intake plenum. To check, do the following:   Start the engine and remove the top cover plate on the valve (two phillips screws). Place your finger over the valve seat. When the engine is cold, you should feel air flow across your finger. When the engine is hot, you should not feel any air flow. If either of these is not as described, the FIT valve is faulty.   In the event you find that the FIT valve is the culprit, and you decide to replace it, try this before buying a new one:     With the cover off, inside the valve you'll see a white plastic retaining ring with two slots cut on opposite sides. Using a small screwdriver or other suitable tool in one of the slots, carefully try to spin the ring clockwise. If it is loose enough to turn easily, continue tightening in small increments until the idle quits surging. I had the same problem with my car a couple of years ago and this worked for me.

#1128 of 1756 squeak! by twa727 Mar 13, 2008 (1:27 pm)
Hey guys!   Recently I've noticed a new sound when I start up my Accord. Right when the motor fires up, there is a high pitched sqeak that lasts about a second and then goes away.   Is this serpentine belt or timing belt slippage, indicating that they need replacing?   thanks.

Replying to: twa727 (Mar 13, 2008 1:27 pm) It's probably the serpentine (drive) belt or maybe a bearing. If the drive belt is slipping, your tensioner could be worn out. Does the belt feel tight, when you push on it?    If the timing belt were to slip, you would know about it (engine would not run well, if at all). The timing belt has cogs on it, so it will usually break, before it slips. Replies to this message: twa727 (Mar 13, 2008 6:40 pm)
