Hey guys, I'm just thinking out loud here, but I was reading through some stuff online and noticed that some people don't recommend flushing/replacing the trans fluid on older cars, because that messes up the tranny and forces you to repair or replace it. Here's the thing, my '93 EX with 193K had the transmission replaced  85K in fall 2001...for whatever reason. It was done before I owned the car, but I have the AAMCO documents to prove it. With a little over 100K on this transmission, should I do a flush or should I just leave it be until it gives out (who knows how long that'll be...it's only 7 years old.) I'm split right down the middle, since my transmission isnt old, but yet it's still got some mileage on it. Thanks for any insight!

Replying to: twa727 (Apr 27, 2008 7:20 pm) Cleaner fluid should flow better, and it should help the transmission work smoother. But as far as solving serious transmission problems, it will not fix something that's worn out. Have you checked the level and condition of the fluid? The dipstick is down low towards the front of the car, and should have a yellow loop. Drive the car for a little while, then check the fluid. If the fluid is dark, dirty, or smells burnt, it should be changed. How many times you do the drain and fill depends on how bad the fluid, and the drain plug magnet look. |

Hi guys. I decided to replace the power steering pump of my 1990 Accord myself . Is it pretty much unbolt and bolt the new one? Is there anything that I need to do about bleeding or draining the power steering fluid and tensioning the belt? A step by step guide in doing this replacement would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi all, Can someone refresh my memory and and tell me when the ABS light goes on what does it mean and is it expensive to fix. Will a brake job be totally unrelated to an ABS job? My thought was if I had a brake job done it'll fix the ABS lighting problem. Thanks Cybercool

Replying to: cybercool (Apr 30, 2008 6:30 pm) The ABS light comes on for problems with the speed sensors, problems with the computer brain, or problems with the hydraulic actuator. No, getting new brake pads will not fix the ABS light. |
