    Hi,
    I have a 1990 Honda Prelude SR automatic. Can anyone tell me whether there
    is suppose to be 4 or 5 gears? I think I may have a problem with the
    transmission... when I reach 110 km/h it remains at about 3500+ rpm. I hear
    it supposed to be at around 3000rpm or less.

    Sorry I don't know much about cars.
    Thanks in advance.
    T.

    Your owner's manual tells you whether you have a lock-up torque
    converter. Most important to change tranny fluid according to the
    schedule, using only Honda Z1.

    How many times have you changed it lately? You should probably do it
    twice, a few hundred miles apart. What's your mileage, anyhow?

    All the automatic '90 Preludes sold in the US were 4 speed w/sport shift, so
    I would think 4 speed for the UK too.

    As far as rpm, my '99 manual Lude in fifth shows 3000 rpm at 60mph
    (96.6km/hr) and 3500 rpm at 70mph (112.7km/hr). I know my '90 manual Lude
    had these same kind of numbers.

    Thanks for your help.
    I just changed my transmission fluid and everything seems to run better
    now... I guess I just have to leave it as is until a major problem comes up.
    I hadn't changed the transmission fluid for a year. How often should I
    change it exactly? every 500 miles?? my mileage is 187000 right now.
