help engine light on!

I have a 96 honda accord lx none vtec 4 cyl. My transmission was sliping
alittle for awhile but still drove fine. THen today i was drving and the
rpms was going extremely high and still bearly shifting. then my engine
light came on. I dont want to go through dealership. I was told that if the
cars still driving its not the transmission its something electrical thats
gone out. ANyone one of you guys know, its sat so i cant get it fixed yet
please help!

 

Well I guess I would check for obvious things like low fluid levels and
anything damage, loose or chewed on by rats or mice under the hood.

Then I would find out the codes for why the light is on and troubleshoot it
from there. It certainly sounds like it is transmission related though.

Follow the manual's directions about checking the tranny fluid level,
and smell the dipstick, and note the color of the fluid on the tissue.
Those facts, combined with telling us the mileage / service history will
help us all figure out your problem.

You don't have to go to the dealership but I would advise you to go to a
mechanic in your town that you trust. The mechanic can quickly determine
the source of the problem.

 

I did check the level of the fluid it was alittle above the mark but not by
much but it did smeel burnt. I had a transmission flush acouple months ago.
But i talked to one guy and he said its a electornic problem not the
transmission because I wouldnt be driving anywhere if it was the
transmission. He said its probably something connected to it. My car drives
but if revs all the way up and barely shifts. ANy suggestions?

Well, that sounds like the syncromesh (sp?) system is on it's way out.
EXPENSIVE! Sorry but from my experience with Honda, their transmissions are
garbage and when the automatics die, they take your wallet with them...

Be happy that you aren't driving something with all wheel drive. At least
this repair (rebuild, replacement) will be in the 'low' 4 figures...

Does you know what a syncromesh is?


Sorry but from my experience with Honda, their transmissions are

 

I believe the original poster has an automatic transmission, in which
case there would be no synchromesh.
