    If it's an automatic (the transmission shifts for you and there isn't a
    clutch pedal) get ready to find someone who can replace the transmission
    with a rebuilt unit. Or you can get another '90 Accord for the same
    price. bob

    using my psychic powers, i can see that it's a stick and he's got a leak
    in the clutch fluid... shame it's not wednesday.

    I'm going with automatic,as a close read of the message reveals that"it
    wanted to shift......".
    I may be wrong. It has happened before, many years ago. bob
