I just recently put a brand new transmission in my 1986 honda accord but now that's its been a while since I put it it, it now seems like the transmission is going out.
My uncle who graduated from his class in UTI says that there is not a transmission filter in the transmission. Does anybody have any clue why why that is?

All tranimisson have some type of filter some are inside and some are on the outside that looks like a oil filter.what are the problems u are having,and was it a used trans,or rebuilt the one that was in there and how many miles are on this one

My problems are: having to go to like 4 thousand rpms and then it will shift(by the way its an automatic) and I would say about 10,000 miles are put on it if that it was a re-built transmission

I would have that checked out right away.it should still be under still.but I would drive it as less as u can till u have it check out.it sounds as if it is internal,maybe the linkage.Think u would be best to take it to a tranmison shop please let me know if this help u

Yes I will I my g-pa say it might be the bands if the bands are loose they can be tightend

That is true the bands could be loose.good luck wish u the best

Thanks I hope for the best too

Most Honda ATXs have an internal ATF screen. Warm up the engine and transaxle, drain the ATX, and refill with Mobil 1 Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF or Amsoil Universal Synthetic ATF. ATXs perform much better and last much longer using synthetic ATF.

OK OK how would I drain the tranny fluid is there a bolt or a plug I un-screw or or pull, is there a way to clean the atf screen? And is that what's making my tranny seem as if it was cloged or starting to go out?
