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?

[thedogghater]

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

[ricky_tillman]

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

[thedogghater]

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

[ricky_tillman]

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

[thedogghater]

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

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?
