I have been having an issue with my Transmission, It appears that it having trouble engaging gears... It is an automatic transmission. Sometimes when I am in D3, when try to accelerate, only the RPM accelerate, just like the car is in neutral, other times it will be Fine. the issue always occurs if I shift into "1" and then try to accelerate

I have pulled the codes from my OBD-II port and I have received:

P0700 - Transmission Control System Malfunction
P0730 - Incorrect Gear Ratio

I really hope that the entire transmission does not need to be replaced. Hopefully it is a computer issue or something.

Any advise you can give me is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Tom

 

well I'll start off by saying your symptoms sound familiar.... ( I haven't reveiewed the codes...) there is a class action suit against honda right now for their 00 automatic trannies... they start to exhibit what you have and then they slowly go out, search the forum for "Tranny Suit" and you'll find a post all about it.... Hopefully I'm wrong but it sounds like you're about to be hosed....

 

you need a tranny call the local honda dealer they might do it under warranty ..

Honda extended the warranty on those

 

you car is covered under warranty

7 years OR 100K miles whichever comes first

 

yeah this sucks... I am over 100,000 miles... however the problem I am having is weird.... if I disconnect the battery for about 10 min, the car will be fine for about 40-50 miles which leads me to believe that this is a Computer problem.

 

its more of how ur computers relearning at that point... if reseting works... then ur TCU is just ignoring the problem

 

search for honda class action suit, or search this forum for "tranny suit" you may be covered under that...

 

how many miles now? the warranty has been extended to 109K or 7 years 9 months (tentative settlement should be final in december)

 

call your local dealer ,, they still might help you out

 

where did you get 109K from? my gf has an 2000 accord with 104K miles on it and i just called the dealership for her and they said its only covered up to 100K. So what should she do now? Any advice? Please help. Thanks.
