P1751 Mechanical Problem in Hydraulic Control System of Shift Solenoid Valve B and A/T Clutch
Pressure Control Solenoid Valves A and B, or Problem in the Hydraulic Control System


sounds like a baddd problem way outta my league.

RE: trans problem
 

I would start by looking for wires that came loose or linkage that's loose somewhere around the linkage, do you still feel resitance all around when you shift to different gears? any noise? just a few thoughts....

RE: trans problem
 

aamco....if you have one of those will check your transmission for free.

RE: trans problem
 

wel i took it to my uncles guy and its internal so they're gonna have to rebuilt it. is 14oo agood price to rebuild the v6trans?

RE: trans problem
 

aaaaah.......no not really........**** unk cant hook it up any better than that? see how much he will just install one for.... cause you can get a reman trans for about 1000 and LKQ might be able to get you a good used one for around 750...definately give LKQ a call though.

RE: trans problem
 

Call honda i herd they may fix it for free .

RE: trans problem
 

i thought about honda but i have like 76k miles on it and its 5yrs old so the factory warrenty is long gone.

RE: trans problem
 

well i foundout that the trans rebuid was expensive, because they had to replace the clutch drum. now my check engine light is on and it says its the shifter selecter. i assume that its the sensor connected to my gear shifter by my center console. am i correct in thinking this?

RE: trans problem
 

so you had the transmission rebuilt for 1400 and the check engine light is still on??? you took it to the wrong place. i feel really bad so many people on here it seems are taking their cars to these ****ty shops that are doing half ass work and charging up the ass, how frustrating. this just reaffirms that i am not taking my car anywhere to be serviced, i dont even want the bum at the gas station cleaning my windows anymore. geesh well thats my ramble... to answer your question i dont know....i dont know why they would have messed with the shifter inside of your car, there is no reason to do this when taking off the tranny for rebuild......so i my first guess would be something on the tranny itself. but, with these crappy shops who knows what the hell they were really doing on your poor car.

RE: trans problem
 

and a clutch drum? what the hell is that? that must be like blinker fluid or something. i guess he meant the torque converter? well there was probably nothing wrong with that.

RE: trans problem
 

something tells me you don't have a clutch drum... check out this example... it's used on small engines for a centrifical (sp) style of clutch... not for a car

RE: trans problem
 

Lightshow, you said that you can get a tranny for $750-$1000 right? First, who or what is LKQ? Secondly, what would you look for in a rebuilt tranny?, things to avoid? I'm looking into some options for my car (2000 LX Coupe V6), just due to the fact that it seems like the weakest link in these models is the transmission. The only problem that I have (knocking on wood as we speak) is when I place the car in reverse and let up off the brake, sometimes there is a 'chunk' or 'thud' sound. It's almost like the gear is 'catching up'. I'm not sure, and I haven't really begun to investigate, but thought that a less milage tranny (mine has 102k) might have a better chance in the long-run. Maybe not though, I could be picking up somebodys problems.

Thanks for any guidance,

Steve

RE: trans problem
 

steve how long have you owned the car? and how well do you maintain the tranny? used trannys are a risk. lkq is a nationwide junkyard, and they put a 6 month warranty on all their parts. my ex's 3.0 cl has the same tranny as yours and its got about 140k on it. it couldnt possibly be any smoother. the fluid is changed every 15 with atf z1. the tranny isnt a weak link, ****ty ass owners are the weak link

RE: trans problem
 

I've had the car all of 4 months. I'm trying to get as much information before I delve under the hood, just so that I kind of know what I'm doing. I really don't drive the car very hard (it's an auto by the way), so I'm trying to take care of it as long as possible. I used to own a 1990 Toyota Tercel (bought it new), so this is quite an improvement. I'm assembling tools and parts to do specific maintenance to the car, I just haven't had enough time yet.

I think that these are great cars, and can run forever with good upkeep, hence, that's why I'm inquiring. My statement about the tranny was mainly made only because I had previously been looking at getting a TL/CL of the same year, and had been reading about their transmissions having issues after 100K. I didn't know they were the same kind.

Basically I'm wanting to know the best way to figure out the problem before it gets worse, and what other options I have. I'm pretty sure you can't buy a new tranny, and as far as finding a refurbished one - I have no clue of knowing what I'm getting. Having mine rebuilt may be an option, but where I live (Saint Petersburg, FL) there seems to be few 'tuner' places. Not to say they are the only ones who can do the job, but I'm not savvy when it comes to locating those kinds of places.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know some of the 'ins & outs' about these issues.

If there is anything else you can think of that I can do, or answers I can give, just let me know.

RE: trans problem
 

you can check the status of your tranny by looking at the fluid. and just in general change it out right now. a drain and refill needs just under 3 quarts. if you see metal or brown fluid or it smells burnt then your tranny is heading out. the real problem is that there is alot of heat occuring in your tranny so it breaks down the fluid faster than what would normally happen in some other trannies. you have to consider that maybe this design was done on purpose. make the cars that arnt maintained have problems that cost so much......that it's more cost effiective to just send it to the junkyard. the world is just left with the ones that were taken care of, and that look good. those are the cars that are wanted on the road cause they contribute to brand image. there are already so many old hondas on the road that look like **** because they just wont die. mercedes is like that. if you dont maintain it, it will cost 5 times more to fix it than its even worth

Honda extended their warranty for transmission for 00-01 accords. it's 7yrs/100k.
