This is my wifes accord and after being driven for a min the d4 light starts flashing and it seems like it only has 1st and 4th gears. Anyone have any ideas.

 

check your codes but it sounds like it’s your solenoids....very common to our gen accords

 

well its not showing a light or anyting

 

Flashing D4 is the "check-engine" light for transmission errors.
Short the SCS connector just like you're checking for CEL codes. But it's the D4 light that flashes it's code instead of (or along with) the CEL. The trans code list is different from the CEL codes. Post back what you get.

 

how do i do that is it under the carpet or someting

 

ok the transmission is pulling a 7 and the motor is pulling a 2 but they are long pulses
