I get 1998 Honda accord Cpe Ex 2.3L with 116,xxx miles and the problem is after replace the transmission, the start fine but when shift in Drive/reverse position the car kick. I though were the motor mounts. I replace new front motor and rear motor mount, the car still kick. Could someone please tell me what to look for or any suggestions. I really need you guys help to resolve this problem.

Thanks,
Henry

 

Maybe adjust the cable that goes from the throttle body to the transmission?

Try to shake the engine to see if one of the other motor mounts is loose?

 

I did check the trans mount and driver side (engine mount) mount. All the bolts are tight and mount is good. I will look into the adjust the cable that foes from the throttle body to the transmission. I will let you know tomorrow.

Thanks,
Henry

 

the cable that foes from the throttle body to the transmission look fine and I forget to mention is an automatic. Any other idea or suggestions.

 

I would have the codes scanned at a parts store to see if a sensor is messed up.

 

HI PAHonda,
What kind of sensor do you things is messed up? I still had old transmission that I replace still has sensors there. Thanks Henry

 

The point is that I do not know what is wrong, so I am trying to help you diagnose a problem. If you found an error code, then you could troubleshoot that specific sensor. That is something that is relatively simple to do, vs throwing parts at the car.

Have you changed the transmission fluid? Did you use Honda ATF? Maybe clean the lockup and shift solenoids and the screens?

 

did you change the tranny yourself? or have some one do it? a friend of mine had this problem and it ended being a flywheel, some of the teeth were worn down too far to make contact. did you or anyone else see damage on flywheel?

 

also, was it a new, used or rebuilt transmission?

 

It was a used transmission and no one see damage on flywheel.
