Hey all...I have 95 Accord 2.2l 4cyl auto..I just noticed this week, when iwas driving the car up a steep road and stomped on the gas pedal and im driving the rpms were so high and the more i pushed the gas the rpms were gettin high,it wasnt down shifting when it was suppose to.Then when i came down the road and the push gas pedal, and then take my foot off the rpms would go downi get a shimmy little shack (little vibration)in the car, when the rpms went down.If anyone know whatsthe problem could be i greatly appreciate it.Thxs

 

How high were the RPM's going to? Did you have the pedal all the way to the floor?

 

no the pedal wasnt to the floor...and just chomped on pedal..the rpms was about 4500-5000..and wouldnt downshift..

 

was the speed still climbing? Do you know what a slipping clutch feels/sounds like and did it exhibit any of those signs?

 

the speed was still climbing?I dont know what a slipping clutch feels/sounds like..but it didnt feel like it was slippin...

P.S: it a automatic transmission..

 

have the tranny checked out ,, what is the condition of the fluid ??

And by the way DO NOT double post PLEASE

 

totally agree with you desert. funny thing is this guy posted the same post earlier and i answered and now i don't see it lol. can you really delete a thread? i didn't know you could. tell me how?

 

If the rpms are at 4500-5000 you don't want the car to downshift because that would push it over redline. It doesn't want to upshift to lower the rpms because then it won't have enough power to accelerate or climb the hill. Engine power is finite .... looks like you found your limit. Next time, try getting a longer running start for that hill.

 

I think he is meaning it wouldn't upshift. Like it was stuck in third and wouldn't go to fourthor something. I know he said "downshift" but from reading it I think he really means "upshift"

 

Agreed ..... I still think that his tranny is behaving properly.
