Sorry for disappearing. Life has been busy

Anyways, I have a problem that suddenly arose.

1996 Honda Accord DX 2.2 Non- vtec. We just had the head changed, and everything was running top notch, but one day to the next the car felt as if the Tranny was slipping. I didn't hear any cluncks, or any sudden jerks as a faulty transmission usually does. The car had no symptoms of the transmission going bad. Fluid was fine, but I dumped it and no shavings or anything, I changed out the solenoids but no success. I will be pulling me CEL codes again, since I forgot them, But I will post them up soon.

I am narrowing it down to my torque converter, or TCM. Anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance.

 

I don't think 96-on had separate TCMs; it's combined with the ECU.

Good page for troubleshooting:

 

Yea. They are the same component.

I am probably going to change it out and see if I get any results.

 

All my Gen 5 accords have had sketchy torque converters. How exactly is it acting? Slow between up shifts? Reving out before catching on the down shift? From a dead stop if u stop on it does it Rev then take some time to catch . Where are u noticeing problems on the upshift. Or downshift?

 

All the problems you mentioned I have. Now it wont even engage any gears.

 

Just revs and don't move? If so your torque converter is fried. The rest of the tranny might be good. But you probably burn up the torque converter. Gen 5 auto trannys don't have a changeable filter. Their internal and they sometimes get plugged up and it don't pump enough tranny fluid into the torque converter and they burn up. If you have no drive or reverse and it just revs like its in nuetral that's more then likely your problem
