    Diana - 1990 Honda Prelude - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 7/8/2010
    My 1990 Prelude 4WS 2.1 DOHC no longer shifts into 4 gear and winds out hard in first and second before shifting
    The tranny does not slip at all, however, sometimes it will downshift at the wrong speeds - do I need a complete replacement tranny or are there other components I could look into before having to make that kind of investment? Any input is appreciated

      Have you replaced your speed sensor? If yes then it can be a faulty speedometer cluster, if you haven't then its probably the sensor itself

      Chances are you have a problem with the VSS, it went haywire and needs replacement.

      What car do you own, i MIGHT have a step by step guide on how to do it. (replace it)

      The possible cause/s of your vehicle’s trouble is your differential fluid is low or it is contaminated. Besides your fluid level and its condition you should inspect your differential bearing it may be damaged or worn, replace if necessary.

      Identify the side making the noise. It sounds like a bad front wheel bearing.

      1. Unplug the key interlock solenoid (will require dis-assembly near the ignition key trim to access the plug) of the and see if the key can be turned, if it can test the key interlock solenoid circuit.

      2. Wiggle the steering wheel and see if the key will turn, if not then the key and tumbler has a mechanical problem and will need to be repaired by a lock smith or replaced. If it is replaced and there are new keys the immobilizer system will need to programmed.

      If the shift lever is locked in park position with the key on & the brakes applied, the brake/shift interlock is malfunctioning. Begin by inspecting stop lamp operation.

    I have an intermittant speedometer ,cruise control still works sometimes it works right away other times not
    I was going to change the vss but its a $100.00 and if its the speedometer I wasted $100. I was looking for a wiring diagram that might show how it's wired to diao it.

      Try this first

      I have a 1998 S70 and the cruise quit working. It was under warranty, so i just took it
      to the dealer. They replaced the brake light switch on the cruise.
      Apparantly, that is the "signal" that cruise needs to disengage when you hit
      the brake. The mechanic said that the switch was just too sensitive, and
      that after hitting the brake, it stayed "on" which tells the cruise system
      that you still have your foot on the brake, even though you don't. He said
      that instead of replacing the switch you could just pull up on the brake
      pedal with your foot, and that would reset the switch, mine back then was under
      warranty, so i had it replaced

      Motor has been shifted? you mean changed? just get the axle from the original car the engine came from. If its a B18C5 engine then get the axle from an Integra, H22 Prelude and so on and so forth

    Transmission tries to shift to 2nd but locks down like hitting the brakes
    The transmission only has 30,000 miles on a total rebuild. It was working fine when I had motor taken out for an engine rebuild. Now it won't shift out of first. It tries to go into 2nd but locks down really hard, as if you hit the brakes hard. Could it be incorrect ...

      Sounds like an internal problem with the rebuild again. How long ago did you have the engine rebuilt and was it dfine at first? Did anything happen right before this that might have caused the problem like spinning the tires or driving it in low gear all the time? It sounds like internal transmission problem.
      Bobby

      No the transmission was fine before the motor went bad, no tire spinning or dogging the engine. Which makes me think it's something to do with the install. Do you know which sensor or solenoid would cause this problem. Thnx kev

      If it's an auto trans, you're having transmission fluid leaks internally.
  • gmg

    2009 honda pilot with severe wear middle of right front tire. What's the cause?
     
    • HouseCallAuto
      6/29/2010 HouseCallAuto
      Well, in theory, if the right front tire were severely overinflated for several months or longer, that would do it. But, the over-inflation would have to be a lot, like instead of 35 psi, if it were like 60 or higher. Besides that, I have no additional ideas other than to say the obvious - a bad tire. Alignment does not wear the center only. One caveat though, if the tires are run-flats - they are terrible tires to have and the wear-out would not surprise me at all.
    • JunkFixer
      6/29/2010 JunkFixer
      Concur with HCA, there's not many causes for severe wear in the center of the tire tread. Overinflation of 10PSI or more, a faulty tire, or excessive wheelspin are about it. Does the vehicle have a teenaged driver?

    Transmission stays in 3rd gear when in OD. Will not shift up or down.
    Overdrive light stays on no matter what gear you select. For instance, if in park, park and OD lights will be on. Car starts off in 3rd and will not shift up at 70 mi/hr, 4500 rpms. This might go on for half an hour, 30 miles. So far, after parking and giving car ...
