I have a 2004 tsx with 183,000 miles.. it started with a whinning noise 3 weeks ago coming from the transmission then like a week ago it started slipping so I stopped driving it and today when I turned it on vsa, check engine, caution triangle came on along with a flashing green D indicator...any ideas would be helpful I'm planning on taking it to the dealer next week since I don't trust any local mechanics.

have you ever done a transmission service on the car ?

Rafaelalcala

No I have not...what do they do when they do that??

kipsy

a tranny service is usually they drain the tranny, 3 quarts come out usually, and they put 3 its back in and if you do this every 15k it usually changes the fluid every 3 years.

important to use honda at fluid.

Actually I had my transmission replaced. I took it to a transmission specialist and was told that my torque converter went out due to the fact that I had never replaced my transmission filter and it clogged something inside and there wasn't enough oil going to my torque converter...to have it rebuild they where charging me $3,200 with only 1 year of warranty so I just went with a used one with alot less miles than my car.
