sorry....its looks like its coming from the cap area around there....

my car has 147,000 miles on it its going down. The tranny at 2 or 3 rd gear when reaching 3 rpms it starts to accelerate without accelerating the car. I see this when driving for long distances or time. To replace tranmission how much and whats the best alternative.

My car looks brand new outside just painted. I was thinking of getting a prelude motor with prelude tranny?

search on here, and check the noob guide. Actually, i think H series swap would be cool, and the tranny too.

Either the clutch is going or your whole tranny is going, i dont off-hand know of how much the tranny should cost, but best guess would be around 2k, +/- a few hundred

you can find a replacement radiator for about 90-100 on ebay no problem... just get one for a 94-97 accord 4cyl... you should be fine.

koyo oem replacement would be a wise choice on ebay. Replaced mines at 90K when it started leaking off the top.

Radiator's pretty straight forward, just have to make sure you drain the coolant out, and replace the correct amount of coolant
