Ok. So check the transmission fluid to see if it's dark or smells burnt. See how it shits while driving. Make sure the A/C works properly.

These cars had major problems with A/C compressors locking up. If it's been replaced with a quality part consider that a good thing!

If it's an auto just make sure the tranny is clean. The 1G TSX had a pretty decent tranny but it's still important it was properly maintained over the years.

Other than that, look for little things. Make sure the suspension doesn't clunk, check to see if there's slack in the steering, see if it jercks when shifting from P to R to N to D. Just check little things like that.


There were three other videos as a part of this series but this will probably help the most given your situation...

And last but not least... It's always a good idea to bring it in for a shop inspection!

If it shits while you're driving, you know it's the one!
