- You can fix a Honda Accord transmission shifting or slipping problem with a crowbar and q-tips. If it is clogged solenoids it is not hard to do. Watch and you will see how easy it is.
Heres a comment from paul thorpe that explains the symptoms....
Freaking Awesome....IT WORKED....I only took out the top Solenoid (not under battery). The filters were absolutely clogged. It took me about 10 q-tips to get all the gunk out. My problem was that when I first started it it wouldn't shift to second gear unless I moved it into neutral for a few seconds....then it would go to second. I dreaded stop signs b/c idiots would always honk b/c I had to take of slow because now it wouldn't start out in first but rather second gear from a stop. What is sad is my mechanic and Aamco said I need a new/used transmission, cost at least 2k.... But what I noticed is when car was warmed up, the problem went away. So I thought that it couldn't be a bad tranny so I wanted to eliminate other things. Thank God I found this....I didn't spend a cent....just cleaned the filters......THANKS Y'ALL
That was awesome. I subbed. Great closeups. To the point.
2002 Accord. 225k miles. Started getting p0730 check engine. Changed the fluid. Fixed the problem. Now a month later problem is back but only in the cold morning for about 5 minutes till it warms up then shifts smooth again. I’m probably gonna wind up cleaning the solenoids next. Thanks again this just what I needed. Oh yeah and great tunes.
Thanks for the sub! Sounds like you are on the right track. Keep us informed
Thanks! I cleaned out the gunk on the first set of filters out. I used parts cleaner to spray it off then reinstalled. Mine was shifting abnormal and would over rev/ delay shifts on all gears even at a stop light. after doing this, it drove fine. And still does. Took about 40 minutes to do.
Great to hear! Tks for taking time to comment!
Did you only do the easy access one ?
garner newman I did both but honestly the one below the battery was clean. I cleaned it out anyways just in case and reinstalled. The battery tray is held on by a bolt you loosen it and slide up and it comes off at least that’s how it was on mine
baltazar chavez how bad was the paper gasket on yours ?
garner newman it didn’t have a paper gasket it was a rubber one it looked worn but I reinstalled as is and it worked fine no leaks. I didn’t want to purchase one of it was still going to shift abnormal. I’m sure they are cheap though and recommend replacing it if your ride is nice.
MOST of the time this is what you need to do all automatic accords. Change the gaskets and fluids with filter. I've worked on more than 10 of these and its always the same. Only one had a new transmission (owner wanted manual swap). Great video!!
I am honored by a thums up coming from an expert! Tks!
You can also test them to see if they're working with 2 simple wires that go from the battery to the solenoids. They should make a click sound and they should also read 2-3ohms of resistance.
@@trdjody i did a fluid change and cleaned both solenoids 3 times, lasts 4 weeks b4 needed to do the job again. 260k miles on trans. do you think i need to fluid change again or what ? thanks.
@@carlexus3133 if you clean the solenoids screens and also flush out the old fluid then where is the gunk coming from that clogs the solenoids so quick again?
@@carlexus3133 you forgot the filter... read trd jojo`s comment again.
Thank you so much. This totally worked. I was getting a P0730 code(replace transmission assembly), along with slipping gears. Freaked me out. Took the solenoids off, and sure enough there was gunk in there. Car drives fine now.
Great to hear! It is so sad when even the code reader is trying to screw us. Pls consider subscribing, your comment is great! Could use more folks like you here!
Having this same problem on my moms Honda. Did the problem ever came back on your car?
Seriously, I can't understand why this isn't listed as a periodic maintenance item by Honda. They probably should be inspected every 60,000 miles. But then again Honda doesn't even mention inspecting the PCV valve in the list of maintenance items in the owners manual. Unbelievable how they dropped the ball on this.
Gotta keep the Honda mechanics busy you know!
I spent $100 at the Honda dealer so they could tell me the sloppy 2-3 upshift means NEW Transmission. No indication of this whatsoever.
@@landontesar3070 It's because Honda doesn't acknowledge this as a problem but it most definitely is due to their faulty design. It could have easily been avoided by using an ATF filter.
Transmission Filter on 2003 - 2007 Honda:
Replacable external ATF filter. You will find this by standing opposite the front left tire and looking down, over the engine fuse box.
Part number: 25430-PLR-003
I have a 2002 Honda Accord 4cyl, and I got a P0780 code recently with the flashing D4. It was shifting all strange and RPMs shooting higher like the trans was slipping. I removed both sets of these solenoids, the clutch pressure solenoid filter screens were clean, but the second set with the 2 screens were completely clogged. After cleaning and putting everything back to together it shifts super smooth now and no more engine code.
Good info there Ryan. Tks for writing & consider subscribing for more! We can use all the good comments !
What product did you use to clean the clog.
@@tafa I just used some Carb cleaner and a microfiber towel. Cleaned it up nicely. I was amazed how clogged they were.
Exact. Same. Thing. Can’t tell you how much I love how simple of a fix this was. If I would have got this issue with my BMW I would have financially lost it.
Nice. I have a 1993 and the d4 light stays on with shifting problems. Was thinking it was the tcu circuit board but I cleaned solenoid as you prescribed and performed a total reset on both tcu and ecm by connecting jumper cable to positive post (cable connected) and negative cable (disconnected from battery). Will get back if this lasts. Test drove for a few nervous miles.
RB this is a great post! Please keep us informed of any updates & consider subscribing . Your expertise would be very welcome!
Found out the d4 came on after a day and now think it's the tcm after all. D4 not blinking but solid light
Good info! Tks again for sharing
Excellent well done video highly appreciated thanks

I literally changed every thing mentioned in this video and I still can’t get passed second gear. I drive a 2002 Honda Accord and at this point I’m assuming it’s the ECM. Has anyone else ever had the same problem?
these cars have weak tranny, especially if they are abused. LET US KNOW the outcome!
Bro I'm going thru the same damn shit. In between first and second . And then coming back down as well. Mine is the 6 cylinder tho. Have you figured anything out?
@@tylerlame2280 I ended up fixing it by rebuilding the entire trans. I put in a new JDM trans that had about 30k miles on it and I changed every shift solenoid and censor
You ever find out exactly what it was?
@@tylerlame2280 that’s what it was lol the trans and all the shift solenoids were super old and beat up. The ECM and everything else was fine
Own a 2000 Accord SE with 200k and was dealing with sluggish shifts. This video was very helpful. A 3 qt fluid swap two times, and cleaning of the screens made a marked difference in performance. Interestingly, the VTEC solenoid screen clogged at a similar mileage. I think it is very important to note to do a fluid swap in addition to the cleaning of the screens. Thanks again! (ps. PITA)
Well done Corey! I agree, fluid change & cleaning as shown are the way to go!
Yeah gotta change the fluid else it will just clog the screen again
I would replace the VTEC solenoid gaskets (which include the screens) if they haven't been replaced already because they are likely rock hard and leaking oil all over the back of the engine by this time. I had mine replaced by my mechanic about three years ago because they are a bit difficult to get at and I didn't have the right tools to do the job.
I have a 03 accord that drives rough, I’m told it’s a transmission sensor. Would doing this maybe help my problem?
dont know about what rough means and sensors, but if shifting is wierd i would try this if you go time
So the lock up solenoid (first one) new replacement gasket with the attached screens is about $30 from Honda. The shift solenoid gasket (second one) is only $5 in case you need them.
Great tips Gene. Tks for sharing & subbing!
What shifting problems did you have ? My 2000 honda accord goes up to third gear and then like just stays there doesnt go to fourth or anything
Very similar. Please refer to paul thorpe comment in the description at top for more details
Need new tranny
Hi, great video, I have a civic 2001 that slips into false neutral when the engine is warm. The fluid has been recently changed and i dont think the mechanic used honda atf. What should i do first.
Me, I would check the solenoid you can see then test. Save the ones under the battery for later as the access is harder. Gpod luck! Pls consider subscribing my channel can use more great comments like this!
IT FIXES MY 98 accord problem but i only clean the top solenoid, I should’ve clean the bottom solenoid too dang it...smh
Good for you. Maybe bottom is ok, but i doubt it. Pls subscribe for more !
the bottom is easy.. do it!
Me too , i just clean the top .. it still hesitate a little a little if I press the gas a little heavy.. i just bought a transmission fluid but i need to clean the bottom 1st , see if anything cure..
what would i be asking the guys at the parts store for......transmission solenoid gaskets? great video. hope this helps my problem.
That sounds good. Did gasket rip or are you being prepared in case? My gasket peeled off nice. You could always take a screenshot of the video & show the guy.
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 just being prepared. i have a 99 lx with 335k. trans slips alittle and kinda hard shifting now. I already have the intake manifold off to clean the EGR passages. stumbled on your video while lookng for how to replace trans vids. picture is a good idea. not sure if it will help though, the people at my orielys are pretty clueless ...lolthx again for the vid, probably saved a lot of people some money.

Best most helpful video on this topic hands down idk why people can't be like this 🤦♂️ thanks breva
Thanks! Maybe a fluid change if it only slips when hot.....
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 thanks will try that is that a trans flush with machine?
@@torothebeast1112 missed your comment. we just drain thru pan plug, refill & repeat twice. That works for us. Less fiddling with the OEM the better.
I've done this multiple times. It keeps getting clogged wtf is this bullshit
Im sad. Is it fine stuff or chunky... like rotten hose?Maybe its time to drop the pan & give it a good drain & refill.
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 I've already done that. It's like gunk or something I don't know but when I clean the shift solenoids I can blow it right out like it was bad. I think I might need to replace the tcm cus a tcm code popped up on my car when I took it to autozone. Like the car will shift hard but drive fine after a while it'll start slipping and rims would go up and like the gears aren't even engaging. Yet when I do a first start up it'll drive and shift fine but hard then after a while slippage and weird rims getting stuck and going up and down lmao. It's gotta be the tcm. I've replaced the tranny twice and it does the same thing.
You got a lot of cleaning to do.
@@gfriedman99 nah I had my solenoids tested and tranny. Figured out the issue. My pcm.
September 10 2024 I had this video pop up looking for information how to replace some instrument bulbs.
Anyway, one of the main problems people say the gen 6 accord is transmission failure. I wonder how many people got taken for told they needed a new or rebuilt trans only to have these filters cleaned?
Those filters could easily be the reason Honda automatic trans in the gen 6 go bad. If the transmission doesn't get the required circulation of fluid it is bound to fail. It is no different then a engine with no oil pressure.
I have a 2002 accord. I don't drive nearly as much as I used to. The past 4 year's I am lucky if I drive more then 4000 miler per year. I know that is nothing. I drove 86 miles one way to work for year's. Lucky for me I had a company vehicle and fuel card. Sorry I got off subject. I will be using your video to make sure the screens in my accord trans are clean. Thank you for posting the video. Year's later and it still helps people that drive old car's.
Glad to help! Tks for the like! Yea that is a neat trick . The many people who junked their honda for that kinda minor fix must be staggering.
Will this work for the 3.0 transmission?
I am not a pro but my research [honda shop manual] does not say the 3.0 tranny is any different than the 4 banger. take a look &pls let me know!
Old artist is my other channel. Sorry. I do this all the time...
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 well I have no point of reference to go by. This is my first Honda so I’m new to the platform. Seems like what’s happening is it’s shifting kinda hard from 1st to 2nd until it gets up to operating temperature and then it smooths out
@@johnwhitaker545 pls read other comments and consider subscribing to my channel for more advice
So I have 1998 Honda accord she was driving perfect then all of a sudden it sounded like a piece of metal snapping the engine light came on it drove real slow it goes in all gears any idea what it could be
My got stuck in the mud the transmission line busted fixed put new fluid in it D4 light flashes it only went 20mph then stop doing anything so does that mean it's done or just needs fixing did the Reverse to Drive rock while stuck in the mud the linear solenoid connector broke too replaced that too! So is it fixable the Transmission work great before that!
Sorry to hear. Maybe mud got in there somehow & clogged things up. Perhaps another viewer had a similar experience.
brotha man thank you so much,. I have a 2002 Honda Accord. V6 auto trans. malfunction code P0780. its a shift malfunction. delays from 1st going to 2nd. but once it warms up the shift isn't as hard. was dreading the cost of a new transmission as well. im gonna give this a try, appreciate the video!
Hope it works for you my friend. Let me know...If it does pls thank me by subbing to the channel.
did the same. became much better, but it is not completely gone. I was driving car whole evening and it is happened again maybe 1-2 times. any advice?
Wish i knew more. Maybe drain fluid? Let us know if you find a new tip. Best luck!
At the 6 second mark on the white diagram there are the numbers 11 and 12 what solenoids are those? And do i need to clean those as well
NM I believe you are talking about the ones under the battery. I did both sets. So I say do the 2 sets of solenoids. Not that hard. Is one is more important than the other?. Depends on how your car is acting. Doing half the job may give you a half assed repair. Good luck!!!
I’m stumped I did a jdm swap of the 2.3 on my 1999 accord everything is working how it should expect the transmission I swapped all the sensors and solenoids on the jdm to American ones cleaned valve a which is the torque converter clutch solenoid i didn’t clean clutch pressure control solenoid bc I looked at the screens and didn’t see anything, I’ma test valve b and c to see if those are faulty but they were brand new, so any suggestions I wouldn’t think it’s the tranny itself bc that thing is a low mileage transmission and a low mileage engine the fluid levels do concern me since on level ground one second says it’s got the right amount next it says it ain’t got any, I ain’t a mechanic and have very little knowledge dose anyone know what this could be ? Also threw one code when test driving which is p0730
sorry, wish i could help but it sounds like its one of those mysteries you need to call a honda doctor for....that fluid mystery is maybe the cause. did you use honda fluid/
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 yeah I used dw-1 atf and ordered two more quarts so I would have 6 in total bc I did the recommended amount when you do when you change which is 2.6 quarts I believe but since it wasn’t on a level surface and I had it on stands I think I pulled out more and so I think the torque converter isn’t full so it’s giving me a p0730 after driving it for a couple miles on the crap shifting, idk if what I wrote made sense but I tried to put it in a way to be understood, thank you for replying
What size bolts were in the solenoid under the battery
dont have the car here but i guess 8 mm but alwas metric. good luck Z!
Hi mate, my 2001 accord (115k kms) wanting to jerk forward at stop lights and signs after being on the highway for a bit. It doesn't happen when the car is cold, but seems to start after it has time to wake up and warm up. Usually on my way home from work and when I have more traffic. With my foot on the brake the car it seems to be in some cycle, and jerks forward. If I didn't have the brake down it would just smash the car in front of me. And if I try to press the gas peddle down in the off cycle feeling it clunks to get moving. If I catch it in the forward cycle no issues. When I put the car in neutral the problem goes away. Until again I have to drive.
The car has normal power, speed, and gas mileage. I just changed plugs and wires to test the issue and that didn't fix it. Somebody told me transmission gone bad. Even i replaced 2 transmissions. (Off course from donor cars which were crashed and written off) but the problem is still there!!!!!! Got checked by mechanic if its something else. But mechanic says its transmission. Please help.
Thanks in advance
Maybe lockin up when it shouldnt....Never had that one. Let us know if screen clean helps or ??? Best of luck!
Clean your lockup screen. Use honda atf.
I’m experiencing The same I was gonna change my transmission but idk yet
Holy cow I don’t know there was a 3rd solenoid
Glad to help! Tks for the like!
So I had some time today to do the "easy one". How did you get the top bolt out? The steel ATF line is right above it - no clearance (at 0:33). I tried stubby wrench, wobble socket, universal - no go. The only way I can see getting to it is to remove that ATF line that's above it. Is that what you did?
Yes that was a challenge. I believe we used a open end wrench. Or maybe a crow foot. A little at a time till it got so we could grab it. Didn't take off atf line.
I@@bootlegcustomshop4129 I am going to try removing that line or at least loosening that large bolt that holds it to the trans case so that hopefully I can wiggle the steel line out of the way. Geez, Honda could have put a bigger curve in the line to avoid covering that bolt - plenty of space north of it. Just crazy busy with work now due to the holidays plus good weather days are getting far and fewer between now.
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 So yesterday the car became almost undriveable even shifting manually down to 1 or 2 stopped working. Fortunately my day off today was a nice day so I went ahead and tackled this job. I had to get the ATF line out of the way for the top solenoid bolt. No way around it. Actually pretty simple. 17mm gets the bolt at the end of the tube. Careful there are 2 aluminum washers above and below the ATF tube - they're the same washer thats used on the oil drain plug. Next 10mm on the side bracket - an open end or better yet those ratcheting box wrenches get it. Last is the 10mm holding the tube near the top solenoid bolt. Now the line can be moved out the way. Easy 3 10mm bolts for the solenoid. My screen was clogged worse than yours. Totally packed. I couldn't even see daylight through it holding it up to the sky. I could have cleaned it, the rubber was still pliable but opted for a new one anyway. So put it all back together being careful not to cross thread any bolts. 10mm gets 8.7ft/lbs the 17mm gets 21ft/lbs. About an hour job. Couldn't believe how well it shifts now. Like new again. Hasn't shifted this smooth in at least 10 years.
I wonder how long before it gets packed again with crud. It's possible it happens quickly from all the shit floating around the system even though I changed the fluid. We'll see.
My 1995 Accord has 180k on it and drives fine, but from neutral to drive 4 it has delayed engagement. Instead of one engagement it seems like two. Like bump and as second later another bump. Same with drive 3. Low and drive 2 engage normally. I removed the first solenoid and the screens were very clean, however, the rubber gasket has a notch in it. Not a complete split but a small notch. Both solenoids were cleaned and were noticeably louder when I reinstalled them. Still, the problem persists.Any ideas?
Im not a honda tech... Just a guy with a fone camera.. Off hand 1 System controls the shift & other controls the lockup. I did both..... the pair under the battery is a PIA but ? Any of the 10s of thousands of viewers got an idea? Let us know whats the outcome is SC...
Had my transmission rebuilt and shifting issues would still occur, then i bout a new transmission and had a transmission mechanic put it in and replace the clutch and plug parts and it runs better than before but still wont shift from 1 to 2 easy and the rpms crank before it goes into gear hard, or i let off the gas and itll slide into gear and the rest of the gears seem to shift alright. Will this solve my problem??
Its worth a try. If a so called Pro worked on it I would hope they checked this, but who knows. Good luck & tks for the interesting comment. Pls consider subbing, I could use more Good comments!
Dude you need to reset your transmissions computer back to factory. It's super easy. I have 2001 Accord 4 cyl 198,000 plus miles. Going into 2nd was a pain in the ass especially around turns. Every other gear was perfect. Resetting requires no tools and you dont even need to pop open the hood. My 2nd gear issue is resolved. Idk how to post a link but on RUclips type in "how to rest Acura honda ECU transmission". The channel is MODS FOREVER. I can almost guarantee that this will solve the problem. Be sure to drive about 50 miles after the reset is done and drive how you would normally drive. The computer will adjust the trans accordingly. My car shifts like new. Hoping for another 100k. Good luck man

Think this would help lack of engadging clitch from lack of hydrolic pressure when shifting gears when down shifting than hitting into new gear(2nd) under 20 mph she still drives but hits in second gear usually

Well I have a 2002 Honda Accord 2.3L. I cleaned the lock up and A/B solenoids and did a transmission drain and fill. Transmission fluid was very black. Let just say that when I drained the transmission, I drained the 1 and 2 clutch. Beware if your fluid is very black, Car only had 128,000 miles on it when I got it. I had to get a transmission swap done and it still has some jerking issues and I installed a in line transmission filter, the same one that is used on the 2.4L element and accords.
( I did find out that the torque converter on these transmissions are the culprit for the screens to get clogged up. Torque converter slips causing clutch material to go through the system ruining the whole transmission)
great comment sir! Pls subscribe if you didnt & I will Star your tips!!
gonna try this tomorrow, i just picked up an accord v6 and it is slipping and has no od whatsoever. hope this helps a little at least

Would you recommend doing this just to service a high mileage vehicle with no issues?
For me I would not tamper with one that isnt broke, but keep this in mind if things start acting up, instead of some butcher going apeshit & running up a bill + making a mess. Best of luck & great question
The only way to avoid issues is to regularly change out the atf fluid. The older the fluid the more gunk that will accumulate in the solenoid screens.
I have a P1738 problem popping up on my 02 accord. Rpms go sky high before switching gears. We changed out the second gear pressure switch but the problem is still there. I'll have to try this

Friends 03 Accord EXV6 Coupe having similar issue. Transmission won’t shift into gear when its cold. Symptoms is when it is cold. And come to complete stop then try go car won’t move. Unless you shift to Neutral then drive. And acts like nothing happened. Short fix is to let it warm up. Have to look at those screens again since i replaced the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches and ATF filter.

If a local mechanic charges $100/hr on labour, how long and how much would doing all the steps listed cost? Approximately, of course. I will be buying the replacement parts myself to hopefully shed some cost.
IM not a pro but took a few hrs. If you dont trust the guy find someone else. Pls let us know how it goes MQ
Great video, thanks for keeping it short and sweet- 'there some stuff in the way, with patience it will come off' 👍
Unfortunately not my fix.
Let us know how it goes and pls consider subbing to my channel. I really helps me actually someday make $$$ off this.
I have PO700 Issue any thoughts
Sorry I was on vacation. Still need help?
How old your car?
@@gfriedman99 this one 2003
i like this vid. totally different and unique vid compared to other other youtubers. no talking, yapping, bobbling of mouth. just straight to the point illustration. and the music encompass the the vid very well. btw what were the symptoms of your car? hard shift? not shifting into gears? slipping?
Tks for the kind words,my friend. You made my day. The best description of my symptoms can be seen in the description copy above. Pls consider subscribing for more Honda repair videos !
Dude your totally getting a sub off this video. Hell yeah brother thanks for the help.
Tks for writing & subscribin dude! You are THE MAN!
Tried this but only 1 screen came out, other 2 screens stays in transmission. Couldnt figure out a safe way to get the screens out and put it back together.
Came off ez for me like in the video.
Thinks are bound to get sticky after 20 yrs. Tks for writin!
Good to hear old artist!
Mine didn't have the three small round screens in it! Is it supposed to? Thanks it's a 2000 accord
oh yea... better find some screws to put it back. Somebody did a sloppy job. Good luck. Pls subscribe for more !
Hopefully you see my comment, I have an 03 v6 accord and it's stuck in second gear with codes p0974 and p0980. I've changed all of the solenoids already and it hasn't fixed it. I'd really appreciate any insight.
Im no trans expert but-maybe some viewers are. Did you drain the fluid & stuff like that?
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 yeah I've changed the trans fluid and checked to make sure no wires were broken is the nearby area. Codes won't clear with a scanner either, they just pop right back up
Work AWESOME on my Accord 2000, first one clog, the one under the battery was very clean, now it's running very smooth, THANK YOU so so much :)
Glad it helped! Pls consider subscribing for more DIY videos!

Glad it helped! ANd tks for subscribing Omar!
Cool music , nice Video on Solenoid cleaning .
Thank for the positive review, sir!
I have an accord 2002. When I switch from Reverse to D the car does like 2 jumps/bucks? What could it be ? Great Video
Thats a new one on me. Someone else have an answer.? Tks for writing CH & best of luck!
My transmission drives fine all the to 3rd my last 4th gear slips into neutral & so does my reverse , now my d3 is started to slip but my 1-2 gears work fine
Also the fluid is a nice clear red nothings in the fluid it’s not dark & it doesn’t have metal shavings but the fluid was overfilled & now that I checc there’s barley any fluid left but it’s clear red
I believe each of those little screens controls a different shift. So 1 or 2 may be clogged. As to where the fluid is going, maybe out the vent/overflow hole. Hope not a blown seal. Best of luck & let us know how it works out buddy.
quick question, now does it shift better after the service or you still getting the clunk?
problem solved
Still OK, slight clunk with a heavy foot. but I am babying the car now.
my clunk moved from 1st to 2nd.. 1st is baby smooth now
Problem solved. If you still have clunks check your motor mounts too. Especially the one in front usually cracks first
Thanks so much I will try this on my sister's Accord! Great video!
Glad it was helpful! More videos always coming. Please consider subscribing.
Does a 1998 4cyl Accord auto have these same solenoids? Mine is starting to hop when it tries shifting into the next gear. If I take my foot off the accelerator for a second and press again it seems to be ok. But it seems like it’s happening more often.
I say its the same
I believe so, just take a quick look. Consider subbing for more vids, & tks for writin
LOVED THE TUNES!!!!! THANK YOU...never knew about this other threefer solenoid! Crossing my fingers!
Good luck! Let us know how it goes. & pls write more & consider subbing!
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 I did sub. no sure why it isnt showing on your end. Anyways, yesterday, after doing that hidden solenoid, I drove her, 99 accord 4cyl, and she rammmed hard into first gear and would not come out of first. automatic shifter was loosy goosy, not engaging the trans even with engine off...had to press the release button to move the shifter but nothing...stays in first. Fortunately, was not far from house, had to tow strap her home. She did pull easily.
Question~1) How do I get her out of first (shows in 1st on instrument panel) ??
2) When putting that hidden solenoid back on, those three little tubes...surrounded by the little round gaskets, I may have revearsed the tube, screen side toward solenoid. (correct?) Cant really afford even a rebuilt trans just yet, so I need to get her out of first, which keeps the car from even starting. I will check that adjustable shifter lever underneath to make sure it didnt pop off.
Trans has been hard shifting, not shifting, slipping, but once I got her to higher speed, (over 50) I could ride around but it seemed like I was only in third. (rpm was kissing 3ooo)
Care to email me?
@@rinserepeat2877 if something is backwards that could do it. Sadly that car is not mine anymore, or i would take a pic of the area. Maybe look for shop manual online? Thats how i did mine back then. My email should be on the home page...
@@oldartisttricks2692 thank you for the reply. I bot another accord, 03, 4cyl...I will now be able to diagnose and work on this 99 to get her out of first and hopefully to start. Trans may be shot, but will see.
I have a 2001 Honda Accord LX automatic transmission with 207,000 miles. My car only moves in reverse not forward.The problems started a couple of months before this happened 1. when starting car and putting in reverse heard a loud sound 2.Loud exhaust noise 3.Car jerking forward at stop sign 4. When putting car in reverse then drive heard loud kick.5. when going down the street at 5 mph the tachometer went 3000 rpm-4000 rpm-4500 rpm. 6. when going somewhere car would take time to reach 40 mph even with accelerator pressed fully. One day when driving home the car just stalled and after five minutes of waiting and restarting the car was able to make it home at normal speed and parked it in the garage. After starting it again it would only move in reverse not forward. I suspect that it could be a transmission solenoid as some research I did says it could be a transmission solenoid. But when I called a transmission shop they told me that the problem is internal and doesnt have to do with the solenoid. Would like to get another opinion on this issue
Solinoids only control shifting i believe. Your problem sounds more complex. But maybe solinoids are worth a try. Only costs a littls time. Good luck & let us know how it works out
I had a similar issue with 2002 accord put it tin the shop to find out it was the torque converter
I have a 2009 accord that won’t go out of first gear. Has a shift solenoid A fault. Should i replace the solenoid or clean gunk?
Dont have experience with that year, but if it has solenoids in same area i would give it a try. Let us know how it works out.
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 Yeah it turned out good. Had the car sitting for 6 months after i had fixed a misfire when this problem showed up. Changed solenoid A and it’s running great.
@@100ify1 So good to hear...Glad to keep you outta the hands of shady mechanics!
doing this right now. reply in a month ill let you know how it went for my p0740 on a 99 accord
ANy questions let me know & i will reply asap.
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 i did it and it shifts much smoother now. there was some siliconr and part of the gasket blocking one. i dont know if the codes went away yet because i unhooked the battery. one tip i will give is there is a bolt underneath the battery tray. you can see it thriugh the big hole to the left.
do you recommend a trans replace ?
Great Question! The black goop in the filter must be because things are wearing away. But with careful driving it may last a while...
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 know anything about replacing with a jdm transmission. What you recommend? Thanks
@@carlexus3133 Never got a trans from them. I would ask around. Some of these rebuilt things can be a nightmare. Good luck!

Would this help 420 code catalytic converter prob not
Interesting comment but dont know about that particular code. Best of luck!
Many people fixed this with catalytic cleaner. Like cataclean. If that doesn't work pour 1 gallon lacquer thinner to 10 gallons of gas. Drive to empty. Put in fresh gas and clear code and hope it does not come back. That's what I did on my 1999 accord.
@@martinjay9959 well done MJ! Tks for writing!
No has nothing to do with the cat
Mine drives Normal for 20mins or so then starts slipping and down shifting will this fix my issue?
Try a 3x fluid change first
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 what would x3 fluid change do? I done one change two days ago appeared to be normal. Again untill i came to a traffic jam 🤦♂️ started slipping had to pull over for 5mins
I do the drain & fill 3 times to get as much old fluid out as possible. Seems like its overheating?.? Fluid is not burnt looking or smelling? The screen cleaning cant hurt & may help. It dont cost anthing but time. Hope it well help.
Thanks a lot for this video. I should try this today.
Two days ago, noticed my 2003 Accord, 2.4L started mild jerking when accelerating uphill and needing to downshift. Immediately after managing to climb the hill, transmission slips into neutral intermittently, causing the car to stall. If I approached a full stop at this time, car would refuse to move when I accelerate (regardless of terrain- level ground or slope). I would have to switch off the engine, wait several minutes, restart and when I shift to 'D', car would move normally (but transmission makes some 'slapping' sound when I shift back to Park at this time. Same sound absent next morning when cold).
Just a month ago, I did a routine transmission drain and refill (×3) BUT did not check the solenoid filters. I was suspecting a failing downshift solenoid. Could clogged filters be the problem here?
PS: Never compromised on my transmission service schedule. Transmission fluid clear as day and level okay. Car has run great as a daily driver for 9 years. Never a transmission or engine problem till date. No check engine light thorough all these. Scanned, no codes!!!
Sounds familiar. We kept fluid clean too but gunk happens...Best of luck!
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 Thanks so much for the love.
Didn't work for me, so I had to order a matching, pulled transmission. On the 'new' transmission, a pressure switch attached to the rear plate was found missing due to a broken flange. There is also seepage of transmission fluid from the crack line.
I think one can easily substitute the broken rear plate for the one on my original transmission. Do you think it's a good idea or I should just be patient some more days and send back to seller for a replacement?
Wish I could send you pics to see.
Regards!
@@olusegunadediran2655 Wish I could help but I never had to replace the trans ....yet! Maybe someone else will reply. I get alot of viewers on this one. Regards!
@@oldartisttricks2692 I looked up the serial number on the 'new' transmission and discovered that it was an MCTA pulled from an Acura TSX but matches my original BCLA. So, I went ahead to substitute the rear plates and successfully mated it to the K24A engine. Transmission shifting seamlessly so far and no trouble codes. The only snag is that the stick wouldn't shift completely into gear 1 (the lowest on the rung). It kind of hangs between gear 2 and 1, purely due to no further space for the stick to move backwards.
I have tried adjusting the transmission range sensor to no effect. I suspect the shift cable might need a bit of adjustment, no??
For the sake of learning, would like to ask anyone with experience working on Honda transmissions if there are any drawbacks in replacing a BCLA with an MCTA type. Kindly weigh in with your ideas. Thanks 😊
Could changing just the easy access one help or do i need to do both
It might be all you need. Taking the battery out is a big pain. I think someone else did that & it was all they needed. Check comments if you like
Just the easy one did it for me.

Hey mate, is the 02 Accord v6 the same?
Great question! Never saw to compare but shop manual chapter on auto trans does not have any 4 & v6 difference. Anybody else know?
I thought this was Chris Fix for a minute. Lol!
@@gfriedman99 I'll take that compliment! BTW I met Chris Fix once on a group fishing trip. A Great Guy. He gave everybody a Chris Fix Promo Gadget
What was the shifting problem?
late shift or no shift. Tks for writin
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 yup that’s what I got plus the D4 flashes
@@gfriedman99 Please check the description for details on the symptoms
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 ok just saw paul thorpes answer in the description. That’s exactly it. Taking off from a stop it starts out in second or third gear so the engine revs high with little acceleration. I get around it by manually shifting into first gear at a stop light so the cars behind me don’t get road rage. Lol.
Anybody now P0756(1/4) stored
Shift Solenoid B
Performance or Stuck Off
Internet sez.....This code triggers when the PCM detects the “B” shift solenoid circuit has a malfunction. Check wiring & solenoid function. But the code can also be triggered by Low or dirty transmission fluid. Clogged transmission fluid filter. Or the screens shown in this video. Best of luck, & let us know what happens. Pls subscribe for updates on your question.
Very impressive, I never lift the hood in case there is a problem, lol, Garry
WithFor every successful repair comes an epic fail or 2....Thanks for watching!
Did this happen at all times or just when the car warmed up?
good question AC. We did it on the car after it was run & cooled off enough to work on. Thought that might help to keep seals & stuff in 1 piece.
I mean, did the transmission only slip when the car warmed up. My transmission works fine when the car is cold, but as soon as it hits operating temperature the transmission slips until it cools down again.
@@DIABOLICOHAVOC its not my car but i will ask the owner asap & get back to you
THis car had slipping all the time, even pulling out of driveway
when my car warmed up-before cleaning the filters- tranny worked good
There are two more just below the first one. These are individual shift solenoids and they are hold by a single bolt. you can try to clean them as well. There is another video that shows just that.
Cool. Send a link to that video for us U..
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 here is a video where they clean with brake cleaner (i personally do not like the idea of using brake or carb cleaner.) ruclips.net/video/jhEORmzOEd4/видео.html
In another video, somebody uses an ultrasonic cleaner to break contamination lose in an injector. I do not see why same can be used for solenoids.

@@uccoskunthanks
Thanks for the excellent video and music to boot! I'm off to complete the same process today on my son's 2002 accord. After a couple of fluid drain and fill exercises, it shift better but not right. I have a feeling this will do the trick since the fluid we drained looked horrible after 180,000 miles and no service. Thanks again!
Yes we did the drain * fill too. Tks for writin & best of luck with the car. The one we did had about 225k miles.
@@bootlegcustomshop4129 Ended up finding a great deal of debris plugging up all the screens of both valve body ports. After carefully removing and reinstalling without damaging the gaskets it shifts perfectly. The solenoids were fine as is the mechanical components of the transmission. Thanks again!
