    Changing Automatic Tranny fluid, need advice.

    So I completed the transmission fluid change with very little difficulty except for the stuck drain bolt, it took a little encouragement from my trusty 'ol mallet to get it started. Had to use a vise grip to unbolt the drain plug at the end, suprisingly enough the fluid was still red and not...

    Changing Automatic Tranny fluid, need advice.

    Spawne, Thanks again for the advise. I will go ahead as planned with the tranny fluid change this weekend and I will go back to return the honda brand (ATF DW1) fluid I originaly bought. The only decision left is whether to get the Acura ATF Z1 or the Royal purple stuff. Appreciate the help.

    Changing Automatic Tranny fluid, need advice.

    Thanks Spawne. I was going thru the search bar and saw another thread on trans fluid and one forum member stated that for "high mileage" cars should not receive any trans fluid drain and fill. That this would potentially cause damage by loosening up debri like a flush fill and one should only...

    Changing Automatic Tranny fluid, need advice.

    So Bros, I'll be doing my very first trans fluid change on my '93 Integra GS with 245+K miles. The previous owner did the last trans fluid changed at 153+K miles, I've only tacked on a little over 1000 miles on it after getting the car. My question is that today I went to a Honda dealership...

    Engine shakes/rattle

    Sometimes it does seems like it wants to stall when fully stop and in neutral. I'll take it in for a trans service soon, hopefully it'll improve the shaking. Thanks.

    Engine shakes/rattle

    It's an automatic, wish it was a stick. How do I confirm that it's the mounts? Also, trans is acting weird at times. When putting it in reverse it doesn't always engaged immediately unless the car has been running for awhile. I still need to do a trans fluid change, it's been awhile since it was...

    Engine shakes/rattle

    So I have a '93 and upon coming to a full stop (foot on the brake) the car shakes/rattles alot that the steering wheel can be seen shaking. I find that if I switch to neutral the engine shaking stops. What could be causing this? Listed below are things I've had done so far after getting the car...

    2nd Gen General Info

    I hope you guys can clear this up for me, as far as I can tell.... I have a 1993 Integra GS-L (leather), it's an automatic 2-door hatch. I don't see any markings for VTEC on it so is it safe to assume it's a 1.8L engine = 140horsepower?? I called in my VIN# to Acura and the technician could...

    broken spark plug

    I'll look at the engine again to see if it has the 1.7L markings. The previous owner claims its a GSR and looking at all the maintenance records that also states 1.7L GSR. As for the spark plug, I was very lucky in getting the broken piece off without damaging the engine. I did use a...

    broken spark plug

    Recently received a 1993 Integra 2door hatch, 1.7liter engine and I believe it's a GS. Previous owner was meticulous with maintenance as his records shows, until he stopped using the car in 2009. Immediately I did a synthetic oil change, air filter replacement, premium gas only and spark plug...

    2nd Gen Roll Call!

    Just picked a 1993 black 2door hatch, I believe it's a GS. She's got 243,000+ miles when I got her and she needs some work. Taking my sweet time in fixing up my ride. I'm hoping she'll look sweet like some cars here.
