Question:

Acura Legend Transmission?

I have a 94 Acura Legend. The transmissions slipping gears (worst is 1st to 2nd). Is there something that I can do to help it? I found out that my transmission fluid is down to about 1/2. Can that be my problem? Is there something I can do to not have to buy a new one? PLEASE HELP! Can someone tell me further about what I can do to at least help it? Iv been going real easy on it. THX!

If the impossible could be possible then, nothing would be impossible.
Add Transmission fluid and see if that helps. Slipping is usually caused by the bands being to loose. These can be adjusted by a transmission specialist.
I also own a 94 Acura Legend. Unfortunately our Legends were built with a weak transmission. They are notorious for transmission failure. Here is what you need to do to prevent an expensive rebuild if it's not too late. Buy some cheap transmission fluid to put into your transmission. You'll need about 8 quarts(or just make sure there is enough. Make sure fluid is between the indicator marker on you dipstick while the engine is warm) . This is just to see if your transmission still works. It should shift better if your lucky. If not, then its time to get your transmission rebuilt. If you notice a dramatically smother increase in shifting, then you are lucky. Then you can do a real transmission flush with high quality OEM Acura transmission fluid. You need to get 10 quarts of OEM Acura Transmission fluid from the dealer. (10qts 8$) Do a complete flush by finding the transmission cooler line, removing it, turning your key to on, remove one quart from the cooler line, add one quart from the top, and repeat. GOOD LUCK!!!!!! I love my Legend, please let me know if you have any more questions.
