Question:

Honda transmission problem?

Whenever I drive my automatic 1989 Honda Accord LXi sedan I always hear/feel the gears clicking and sometimes the car struggle on hills. Do i have a bad transmission?

Answer:

its possible that your transmission might be going but I would rule out an engine performance issue before you look at the transmission, it may be the engine is not firing on all 4 cylinders therefore is not putting out the power to turn the transmission, so check to see if your engine isn't misfiring, check this by removing each spark plug wire one at a time and listening to the rpms as you pull it off, if you hear the rpms drop then that cylinder is firing as it should, and if you pull one off and the rpms don't drop like the rest of them, it could indicate a problem with that particular cylinder,
