CD5 transmission

[DeejCD5]

hey,
ive got an accord vti-s done about 200.00 k's. Not sure if this is usual or not but when shifting (espiecally 1st to 2nd) gear box seems to slip a bit even at low rpm's. Is this normal in this car?
Also when i got it serviced a couple of months ago my mechanic was puzzled to find tiny metal filings in the transmission. Anybody got any ideas?

that auto...? soundz rooted lol or on its way out soon it wont even go back to 1st
only time it will is flooring it out of roundabouts...

[DeejCD5]

haha serious? cause i test drove a few before buying and they all seemed to hav the same issue. its like a slight shudder everytime it shifts. An RACV check noted it as a 'harsh' upshifting

tranny fluid? might be worth flushing it again.

[DeejCD5]

mmm dont think that'd be it, i did it bout 3,000 k ago. Must just be on the way out... reckon it'd be worth doing a manuel conversion? what price would i be lookng at?

[Riviera]

yea but you mentioned slipping not shudder most or thump


my CD5 thumps sumtimes depends what revs its shifting at, and usually its when
its holding a certain amount of revs for a second before shifting

the tranny mount gets worn out, must be cause of the huge ratio 2nd gear has

it can shift from 1st into second at 20km/h then u can use 2nd all the way to
100km/h and because of the huge drop in revs from first to second the mount
gets a hiding

yeh fair enough. Im just asking cause im thinking bout putting a bit of money into the car but dont really want to if im going to hav to spend 3 k replacing the tranny in like 6 months.

[Riviera]

possibility of a manual conversion???
Engine Conversion + Manual Conversion???


whats your plans?

metal filing mean's tranny parts worn.

if its flaring during gear changes there is a good change the cluth packs are worn or the throttle cable ( tranny ) isnt adjusted right.

i would try it with the aircon off, my accord (manual f22b) does not like coming from 1st to second with aircon on...
