Default 98 Civic Auto Tran. Help!!!

Ok the car 98 civic hatch dx
original auto tranny that comes with the d16y7


The problem is that the auto tran is not going into gear. It will move for a little and then it will start to slipping and not go into gear.

What could it be the torque converter, cable brackets being loose, etc???


Fluid is full and new, clean pinkish color. No it has not been filled or clean recently but it has been fine for a while now. Changed fluid on 7/4/09.

What could this be??? I dont want any smart comments please, like change it to a stick. I dont have the budget to do that right now.

Thanks.

I now live in Newport News, and cant transport the car anywhere. If anyone can swing by and look at it tell me what they think. Maybe tell me if i need a new tranny or not PM me.

Well since it had experienced the initial slip for the first 15 mins, it just doesnt go into gear. It goes into park, and it holds the car still. When i go to drive or anyother motion gear it wont move.

Try putting it into 2nd, if it moves better try replacing the Trans. brain box.

No as soon as i start it cold it works for a lil. Then when warm it will work for a minute if you cut the motor off and then back on. After it starts moving for a minute, it slips out. Not out and back in. Then it is like it is in neutral.
