D4 is blinking, but it's not typical of a blown tranny.

its your car telling u in morse code... SWAP ME... SWAP ME... SWAP ME...

on the real tho, are your motor mounts good?


i blew out my motor mounts once and from the tranny/engine lifting, i cracked the soleniod ontop of the tranny (under the batterytray) it cracked from hittin the tray and gave me that problem (not saying this is ur solution but something to look into)

ps: everytime my tranny blew (3xs) i never got a blinking d4 light, it would slip a few times, throw the CEL's and then quit on me.

the D4 light most of the time points to a solenoid

Yeah the motor mounts are fine, I checked those during the install. The solenoids looks fine also, no cracks or anything. Seems like the tranny only acts up once it gets warm. I just flushed and refilled it but that didn't solve the problem. I can actually drive it up the road a few hundred feet and back before it warms up and starts blinking d4 on me.

Side note; I called Honda and they said since the transmission currently in the car was replaced under a recall there is NO warranty on it because I didn't pay anything out of pocket.

quick update I went through the solenoids again and one of the connectors had a tiny *** piece of grime in it that prevented it from making contact, washed it out with electronics cleaner and the shifting problems and blinking d4 has gone away. The engine is throwing a code 22 now (vtec system malfunction) but it seems to run fine to me. It's also showing the code 7 which is transaxle failure but I don't know if that just needs to be cleared or what.

hey wats up, i have the same problem its ur tranny jus change the fluid and it will be good but when its cold out side warm the car up for like 10 mins before u put it into gear. ive had this problem for like 3 years now its runs ok but the vtech dont work sometimes

I had the problem too. Honda denied me.
Code at autozone said Gearing Ratio.

do a swap! i didnt wait for mine to get that bad, i didnt even have a d4 blinking light. My transaxle was leaking fluid due to so much play inside where it connects to the tranny due to it tearing itself apart. I wouldnt even let honda put a reman. tranny in, i dont want a band-aid over the problem. My car is sitting in the garage waiting for a 5speed swap in jan.

I'm seriously beginning to think you're somehow related to lemon.
