92 LX auto transmission problems
I bought a 91 EX and 92 LX from a local towing yard for $2000 for both.
Not a bad deal I think. The 91 has brake light issues that I am
currently working on with the help from this group and needs a new
passenger side mirror in order to be road legal and pass the state
inspection in VA. The 92 is a different story. The engine runs like a
champ but the transmission is acting kind of crazy. When the car is
cold, the transmission works like it should. Once the car is up to
normal operating temps, it seems to have some problems. When I am
driving, it will drop out of gear. I pull off the side of the road,
turn the car off, wait 5 seconds, turn the car back on and it works
fine for a little while then does the same thing. If I am sitting at a
stop light and go to accelerate, the car drops out of gear and i do the
procedure mentioned above and it works ok for a little while. When I
go to drop into passing gear, it drops out of gear and just revs then I
have to stop and do the above procedure again. Needless to say it
really is a PITA. There is also a high pitch whine coming from the
transmission side of the engine (possible torque converter). Any
suggestions as to what the problem may be?
