If it's an automatic (the transmission shifts for you and there isn't a clutch pedal) get ready to find someone who can replace the transmission with a rebuilt unit. Or you can get another '90 Accord for the same price. bob

using my psychic powers, i can see that it's a stick and he's got a leak in the clutch fluid... shame it's not wednesday.

I'm going with automatic,as a close read of the message reveals that"it wanted to shift......". I may be wrong. It has happened before, many years ago. bob

Is your transmission named Melba? Cuz it's toast.
