Hi everyone!
Maybe somebody remember my topic a few months ago about my 86 Accord JDM with automatic transmission problems.
So now I took my car away to a high skilled honda mechanic to fix properly auto tranny issue(I live in Italy, in this country is very very difficult find a good mechanic for old Honda car, this guy is very good).
The problem now is that car is Japanese only and we need a repair manual for the car in order to find the exact Transmission Type equipped in my car. The easy part is refer to US Accord repair manual, I already got that stuff but that cars are equipped with A20A and my is a A18A.
Shortly, in order to find which tranny has my car what should I do? This is situation for Accord:
A20A FI ---->F4 auto transmission
A20A Carb.-----> ?
A16A Carb. ----> C9 auto transmission
I discovered that the Prelude 2nd (1987) was equipped with A18A as well and it has a AS auto transmission......but this car has a dual carburator(my is single carb), so maybe other components could be not the same....so I don't know if it's reliable.
Maybe someone know what type of auto tranny has tha Accord JDM A18A, or in any case which of the tranny F4,C9,AS should I looking for?
In any case a repair manual for my Accord JDM would only in japanese language, is that so?
The very problem is that torque converter OEM Honda code is not the same for AS,F4,C9....so we think these transmissions for something are not the same....but the repair manual for C9-F4-AS are the same thus, in the transaxle section, is not specificated which are the differences beetwen these tranny.
So for example Accord can be A16A or A20A and is specified at very begin that the 2 engine has a different tranny code, but inside transaxle section is not speficated, the repair/data sheet are the same.
