I've always wanted to change the VSS and see what happens, but never had the chance to. If you ever change it and it makes a difference, let me know so that i change mine too
Since the car was under a warranty, I paid the $$ to have it done at Aamco. I didn't want to void the warranty by doing the work myself. Any ways, it did nothing. We got the car less than 2 miles away before the 'Check Engine light' came back on. I scanned it and it was the "Input Speed Shaft Sensor Malifuntion." The exact code from before! I took the car back and they told me it is the TCU. I am done with them and these problems. I am just going to find one at the auction and hope that the replacement parts don't have the same problem!

i have had several accords with that code and it was all the same problem they were over filled by an aftermaket shop cause they did not know to check the fluid when the car was shut off not when it is running like american cars if you drain the tranny fron the drain plug on the botton when you fill it up it should only take 2 1/2 -2 3/4 quarts of fluid and clear the code

Easy enough, I will give it a shot as soon as I can.

Thanks

i will check on my car to see if it still has the TCU(i had mine converted to standard). if it does, i'd more than happy to let you have it.

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

That would be great, as I can rule out the TCU.

(However, I will be honest when I say I don't think it will change anything.)
Thanks again....
