Re: [DML] Very weird problem

Chris-

I own 3 Hondas, and my 1991 Honda has had this problem NUMEROUS times.
Plan on sinking some money, as it sounds like the tranny may have to be
rebuilt. Checking a tranny 's fluid level is crucial to auto trans.
survival. I now know this due to 7 rebuilds on my 91, and no, i'm not
kidding. Fluid tends to leak in weird ways in it. You can check it in the
morning, and by mid day, it was like, empty. Take your Delorean to a
certified DELOREAN mechanic, because nobody should touch it without factory
certification. The bonehead who did my honda wasn't very "certified" or
professional. Much luck to you!
