How do you fix the problem if the transmission slips in a 1989 Honda accord?

If automatic, change fluid and filter. If manual, need clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. If none of these work then, you are in for a real treat moneywise.

What is wrong when the gears start slipping when you push down to far on the gas pedal?
Depends on the type of transmission you have. If it's an automatic, check the transmission fluid with the vehicle running to make sure it isn't low. If it's not and the transmission slips you've probably got an internal problem inside the transmission. If it's a manual transmission it could be the hydraulic fluid is low if you have a hydraulic clutch, or it could be the clutch itself. If you've got an older clutch that's not hydraulic, it could be out of adjustment, or the clutch itself is bad.
97 dodge neon manual transmission works but slips out of gear back to neutral when in 3rd or 5th gear Is this a shift cable problem or just the bushing around it Or what else could cause this?
Hope I'm not too late. I found a shift cable bushing for my neon on Ebay. Highly recommend this - costs $20 !!!
On my '05 Dodge Grand Caravan when i push the gas from a stop position it feels like the first gear slips is my transmission about to fail?
Check fluid level Replace fluid and filter if it hasn't been done recently - may save a transmission rebuild
How do you change the fan belt on a 1992 Honda Accord and is it something that needs to be done by a professional?
No, it's not hard. There's a spring-loaded tensioner pully on the top of the engine. To make the job easier, get the largest socket wrench you can find or get some help. If your hand or the wrench slips, it shouldn't do any damage but it will scare you. Pull back on the tensioner with the socket wrench, the belt will loosen. Route the new belt exactly like the old one and ease the tensioner back down.
What happens to the radiator when the serpentine belt slips.?
Nothing should happen at all if it just slips. If it comes off it could possibly bend some of the fins but it is unlikely since there is a fan and shroud in the way.

Why on a 1988 Accord does your clutch slips a little when you give it the gas is it something you can adjust and how?
Usually, a manual transmission clutch slipping is caused either by oil on the clutch from a leaking rear main engine seal, or it's from a worn clutch. Honda clutches are operated with a hydraulic master/slave arrangement and as such are self-adjusting. Whether it's worn clutch or leaking rear main seal, you'll need to remove/replace the engine or transmission to get to the problem.

Is it necessary to use Honda transmission fluid in a 1993 Accord?
Nah, just use whatever fits the spec. I used Motorcraft (Ford brand) Dextron III in my 1991 Accord. No problems whatsoever. Feels maybe like it slips a bit more, not quite as hard of a shift. I did read that Honda fluid is a slightly thinner fluid, so with the Dextron III you might get slightly harder shifts on a cold morning. Just make sure you don't cheap out and get crap fluid, pay the extra $2 and get stuff worth your while. The above answers are poor advice. Use only Honda ATF Z1 or Honda DW-1 ATF. Notice they both said it did not shift perfectly. That is exactly the problem with using anything but Honda fluid. Honda even states in their owners manuals that you can use Dexron III in an emergency but flush it out as soon as possible. A new transmission will cost you around $3,500. Do you really want to take a chance using a fluid when Honda specifically states that you should only use genuine Honda fluid? There is really no debate about this. Use any other fluid at your own risk.
Transmission slips while turning?
You could be low on transmission fluid. The same thing happened to me.
Why does the at transmission on a 1995 Honda Del Sol slip out of gear when im driving but when you shut the car off and re start it it grabs and works and then slips again?
You might need to get your clutch replaced. Or your transmission is about to fail. Go to an auto mechanic for diagnosis and repairs.
HELP..I have an automatic '99 accord-right before the 1st gear is about to change to 2nd-sometimes to 3rd-the rpm rises or slips about 1000x rpm-but don't accelerate for a second-then jerks into gear?
You either need a new transmission or get it rebuild..
