my 1990 lx accord temparture needle rose to the max I took to mechanic he said low anti freeze and i had a leak in the hose under neath caused by the mounting brackets loose pinching radiator hose. he changed it and also added 2 quarts of transmission fluid the car drove fine for 3 days then when I started it up it made this continues clicking sound and when i step on the gas peddle the car feels like the e-brake is on dragging not getting up to speed stalling on speed and the S green light came on and stays on steady it never did this before he changed the under radiator hose and added transmission fluid to it. Did they do something wrong? the care has close to 200k but starts up smooth. Or does this sound like a normal problem for a car this old. i also get an oil change every 3k miles

The S indicator showing indicates a problem had been detected by the Transmission Control Module.

Flip up the passenger carpet. turn ignition switch on. Note the blinking pattern of the LED in the view hole for the TCM to get the trouble code.

During replacement of the radiator hose, the shift solenoid wires could have been disconnected and not correctly reinstalled. Check shift solenoids wire couplers for damage and looseness.
