Transmission problem
1994 Honda Passport 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic
I recently had the transmission fluid changed in my Passport. I never had any problem with it since buying it two years ago but knew if was time for a change. It has 180,000 miles on it. I took it to Jiffy Lube and they flushed the transmission but did not drop the pan and replace the filter. This was two weeks ago and ever since I am having problem with the transmission slipping when changing gears. I took it to a mechanic and he smelt the fluid (level was OK) he said it smelt burnt and that I probably needed a new transmission. Also that it would be a waste of money at this point to drop the pan and change the filter. Could this all have occurred since the fluid being changed? I don't pull a trailer but it sounded expensive to fix. Any suggestions?
