Hello.
Hoping some of you will have some insights and knowledge to point me in good direction.
Our Insight, a 2001 automatic, approximately 60,000 mileage, has been sitting since covid19, then before that limited driving since summer, as we continue dealing with my husbands serious medical issues.
Just put in new ordinary car battery, thus it starts up just fine now.
I saw no warning lights come on.
It is parked in a parking space, where it can only back out, no going forward.
When it’s put in reverse, it seems to want to go, but does Not move. Sounds good to me.
Had a neighbor check the transmission fluid level, which he said it looked low. after reading some posts here, I then asked where the fluid was and he said he didn’t see the two marks on the dipstick. I will go out tonight to check
this again for hopefully better clarification.
I did stop by a Honda dealership and picked up CVT transmission fluid. Due to where the car is currently, would be able to add some. But probably be tough to do a drain. Parts guy was not helpful at all.
Would anyone have any thoughts on what this problem might be?
Any helpful suggestions or experiences that may shed some light on what I should do?
If I add some transmission fluid, how much should I put in?
or is this not what you are thinking the problem is?
Any past posts, you think might be helpful that, I may have missed?
Thank you and I’m looking forward to reading your posts.
