1989 Acura Integra GS review from North America
"Great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Main relay replaced when I purchased the car - vehicle would intermittently not start.
ABS module made lots of noise - Unhooked ABS relay, so I drive without ABS (132,000 miles)
When cold, the transmission will not shift into 3rd gear.
Transmission does not recognize park right away.
General comments?
Very nice car for $600. It is my pizza delivery car, gets great gas mileage and it does what I tell it to (good acceleration, responsive steering). I wish I could find out what the actual fix is to this transmission problem. I have read many articles and forums about people having the problem, but nobody has fixed it.
