Honda prelude 93 auto transmission: "s" light flashes

I have a 1993 honda prelude, auto trans. for an year or so the "s" light on the dash board. even tho its didnt effect any performance till now, recently i noticed that when i start driving the auto gear shift is happening very roughly. i doesnt shift smoothly. the reflections in the rearview mirror is also shaking very much (i heard someone say that it happens because of the transmission problems)..can someone help?? I am a bit scared on how much its going to cost me

SOURCE: Rearview Mirror Adhesive

The product does work fine, you can try it again. Make absolutely sure that all of the old adhesive has been removed, I use a new, sharp razor to remove the old stuff on both surfaces. Be sure NOT to touch either of the clean areas with your fingers. If you do, take acetone and wipe that part clean. follow the directions and good luck.

SOURCE: can not find the set screw for this inside rearview mirror to rea

There is a little opening at the bottom of the mirror mounting part; gently push a small, flat screwdriver into it and slide the mirror off.

99 Honda Accord and Prelude Transmissions Interchangeability

the trans will actually bolt up to the engine..but it will not work properly without the pressure switch plugged in to the harness... if u notice, there is a hole with no threads in the prelude trans..u couldnt even thread a 3rd gear pressure switch in the trans case..trust me ive seen it b4 at the dealer where i work.. i even went as far as installing the trans and when going back together, saw the difference when trying to plug the harness in...its not the same..i laugh about it now, but was very mad at myself at the time for assumeing the parts guy brought me the right part..the guy with the prelude was about to install my accord  trans in his prelude ...luckily i was able to stop him b4 he installed my trans in his prelude...i laugh about it now
