and thick like oil. i? my 99 honda civic's transmission is slipping. i changed the trans fluid and it was dark and thick like oil. i put auto zone trans fluid in it and then the honda dealer told me to drain it right away and add honda trans fluid like 3 times. so i did. i started the car and drove, with no pick up. then drove normal. it felt like it was slipping. but the speedometer said 0 and my car was probabaly going 40 mph. also, the car wont hold a charge. i charged it and it ran for about 5 mins. and the lights dimmed and the motor started struggling and then stopped. it has been sitting for about 2 months because it was in a minor accident and repairs have been made slowly, such as new radiator and hood and fan...please help.
