I have a 1986 honda prelude 2 door 2.0 motor and automatic. my starter just went and i need to take the old one off to put the new one on but i took off 2 bolts am i missing a bolt that it still wont come off?

Your starter motor is either not getting power or in need of replacement. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with your car.

Also check your battery connections for no corrosion there as well as by the starter motor. Low voltage circuits in a car are extremely vulnerable to poor contact issues.

When you turn your key off, does your engine cut off with the key or does it take your engine a second or two longer to cut off?

There is a dipstick in the transmission down by the radiator. It is yellow in color. You add the fluid thru the dipstick hole. Check the fluid with the engine off.

sounds like you will need to replace the starter.

Is the cap and rotor in good shape? Doesn't sound like a vacuum leak. It's possible there is a problem with your distributor but not sure what. Is the timing belt in good shape?

you should have 2 bolts in the side of the trans the top one is the fill hole the bottom one is the drain hole .

Check your fuses first....let us know what you find...even reseat them, i.e, pull one out at a time and reinsert it.

DOES THE CAR SOUND LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OVER AT ALL?

Why are you having to jump it? Bad battery...too weak....weak battery not supplying enough juice to the starter to turn the motor over....

Best way is to call a salvage yard and ask how new a motor you can use. Just tell them your looking for one.
