Leaking. BIG leak

My Econoline 250 with 4.2 lost fluid from hose leak, fixed leak everything was normal for 3 days till I drove it on highway. When it went into overdrive lost forward power. Turned off OD and did ok for a while. Lost forward gears slowly, put in fluid, hard to tell when full. Reverse is fine but have to rev up engine to get forward to engage, then everything is fine at lights and such till take out of drive, then have to rev engine to about 2500rpm to engage drive. Help?

1. Check if air blows with the fan setting turned to high.
2. Check that the radiator cooling fan engages when the A/C button is pressed.
3. Locate the compressor.
4. Turn on the A/C.
5. Check if the compressor's clutch has been engaged.
6. If the clutch engages, the fault is elsewhere.
7. If the clutch does not engage, check for power to the clutch.

These steps might help find the problem.

the most common problem with honda and acura is the magnetic clutch failure on the compressor , test to see if you are getting power to the clutch assembly with the car runningand the A/C on max if you have power the compressure clutch is bad if you don't ck the compressure fuse and or the clutch relay.

need more info on what you have tried already

Does the compressor clutch turn on?

you may have a high pressure problem or a high pressure switch defective also make sure you have good air flow clean condeser

The clutch will not engage if it is low on freon. It has a high pressure switch and a low pressure switch which keeps the power from the compressor so no damage will happen. Have the freon checked.

BBB Industries should have the TSBs and wiring diagrams for this as well .
