Do I have to get a new transmission or something like that?
I have a 1991 Honda Accord lx 4dr automatic. The "S" light came on a couple of weeks ago and when I drove it, it would shift up slowly. When I turned it off and then back on, the car was fine. Now the light stays on and the car does not shift up at all from 2nd gear. and about 3 days ago, the car would not let me get out of P into R or D. So I had to put the key in the "shift lock" to get it out of park. I had a mechanic look at the car and he told me that I needed to get the transmission fluid changed and that would take care of the problem. I also had a friend of mine look at it, and he said the same thing. I cant helo but to think that I will have to get a new transmission. Will I have to get a new tranny if it is not the fluid???

The S light means the transmission computer detected a problem. You need to find the code it set to properly troubleshoot.
You have a blue two pin connector below your glovebox that is plugged into a dummy connector. You short that with a thin paperclip. Count the S flashes. Short Flash =1, Long Flash =10
ie, L S S S = 13
Post the code on here.
You can download a 91 shop manual from Online Manuals thread in the DIY Section. That will help you out a lot.

so i went to a transmission shop to get the fluid changed and while i was driving to the place, the car acted like it was in neutral even though i was in D4 and i couldnt accelerate. When I got there, they checked it out and told me that there is something wrong inside the transmission. My uncle doesnt believe that, so tomorow a friend of his is going to check the car out. Hopefully its nothing inside it, and the shop people were lying.

Code can be obtained by 1) turning keyswitch to ON and 2) pulling back carpet on passenger side foot area. The ECU and TCU are in a module bolted to foot area of body. There is a clear window just to right of center on upper side of ECU/TCU module. It will blink the codes (red led blinking). Read the flashes as described by PAHonda.
good luck
