Sometimes when i start the car and put it in drive there is a delay in getting power. Its only for about a second or so but during this time there is no accelaration, and then it will go. It doesnt happen when i reverse only in drive. Also once in a while when the car shifts down, im not sure which gear, something is telling me 3 or second it seems a bit weird sometimes. It doesnt clunk or slip, it almost seems like maybe it shifts down to soon or something. I checked the fluid its fine and still redish.



Its a 2001 honda civic, 1.7 sohc.

IMO you're pretty limited. i would check the A/B solenoids against battery voltage to make sure they work other than that it is internal to the transmission. Got a service manual? I looked at some pages in mine and there were a few troubleshooting items that sounded similar to what you're describing.
