Try replacing the fluid, if that fixes it you saved yourself a few hundred dollars. Use the Honda fluid.
If the fluid doesn't fix it then change the transmission. Think about it this way, you change the transmission and the real problem was just fluid, you basically wasted money on the transmission.
