I am driving a 97 prelude, with the Sport Shift automatic transmission.

My symptoms are as follows:

1. When cold and shifting from park to reverse or drive, there is a brief 1.5 second delay before it goes into gear.

2. When it does go into gear, it is quite a rough shift and jerks a little bit.

3. When driving, and the car is not warmed up, the 1-2 shift is rough and slips a little bit.

4. When decelerating, it takes an unusually long amount of time to shift down into first, feels kinda "sticky"


Now, all these problems seemingly disappear when the car is fully warmed up and driven for a mile or so. It shifts fine after that point.

I had the car looked at by aamco, they drove the car and couldn't notice anything wrong with the transmission. They did check the auto fluid however, and said that it was burnt and recommended a complete flush.


So my question to you is; does this sound like my transmission is shot? I am hoping and praying that a 7 quart reverse flush at the honda dealership will alleviate all these problems. Have you owned a car with similar issues? What was the outcome?

So I am having the same symptoms as this guy^^^^ on a auto SS 1998 prelude, my question was i called 3 local honda dealerships about getting a tranny flush. Two of the three said honda does not recommend doing a tranny flush according to the post above he got it done and all is smooth as butter. So does anyone have any input on my question? Thanks in advance for any input!
