I plugged in my OBD II reader it throws this code at me with the description of "incorrect gear ratios." My car is a 1998 accord lx, auto. D4 and D3 work only about 15% of the time and all other times lags for about 5 seconds on engagement or doesnt even engae fully causing the car to rev freely as if in neutral. 2nd and 1st gear seem unaffected and I would just like to know what they maine culprit of this would be? Is it electrical like a solonoid somewhere? or does the tranny need to be dropped and possibly replaced? Any input would be appreciated.

 

Don't shoot the messenger, but.......
The Trans was junk the day it rolled off the assembly line.

 

You will be needing a reman transmission.
