i just bought this car for 700$. the guy that I bought it from said that the trans was acting goofy and he was right about that.. It will sometimes do something stupid when you put it in gear to go it will go just fine and then sometimes like if you go to put it in drive after you have backed up or if you go to put it in drive and move it then go to back up it wont move. but then you can turn it off and wait a few seconds and then start it back up and put it in gear it will start driving again. I dont mess with automatics in a honda at all but i would like to figure out what is wrong with this one. But they way its looking i am just going to convert it to five speed and say the heck with the automatic. I just didnt know if the computer has something to do with it or if was a sensor or something on the trans. Well if anyone has any opinions or ideas of what it could be i would appriecate it very so much. Thanks in advance to the honda-tech guys......

sounds like you and me have the same problem! It's some major bs, considering I'm still paying for my car and I just had a baby. I'm probably going to do the same thing you are and swap it to a standard transmission. I'm going to be using a 93 del sol si transmission in mine cause I like the gearing in them

A lot of honda automatic transmissions come back to life after a fluid change using Honda fluids. High mileage vehicles with neglected maintenance can come back after several changes. Just do drain and refills don't try to flush them.

And also adjust the throttle cable to spec:

I'm having the same issue... Driving and shifting fine.. then boom I'm driving along and nothing.. no power to the transmission.. i can shut it off and restart it and she gets going for a mile or two.. idk what's wrong with her.. a transmission swap def sounds good.. but if i can fix her it'd save me tons
