i have a 98 accord, its the v6 automatic , im having shifting problems with it when the car reaches its normal operating temperature the car starts to go to neutral then shifts really hard. Im thinking it has to do with the ecu but thats why im posting this up to get some insight.

 

Have you checked the fluid color (should be bright red) or changed fluid

 

yeah, the car was taken to the stealership and they changed it , i also changed all the shifting selenoids on the tranny already.

 

6th v6 trannies are crap.

as for the har shifting my car does that too but not always

 

how many miles? see about getting the recall done on the trans if its under 100k

 

yeah i just searched and read about the recall it has 99thousand exactly but apparently its only the accords from 2000-2001...if im not mistaken.

yup the extended warrenty only covered 2000-2002 accords

 

I would still bring it in to see if it was covered by the extended warranties...but it really depends on your car...if you manually shift an automatic car...its not good for the tranny...I honestly don't know why people drive automatics like manuals..but give the dealer a call or bring it in...its worth a try!

 

i dont think he drives the car like a manual, the trannies on the 6th gens are notchy

 

hehehe yeah really dont shift like a manual but, yeah im taking it in to make sure its covered. crossing my fingers it is.

 

just complain a ton, make it a huge hassle, call honda of america over and over, just be annoying as hell.

 

replace your transmission. DO NOT REBUILD IT. call HONDA of AMERICA and SEE if they WILL OFFER some assistance after you get it diagnosed at a HONDA DEALER.
