2002 Accord - jerking

Hi,

My friend has a 2002 Accord Auto 4 cyl. Lately, he has been noticing that the car has been jerking when he has been driving. He took it to a garage and they did diagnostics on the car. They told him that in 2nd and 3rd gear, the vehicle is slipping. Also, harsh shift in 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm pretty sure it has to be the transmission. If someone could explain the mechanics as to what is happening internally, that would be very helpful.
