I'd find someone in your local area which can do a low pressure Transmission Flush.
I'd guess it's been quite some time since the last trans service, and I suspect several of the spool valves have stuck from varnish buildup.
BG manufactures the machine and the chemicals to do the job.
After the flush, ask them to refill the tranny with Honda OEM trans Fluid.

thanks buddy, yea my dad has decided to have it rebuilt. thanks for the help

 

Well, THAT will certainly fix it.

Hopefully they'll find something hideously damaged which will justify the overhaul.

I'm sorry, I come from the school of "Unless certain, try the cheap stuff first" auto repair. I hate spending customer's money as much as I hate spending my own.

well, if the transsmission control unit senses a severe problem, it will put the trans in "limp mode" and will only let the transmission go from 1st to 2nd, and go into reverse, and go into park of course. i would check the codes on the car to see if the it has any trans codes.

 

thanks again.. all great info
