Its on the shifter. When the car is in D3 or D4, after the shift, the RPM dont drop down as low so remain in the powerband longer.

Accord Maniac, the 90 and 91 Accord autos had them but in 92 they did away with the idea. They realized people with automatics WANTED to go slow. Just kidding, but that's why you don't have one.

ok pick up the owners manual and read it

heres the real answer:

when you engage sport mode it will hold your gears longer when you are in twisties and stuff like that so the car doesn't shift unsuspected when you come into a turn. they removed it because they figured out a way to do it automatically...
