My 2001 Honda accord has 117k miles on it. I have maintained it well. Within the last few months every now and then it wont go into 1st and reverse easily. I dont know much about transmissions. What is the problem?

 

My car did the same for awhile and now it got worst and my car is now parked and staying that way because the tranny is going out, maybe it's a sign that your tranny might go out. Good luc

 

check the fluid level and condition.

is it auto or manual?

 

I recently replaced the fluid, it is a manual.

 

does it do it when its cold?

 

It was cold outside but the car was at operating temps.
