My 2002 Accord I4 has an issue i can only describe as hard down and up shift when driving a very low speed. Or a turn It does not slip or slam in to any gear, reverse is fine. If im driving and slow a rolling stop it feels like it falls in to first then swings up in to second. There at no other issues at all.

Question is, were are the solenoid's that control 1-2 gear?

Also has anyone ever gotten more than 100K on a tranny in a 98-02 accord I4? Has anyone ever been able to overcome these shifting issues buy focusing on the solenoids? Is this issue with 1st and 2nd down shifting the start of fast end or a long end with regards to how much life is left in this tranny?

 

Pulled the set of solenoid on top of the tranny just below the dist, the screens were spotless.
