Once I throw 3rd ...

once i throw 3rd gear the car feels as if it stops pulling as hard as the other gears. But if I amcruising in 5th and downshift to 4th it pulls really hard . What can be causing this , timing or something ?

strange, if it was timing or motor related, you'd feel it in any gear

Third gears are the devil in all Honda's. It sucks
