Honda Accord 2003 reverse problem HELP!!
 

Hey, I have a honda accord 03 V6 3.0
The problem is when the car is cold (sometimes even when its hot) the transmission wont go to reverse until I take it to another gear and then returned to reverse again, I flush the transmission and refilled with honda genuine fluid and a half bottle of lucas, it went good for a couple days and then back to the same problem.. any knowledge or advice about this ?

Poor reverse servo shaft seal, leaking 4th (or 5th for 5 speeds) clutch piston, or worn shift detents/dogs on the forks/gear. You require a disassembly and inspection. In my experience, you have either too much wear on the reverse/accumulator valve body servo bore, leaking o-ring, or defective 4th clutch. You should have a 5 speed unit.

I have seen a few of each, o-ring leakage is the most common.
