Mine's an '04 I4 (which I believe has a transmission different from yours), and I can sometimes get it into 5th at 40 mph while "cruising." As long as I'm not accelerating hard, it'll get into 4th long before 40. So it does seem that something is wrong with yours.

Top up your rad and your reservoir and check it again next day. Repeat until the level stops dropping. The computer won't allow the tranny to shift at the usual points when the coolant has been allowed to run low, since it can't tell if the engine is up to temperature when its sensor is high-n-dry,..

i second that. and if the coolant system is good, replace the tw sensor. i recently had the same problem with my civic and it was the tw sensor. beware: it appeared to test good, but replacing it was the cure. $25.
