And you're not sorry for suddenly abandoning your previous thread and starting a brand-new one, leaving the old one stranded?
I'm not interested in helping clueless newbies ignorant of Usenet etiquette, sorry.
Reply to your original thread or bye-bye from me.
I get flamed whenever I take this up, but I don't care.
This arrogance that people in these groups develop where suddenly the form of the question and the "ignorant of usenet etiquette" becomes more important than all else just makes my eyes roll back into my head.
If you are no longer interested in helping "clueless newbies" then pass the torch to someone who is less burned out.

Much better, Wayne
The tranny is computer controlled, and various solenoids do the shifting. Auto trannies live or die because of the fluid you put in them. Try wiping the dipstick on a sheet of paper and tell us what color it is. Smell it too. It's probably smelling burnt. If you perform a drain-n-fill on the tranny, make sure to use HONDA Z1, or you'll create other problems. Is your shifter sluggish, or does it 'bind' ever? Have you had any electrical problems lately? Are you in a RUST BELT city?
If it was mine I'd do a drain-n-fill ONCE and see if things get better, but don't rule out the shifter linkage or a stuck solenoid.
You can remove the bottom end of the shifter linkage and see if the cable is smooth or gummed up. Lube with silicone spray or graphite spray. I know your car is older, but look in the Accord and Civic TSB's regarding 'stuck keys / shifter linkage' to see if anything makes sense to you.
