I have a 2001 Accord (185,000mi) which had this problem, I removed and cleaned both shift solenoid assemblies located on top of the transmission, problem solved. Afterwards I did a flush. (Drain, fill, drive 3 times).
Have the same issue, 98 lx. did all the solenoid cleaning and changed the fluid but it still shifts down hard into 1st coming to a stop. I've noticed it only starts to happen when the engine gets fully hot, after some freeway driving or a lot of in town driving. Most people say it's just prolonging time to the inevitable failure but the fact it doesn't happen constantly is what makes me think I can do something about it.
I have a very similar problem with my 2000 accord v6. When I leave the car for 30 off for minutes or so the shifting returns to normal and then it gets worse in stop and go traffic or driving up hills.
@@Lifeofnuggs I have the same problem with my 2002 Honda Accord. I tried everything to solve this problem but it’s always the same outcome so what I do is baby the hell out of my car and be patient with it until I can find me a new/used car :/ pitiful really
I have a 98 Acura Cl 3.0. These engines are knows as the J30A1. My car was driving normal. But one day it just flashed D4. And the car would accelerate slooowww. And once I reached 40 mph. The car would drive regular. But when I would go to a stop sign, I would have to restart. Just wondering if this’ll. Work
I have a 2000 Accord 2.3L automatic with 305k miles on it and it recently started to shift hard and the D4 started flashing. You think if I did this it would help with the shift?
I have a 2001 Honda Accord lx and the transmission is automatic and when I try to put full power down it doesn’t shift it gets to rpm 5 and jerks like it’s stuck but when I drive normally u kno not street racer mode it shifts ok it gets high revs when it shifts sometimes. Do u kno what the cause of that is bc I don’t wanna buy a new transmission
I have a 2004 Honda Accord 2.4L automatic so when I drive down the street not even a block it goes into neutral while it’s in drive and it’ll take a while till it’s shift back into drive any tips will help Thank You
🤬🤬🤬 I’m so pissed I got a 01 accord swapped the transmission because it was shifting hard and wouldn’t shift good when I would drive it and when I would shift to reverse it wouldn’t even go into reverse I swapped the transmission from a 98 accord and it started running good but then after an hour of driving it started doing the same bull 💩 y’all think if I clean the solenoids my car would be fine please some one answer!!!!

@@raulbenavides9201how long were you able to baby it for I currently am having that problem
@@raulbenavides9201trying to figure out if I should sell it or baby it
I'd like to see a b4 qnd after of that engine bay getting cleaned. LORD HAVE MERCY! Great vid...thx
thanks for the advise. Did this help improve the transmission shifting?
Yes it does
could i just buy new solenoids if i’m having this same problem?
Yes

My 01 v6 Honda does that from time to time when cold
That most likely will be your vehicle speed sensor. When the d4 flashes it means the vehicle speed sensor is not reading
Yes it will help absolutely.
Hi I have a 02 accord se when I start it no power in d4 or d3 so I have to put it in 2nd then d3 then d4 it is a automatic help ASAP!!
The help is right in front of you. geez

I’m having this problem did you get it fixed
Following. I'm having a similar issue
Having the same issue
Any one figure it out i have the same issue
If you were to replace it would you drain the transmission fluid before you remove it then when you got it in fill it or does it really matter
Replace the fluid before you remove it otherwise you will just clog the screens again.
My 2001 Honda drives up like 30miles an hr and start to shift in and out of gears ...what should I do
That is not a bad idea. Lets keep it in the PM to do. thanx
I recently replaced 4 of these solenoids. Now the car is not shifting and it won't let me engage the shifting column into d1
You must’ve gotten off brand Chinese solenoids
@@truthseeker1203 yeah absolutely right.I had to go look for some oem from the junkyard
Try 1 by 1 don't just replace all

Low fluid?
@@jbortega1178 checked the fluids with it warmed up and it was right where it is suppose to be at
Thank you!!!
Can you soaked it with soap and water on the solenoid to get the gunk out?
Idk I don’t think so just use wd 40
@@user-eo7xu5kn1ywd 40 kills rubber.
Also has 300k miles^
I GOT 01 accord dx manual but tranny looks a lil different rigtt now my shifting its the worse and i just lost reverse dont know wat to do
Did you fix your problem?
Would that solenoid also have the d4 light blinking and no power on takeoff?
@unlimitedprojects
Did you ever figure out the problem my car is doing the same thing
Yes
I have a 06 civic. 1.6 liter. Automatic. I cant find the solenoids to save my life! Where are they?
96. Not 06

How many miles does it have? & did you fix it?
Trans fluid looks pretty dirty my guy
Dirty and blacked are two completely different levels lol. Dirty is “okay” but if it’s like completely black. That’s when the troubles start
@@russells19 Hondas like fresh fluid
@@truthseeker1203 most cars like fresh fluid, unless your clutch material is already floating in the worn fluid, and thats all the grip shes got.
@@russells19 dirty isn’t okay
@@truthseeker1203 Only because there is no filter.
