lazy trasmission
I have a '99 EX 1.6L with the automatic transmission. It seems not eager to shift gears. It takes longer than it should to make the shift. This is more noticeable when cold. When it warms up it does better almost getting good enough to not be noticeable. There are no flashing lights or other bad indicators. Just a reluctance to shift. It downshifts well.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

If the engine runs poorly or lacks power for any reason, that can cause the trans to shift late.
Is there a cable leading from the throttle body to the transmission? Could be misadjusted.
