Question on AUTO TRANNY! HELP!

Im not too sure if this is a problem or not ,but i have an automatic, and when i switch from park to drive, or any gear to drive, it takes like 2 seconds, for it to kick in, like ill switch it and it will idle for a second or two then you hear this little noise and it gives it a little bump. Any other automatic owners have this too? Because i told honda that and they said it was normal and there was no need to check it out??

Yeah right, anytime a tranny takes a few seconds to get in gear there usually is a problem. We had a problem with one of our trucks. Would take about 3-5 secs to get in gear. It was the high pressure reverse clutch. So you might have a problem with the clutches inside. Also check your fluid. If it smells or is brown you have a major problem.

I doubt it, I bet everyone does. I have a manual EX, but my 90' Integra is auto and I screw with the gears all of the time. Has sport shifting gears(S3 and S4) not tip-tronic.

try putting it in D and step on the throttle immediately and see the reaction time for your car to get in motion
