auto tranny problem
 
i have an 03 EX coupe with 16,000 miles. lately the tranny has just been feeling weird. sorry if i cant explain it but its just weird. it jerks around once in a while and the shifts are not as sharp as they used to be. i admit that i drive hard but its way too early for a failing tranny. the fluid is normal. did anyone have similar problems? and if so, how did you fix it?

1. Change your fluid
2. Check your motor mounts
3. Dealership since you are still under warranty

i got the same problem dude ive got an 03 ex sedan wit a lil over 12k on it. yes i drove it hard for like the 1st 10k to 11k. right now im just dealing with it, also when your driving if you let off the gas does ur speedometer just start dropping and u can feel the car slowing down?

Change the fluid. It doesn't last anywhere close to what Honda claims.

I had the same issue. I took it to the dealer and ended up with a new trans.

Don't worry. If the car is stock, take it in for a free tranny replacement once it breaks. Also, you're past my recommended atf change time of 15k miles. I waited til 18k miles and it was still okay.

mugenman, yea it does that too. im just gona change the atf. if the tranny breaks then ill change it under warranty. its a lease so i don't feel too bad. 2 years left then comes the TSX. :)

Sounds like auto transmission slippage. Get it fixed by the dealer if your car is still under warranty.
