Check the fluid level... how long has it been since you changed your fluid.

Anyways it's normal for the car to rev a little higher when cold becasue the fluid is thicker... (I'm not sure if thats the word to use)

Do the hondas have a vacuum advance on the auto trannys? I know that on trannys that have them when they go out it doesnt let the tranny shift or is sluggish shifting. Just another thought......

i have to agree with mike. your fluid level is too low or you need to change the trans oil.

fuild has to be low or burned, flush out the tranny and replace it with honda atf only.

that or the valves inside are sticking and you need a rebuild.
