I have read through most of the threads looking for an answer to my problem but did'nt find one, I hope someone out their can help. I own a 1987 accord 110000mls and recently had to have the auto trans replaced with a donor unit from the yard. the original one would not move in reverse and the local shop said it was biffed. anyway the donor one is acting weird in the upshifts. it will shift ok from 1 to 2(hard) and usually ok 2 to 3(harder) but not all the time and will not shift from 3 to 4 unless I ease back on the gas just like you would do in a manual. it does'nt matter if its hot or cold. so when I'm driving I have to ease back on the gas when it needs to change from 1 to 2 and 2-3 to prevent the hard shift and if I dont ease back for 3 to 4 it will not shift. I have changed the tranny fluid using honda stuff but it made no difference. If anyone has an answer to this for me I would apreciate it cause its driving me nuts.
