    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.

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