    hard shifting

    Hey guys long time no see

    I haven't had any big issues with my Honda for a very long time but for the last week or so my when my car shifts seem to be a bit harder than normal.

    should I do a tranny flush soon or could it be something worst how many kms should i change my timing belt. I'm at 105,000 I'm guessing pretty soon

    P.S

    the accord is no longer my daily driver. she is still being driven but not by me. my sister drives the 2gee now since its such an easy and reliable car to drive

    I bought a 1979 camaro with a 350 from a 1976 corvette in it.
    I love my accord with its mega rare A16A1 engine and its awesome loud roar. but I have to walk to japan just to find parts for it.

    Yeah, these automatics tend to shift pretty late and pretty hard. Changing the fluid a couple times will help, but these just aren't silky smooth shifting auto transmissions. My 81 shifts smoother. I feel ya on the hard shifting issue...
