    O.K tranny not out. I just think she's confused about what it's doing. She didn't let it warm up and was confusing tranny not shifting with general cold bloodyness. I haven't had time to do a tune up or anything yet. The tranny does shift pretty late and pretty hard. I'll read up on lubricating the various cables and start replacing the fluid with "Honda" ATF.
    Oh, and I turn 40 in May.
    My other daughter is pregnant so trying to get used to the Grandpa thing!

    Thanks!
    I did check it. Was full both when cold and when fully warmed up (Wasn't sure which one was the proper measurement).
    This is starting to turn into a tech thread so I'll post up there soon.
    Thanks for the great welcome from everyone.

    Re: New to Accords

    New things done:
    Replaced both front UCA's
    Front brake pads
    Passenger cv shaft
    Adjusted throttle cable and auto TV cable.
    Replaced Tranny fluid.
    Replaced positive cable, old one wouldn't tighten down on new battery terminal.
    Shifts a bit smoother now. Starts without help from the skinny pedal most of the time now. My daughter already flooded it out thinking she had to hit the gas a few times before starting. Kids just aren't used to carb'd cars I guess!
    I showed her "how to start it with the pedal all the way down if flooded" method.
    Hopefully she won't call me at 11pm asking me to come rescue her at the gas station again!
