Hello all,,Im a new accord owner from NC. I recently purchased my first Honda car.A 2002 SE Coupe with nthe V-tec,,,Hope I like it more than the 02-04 Vtec VFR's,lol. I knew of the trans issues before I bought the car but the engine runs like a sewing machine and its pretty clean so I thought the price was fair.
First gear will basically not engage. When I start in 2nd and then move it up,It shifts flawlessly.
Ive done one trans fluid change (2.6 qts) and it will now engage ONCE from drive and go through the gears,Once its warms up 1st gear doesn't engage anymore. Well Every 1 out 10-15 stops it will drop into 1st.
Any ideas and is it harmful to keep taking off in 2nd? Any help would be appreciated,,,Mike.
