Transmission problems? Help!

[MichaelPower]

To start I drive a 2000 ex sedan. I went to start it up this morning and when i put it into D4 the green box didnt come on around it. And when I push the gas to take off it kind of sputtered up to 2500 rpms and then began going and it seemed like it didn't want to shift but I didn't drive it long. What do you guys think it is? I hope my transmission isn't screwed yet, I only have 56000 miles

Check your fluid level first. Then if its good, try using your manual gear selections. L, 2, D3. You may have a bad shift solenoid. I've seen on some honda's not just ours that D4 goes out first, due to high usage, but other gears work. Also do you have a chk engine light? Sometimes, Trans will set codes if it senses something wrong and prevent use of gear.
Good luck.

Thanks for the answer. Car goes to honda tommorow but anyone else have some input?

Kind of hard to give you more input without you doing more testing.
The bulb for D4 could've simply burned and need replacing. Your converter could somehow be fully clogged. Someone stuffed a potatoe in your exhaust.

Go out and check the level of the tranny fluid, other fluids. Try it on D3, D2, D1 as already mentioned. Does it struggle in reverse as well?

There is absolutely no struggle in reverse. What does that mean? Sorry for the stupid questions I'm a 16 year old noob

Hope it's not a big issue that'll cost too much...especially since you're taking it in to the dealer.

I am to:/ but I feel comfortable having them do it because I know it'll be done correctly. If you could give a guess what would you think it is?

So honda just told me the main computer is shot and they want 1100. But my friend who drove their for me said it was driving fine. What's up with that?
