I thought I should share with you guys about what I do everyday to stay away from having AT issues. I hope this would help you guys, especially for members who just got their AT Accords recently.
-Getting out of your car-
1. Shift to N
2. Pull E-brake
3. Foot off the break (if car keeps moving further, pull E-brake harder)
4. Turn off your engine to 1st stage←(where audio can be on/off)
5. Shift to P
6. Pull out your key from the ignition
-Getting in for a drive-
1. Shift to N by using your key on the shifter panel*
2. Turn engine on
3. Foot on break
4. Shift to D / R, however you get out
5. Release E-break
6.
(* This helps out the stress applied into your tranny b/c the car shakes when you turn your engine on.) Have you heard some sort of a heavy "click" from your shifter when you turn your engine on? If you have, that's the sound of force being applied to your tranny if it's shifted to P.
The idea is to stay away from applying an excessive weight of your vehicle into your transmission. I've seen many people (in general) that aren't using their e-brakes to park their cars (even some auto mechanics don't do that), but I think it is very crucial that we use e-brake, especially for our AT 6gens.
Mine is about 120K miles and it had a tiny jerking problem (from R to D), but it stopped doing this ever since I started to operate my car with these methods.
Hope this helps some of you. (This might also prolong your prospective project of a manual swap lol.)
