hello everyone. first of all, thanks for all the info out here and the help. been reading for the past few days after i got a 98 cl 3.0 well the motor has 95k and it seems to be running good. been enjoying the car to the fullest. well today as i was cruising at low speeds i noticed something i didn't before.

i think its in 3rd gear when it goes in at 20mph or 2nd not sure and kicks in some what hard? is this common? little faster acceleration is fine, but at low speeds and before it goes to 3rd or 2nd i left off and i can here the shift with a like a plate noise along with a kick that shakes the car little bit.
