Fellas,

As I was driving on the Palisades Parkway yesterday, from West Point back to NYC, I was accelerating fairly hard and the RPMS kept going up and up, until about 7000 when it finally shifted.. It definitely missed a shift.. I wasn't WOT so it should have (and never normally does) go that high...

Should I worry?

 

Yes....keep a close eye on it. Mine started with a missed shift....two days later it was in the dealer getting tranny #2.

 

That doesn't sound good... I'd take it in ASAP instead of waiting. No senes in running the risk of getting stranded or worse.... HURT!!!

 

I have the same issue w/ Tranny #2 - I told the dealer last week about it during inspection and they didnt do shit...So when I crash and get hurt ( Hopefully that wont happen) - they're screwed

 

Yeah that's what I was afraid of ... Last time I was at my dealer I was talked to my service guy about preventing a tranny problem before it happens because im afraid of getting stuck or god forbid something worse when i can already see the problem developing.. i just got off the phone.. im bringing it in wednesday and getting a loaner while they check it out..

thanks for the replies.. wanted to check with the experts first :P

 

Yo, The exact same thing happened to me, and my tranny was SHOT. I took it to the dealership IMMEDIAETLY.

 

I think your tranny is phoning home, Elliot!!!

 

E.T. Extra-Transmission

 

u guys are a bunch of fucking chatty cathies....

geesh, doesn't mean his tranny is gonna die, shit happened to me several times in my CL and I NEVER NEEDED A NEW TRANNY....

fuck, guy comes here with an issue, and all you guys can spout is that his tranny is dead...

 

Yeah...but didn't you get the gold plated tranny, Mr. Moneybags? Us welfare recipients got the regular one that's made out of pewter. Easy tuff....I'm sure the only guys chiming in are the ones it happened to. Mine missed a shift, then reverse sounded like Armageddon, then it started arbitrarily going into neutral and dropping back into gear...not a fun experience. I just don't want the experience to be an alien one for Elliot (god, I crack myself up!!!)

 

but thats how it all starts... Its happened to several folks, and evidence indicates that its on its way down. why put off the inevitable? Maybe you had the one transmission that didn't wanna give up. But a lot of us have had the one that coughed once & died.

 

Yeah...it's not like Elliot's tranny is going to come back to life and flowers in the house will bloom (more of me being a jackass!!)

 

and lets face it .. Honda submitted a report to the NHTSA showing that their quality control is crap at best .. any and all are subject to total distruction .. sounds to me like his new tranny will be on its way shortly

 

i want to walk in there with a document saying "I understand that if his tranny dies soon, we will take responsibility and may suffer financial damages" and ask them to sign it .. of couse they won't.. but theyll see im more than serious
