So recently I've been experiencing some tranny problems it shifts good but downshifts really hard and when I yield and my car doesn't reach 0 mph I go to accelerate and it take a few seconds to catch the gear and sometimes like jumps I changed my TC last October and did a 3x3 tranny flush right after, what can I do to maybe fix this pressure switches ?

maintenance is forever. change the fluid every 30k miles or so.
and yes, if you havent changed the pressure switches... change them out.

I bought the car with 75k miles it has 81k now I don't think the previous owner changed the tranny fluid it was black. I'm just scared that my transmission is going to shit the bed

It's 2 grand for a new tranny or rebuilt ?

rebuilt, the new trans gonna run you anywhere from $3700 - $6000.

Black fluid... Yeah you're probably SOL. Try a fluid exchange but that's a crapshoot.

Black fluid?

Arielkb2

not black but very dirty the cars fluid hadn't been changed in like 76k miles

Even changing my RL and Odyssey trans fluid every 30,000 the fluid is pretty dark every time. It seems to darken very quickly and I think it's just an attribute of hondas atf. Only time I drained fluid that looked great was when I did a 3x3. Anyway, I wouldn't count your transmission dead just because it was dark. If u did a 3x3 after a TC replacement that should have given you nearly 100% new fluid as the technician would have had to add new as well after the install. Just keep doing a drain/fill every 20-30k miles and hope for the best.
