Knock knock... Who's there?!

Knock knock... Who's there?!
Sooooo.... This has become an on going (6-8 months long) issue that I can't seem to figure out.
Issue: After putting the car into drive, I'll let the car roll before pressing on the gas. After proceeding to let it roll, I'll press on the gas and..... the car won't accelerate. I noticed that the RPM drops when I press on the gas and makes a knocking noise. (Which I believe is coming from the tranny). As soon as I let go of the gas, I can feel the car go back to normal and then the car will accelerate fine after that. Also if I keep my foot on the gas pedal (instead of releasing my foot) the car will violently jumps forward....
Disclaimer: This mainly occurs after a warm start. Rarely on cold starts.
I jus changed my engine mounts. (front & right. rear is still good) I also did a 3x3 tranny fluid drain and fill about 4k miles ago. Just seafoamed and did an oil change. Also upon changing my engine oil, I notice I have a leak in my tranny... Seems like it could be gasket related.
Anyone have any ideas on what this issue could be?? Would this be a sign of an oncoming major/minor tranny problem??

does the trans engage fully in D5 from N in 1.6- 2.0 seconds? why are you rolling?
always drive like that?
how bad is the ATF leak and from where- the axle seal at trans?
get it fixed ASAP low fluid causes big problems
Did you use Honda DW-1 atf or some bs fluid
atf level is correct now when ckd after the 3x3? it is slightly over 3 qts that drains out

when the trans is warm the crud floating loose in the torque convertor gets slung outward and clogs the screens- limits pressure and no smooth shifting
did you clean the solenoid screens (2 external parts) and replace the oil filter for trans?

Leak is bad from what I could see from under the car (crosses fingers). And I can't really tell where from. I wiped the trans down hoping to see where it might be leaking from, but it only leaks when the car isn't lifted. (Weird) Taking it to a mechanic friend to check it out for me ASAP.
And yes only Honda-ATF. I made sure fluid levels weren't over or under filled as well.

As for engine mounts. They are Beck/Arnley. Front with Vac line and working....
This problem used to happen almost everyday... But when I did my drain and fill the problem went away for a couple weeks and then has been there ever since... But not daily...
#7
RPM's drop and have a "knocking" sound.....
So, ya think that the problem may be tranny related......check for any CEL codes and also make sure that the ATF fluid's level & condition is ok.
Recheck any recent work done and try to get that tranny leak fixed ASAP.

Soonest I can get the leak fixed is within another week.

atf level when ckd per book should read as BETWEEN ie: halfway between the 2 dots
with a large leak ck it every day and add before driving
low fluid and driving = bad news a rising
most likely source for mass quantity loss is the axle seals- when lifted the angle of axles drops and may obscure site of leak,
or without engine running- no fluid pressure = no leak showing
Trans rebuild gurus--other bad spots?

Wherever is leaking you should be able to spot the clean residue of oil.
As for the RPM drop while knocking, sounds to me like the ecu is retarding the timing.
You may have a bad knock sensor thats not setting both CEL and TCS light or might just be bad gas try different station.

Rear Main Seal
Update:
Took my car to a friendly mechanic to get my car checked out aaaaaaand.... The rear main deal between my tranny and motor is in pretty bad shape. According to the mechanic that's where the leak is coming from. Looking to have it fixed this weekend. Mechanic also told me not to drive so often cause if the oil gets to my catalytic converter then it could "potentially" catch Fire.
Really wish I coulda found the culprit sooner.. This is my daily driver. Hoping for the best until I can get it fixed.
