mine has been weakening and going out on me just today. it just revs and i got stuck on the damn freeway for a few seconds, and then stuck on a small street after i got off. i had to turn off the car, turn back on, it went for a little, then kept slipping. damn hondas.

 

no, there should not be any noticable changes in shift between gears. when my trans started doing that it was death shortly thereafter at around 71K miles
