Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. after doing research on the 2001 honda accord transmissions. i'm not the only one that has this problem. there are so many people that believe how great honda vehicles are and it seems that honda doesn't want to do anything about it. my sister inlaw was looking at a new 2016 honda. i showed her all the problems that honda had and she decided to buy something else. shame on honda for not taking care of there customers. you need to recall this transmission and do the right thing. we call this ( standing behind our products and customers ). hope you do the right thing...
Car started shifting hard into first and second gears. then my check engine light came on and the code: p0740 came up. i have researched this issue and have found that there was a lawsuit in ca regarding this and that it is a major issue for my generation honda. i had my transmission fluids checked and the levels are fine, color is good, and it does not smell burnt. before i pay for a hefty repair, i would like to know if honda has, or will, taken any responsibility for repairs or replacement.
