You would have to have a service manual for your car, and my service manual was sold with the car. Sorry  It was probably 10 years ago, when I adjusted mine, and my memory doesn't have all the details (free play etc.).

| Eventhough the Honda people might say it's normal, the Honda remanufactured one the dealer installed in my 2k V6 doesn't do it. And it performs MUCH better than the original one. Like has been said here before, the original one had a problem figuring out what gear to select when coming to a rolling stop and then having to accelerate. Hard clunking to a lower gear. Just glad Honda had been forced to extend their extended warranty on the tranny. Mine fell out of the original extended warranty but within the second extension. | |

Hi, this is the first time doing this so if I have missed previous answers about this subject sorry. Just bought a used 2006 Honda Accord V-6, I find that the tranny takes time to shift into gear (from d to r) and when shifting into drive. When driving it shift hard at low acceleration and seem to hesitate when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Car has 24000 miles on it. It shifts well under hard acceleration. Has anyone come across this before, should it be something that I should be worried about

Hello everyone, Just to let you all know who helped me. You were all right. I had to have new Brake Rotors. No transmission problems whatsoever. I again thank you all for the help. The manager at Meineke felt so stupid when i took my brother-in-law with me. Ladies beware. Don't go to these types of place by yourself. Take some male person with you.

I've just skimmed all the posts here, and see that shifting problems are usually described as harsh. My car does the opposite: from first to second gear, there's a definite absence of power transfer lasting almost a second. The shift from 2nd to 3rd is better, but still perceptably sloppy. Higher gears are better, hard to tell when the shift takes place. The Accord has only 4K miles on it. My 98 Camry with 165K miles shifts better. I've noticed that the Accord shifts crisper if my foot is pushing hard on the accelerator. It's almost as if Honda expects the car to be driven aggressively, and designed the transmission for it. But I don't want to jackrabbit away from stop lights. Never did, and don't want to start now. If I take the car in to the dealer, I expect I'll be told "yeah, this is how they all drive." (I bought the car at the dealer with 3500 miles. It shifted like this from Day One. I thought I'd get used to it. Nope.) Advice, please? -- Steve

Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 26, 2008 6:41 pm) In over 40 years of car buying, this is the first Honda I've ever had. Almost bought another Toyota, but was captured by the handling of the Accord. Still, it amazes me that my 10-year-old Camry (with 165K miles) shifts better than this new Accord.
