Why is it having trouble moving in reverse?

So when forward and reverse are selected at the same time the transmission binds and the car ends up going nowhere fast. The more revs you give it the worse it gets. They replaced the main shaft and now the problem is gone. Read more at http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php…

Why is my p4-p1 having trouble moving in reverse?

P4 – P1 100% transmission fluid is good. The other day I accelerated putting my foot flat on the petrol. After that me neutral is off center.

Lunges, to me would mean that it jumps forward. Because I am cognizant and sensitive to the problem, I am careful about not trying to press down (too hard) on the accelerator.

Why does my car lag when I put the car in reverse?

In some cases, delay when putting the vehicle in reverse is caused by a problem with the transmission’s valve body. However, lag can also be caused by computer problems, such as a faulty shift solenoid.
