Why does my Honda Accord lag in acceleration?
Quickly accelerate your Honda after driving it at a steady speed once the engine is warm. You should notice a quick up-shift in the transmission. A lag in acceleration may indicate that the transmission is not able to shift quickly enough. The transmission should shift smoothly between gears.
What causes a Honda transmission to go out of gear?
The trouble is caused by an increased level of friction amongst the moving parts of your transmission. The transmission is slipping out of gear while you are driving at a steady speed, or the transmission up-shifts and then immediately drops out of gear.
Why does my car not shift into third gear?
Such a problem is automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear. The transmission shifts into the first and then to second gear but does not move into the third gear. It seems that the gear slips into neutral when you push it to the third. Another instance could be the automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear at all.
What causes automatic transmission to not shift properly?
A faulty PCM (powertrain control module) will affect the transmission performance because it controls the gearbox mechanism in most car models. The PCM will have no input if the speed sensor fails. In that case, the transmission will not shift properly. To solve this problem, you have to check the speedometer to see…

When does the transmission shudder under heavy acceleration?
The transmission shudders slightly at acceleration after shifting into 2nd and again once it shifts into 3rd. It doesn’t do it under heavy acceleration or very light acceleration.
Can a car shift gears without a downshift solenoid?
Downshift solenoids are an important transmission component, and without them, the vehicle will not be able to shift gears properly, sometimes even to the point of rendering the car undriveable.
