Delayed Shifting?
I have a 91 Accord. When it is cold out (20 F) there is about a 2 sec delay in going from any gear to Reverse. Going to drive is fine, but to reverse has a delay. This occurred last winter (2004) and I thought that this was the end of the transmission because every time I've lost a transmission Reverse was the first to go. As the weather warmed up the problem went away. Its been fine until now. The weather has gotten very cold here in Connecticut in the past week and now I'm seeing this problem again. The only other thing I can tell is that there also is a delay going into park. The transmission goes into park but won't release the key on the ignition for a few seconds (longer than it should). My questions are is this all due to the cold, cable problems, or is the transmission going to be a problem??? Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated as I am extremely worried about this. Thank you.
