I am inquiring for a friend. My friend has a 1996 Accord EX with an automatic transmission. This transmission went bad today..

This is one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced. The car will do fine in Reverse and 1st gear.

Here's how it goes.

D4/D3/2 - Goes through 1st gear and then throws itself into Neutral and just keeps revving.

1st gear - lets you just drive, but revvs like it's not supposed to be there. I got it up to 50 mph in the 1st gear position. I know that it switches itself into 2nd gear, but I don't understand this AT ALL.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

I know the transmission is ****ed, but anyone else experience this?
