Default 91 accord idle

i have a 91 accord and about 4 months ago I got a fluctuating idle fixed and just about a week ago I got my engine misfiring fixed. now my car drives real smooth except for two things. my idle is real low. Maybe because of the past idle prob. not sure. also, when my car shifts, it is auto., it feels a little hard, not sure why. any help please.

You can turn the idle up a hair if you must....My Prelude idles at about 800-900

When was the last time you had the Tranny flushed?

you shouldn't have to adjust the idle screw at all, as it is set from the factory. the car should idle around 750rpm after warmed up. if it idles a lot lower than that, there is a problem with the car and messing with the idle screw will not fix the problem. later.
