This only happens after the car has gotten warm.

There's a short delay shifting from reverse to drive (and maybe park to drive, i forgot). There's a small bit of shaking.

What can I do.

98 accord lx coupe v6.

 

Add some transmition fluid for right now but you might need to have your mechanic change it (transmition fluid) depending on you mileage

 

it's pushing 148k i don't think the tranny fluid's ever been changed unless it's part of routine maintenance performed by honda.

 

it's possible that it's never been changed. If not, changing it could correct the problem. It needs it anyhow and it's the cheapest alternative. It needs to be flushed, which means you have to get someone else to do it. They usually charge about 60 bucks for this. If you want to do it yourself, you can drain the old (but it will leave much old fluid behind) add new fluid, drive it a bit (to mix it in) then drain and refill again and you will have changed most of it. Be sure to use Honda fluid ONLY>

 

All hondas do this. transmission fluid should be change every 10k miles or every year depending in the yr of the car.
