Shifting Issue

[exexexex]

hey guys,as I said before I put new Honda ATF into my tranny 2 weeks ago.Nowdays,I found out that when the engine is a bit cold,the tranny shifts very smooth and I barely feel it's shifting.However,after like 20 minutes driving,the shifting became a bit harsh and I started to feel it.Is it cauz the tranny got hot or what? Any idea guys? Thanx!

well do u notice what gear and speed and throttle each shift is?

i mean liek sometimes i feel it hella smooth, yet sometimes i feel that jerk.. i guess we may be too sensitive at tiems haha. maybe i've grown to ignore the things...

i don't think you can go wrong w/ honda ATF...

always between 3 and 4th,very harsh.I checked many info webs and got to know that we may need new main control solenoid.I have no idea what's that.......... what you feel when shifting bro?

aww man.. id unno if i gonna dump too much money into the car... haha.. well i'm still trying to find free time to do teh tranny fluid flush, as it is near 80k,

gotta get ATF honda..

i notice it depends how much throttle i put into it.. but mostly the quick shifts are when slow speed, and when i pound and stuff i feel the heavier shift. other than that its smooth.

the idle is hella botthering me though... it is super smooth at times when the idle is perfect, yet mostly it is low and rattles..

yeah,bro,flush is always a good idea.For me,shift between 1-2 is ok,either light throttle or hard throttle,same feeling.As for 3 and 4,I'd better use hard than light.......... No idea why.But anyways,I am gonna change the fluid again in several months just to make sure the tranny will last for a bit longer.Meanwhile I am aiming at the sound system,lol.I was going to get some rims,but I didn't since I wanna use the money towards a bit perfomance and sound first,leave rims and lights later.......
