On occasion, while in 4D gear and I have to decelerate to a 1st or 2nd gear speed, my Accord seems to down shift extraodinarily hard and when I begin to accelerate, it seems to lurch before it shifts back into gear. I've been to 2 mechanics and a transmission shop and all have told me something different. Due to inconsistencies of information at the tranny shop, I'm not real trusting of their opinion. I'm told there are no codes showing up in the computer but that the fluid has a bad odor, that I shouldn't change the fluid now, that it doesn't require a tranny filter, that I should put some additive in it, that I shouldn't put additive in it, that the down shifting is normal for this car. I recently bought the car at 140,000 miles and don't know what it needs so I've had alot of other work done on it already to make sure no problems crop up too soon. I suspect that the wrong tranny fluid may have been put in the vehicle. What should I do about this suspicious tranny issue?
