This has only happened twice in the last month. I would be at an intersection and when the light turned green I would start going and the gears would not change. I am trying to gain speed and the engine revs high. Then, suddenly it kicks in. The car has been behaving itself for the last few days. What could be wrong?

hey if i were you check your kick down cable from your transmission to your throttle. if it acts normal when you dont accelerate hard but does when you do then i would check this for sure, happened to me twice, but also if your filter is dirty and needs replaced then the fluid will move slower and will not have the response at higher rpms than at lower, which will cause the tranmission to slip. hope this helps.

You did not say what kind of car. Some have a modulator valve, that is easy to replace. You may be low on fluid, or your filter may be dirty. There is also a cable from the throttle to the tranny, this may need adjustment. Without a car make there are too many maybe's.

Most people never change fluid and filter. Also all cars need a extra trans cooler added. Heat destroys the fluid and the fluid destroy the clutch packs.

if it were any other car i would say you lost the second gear accumulator, but it is a honda, with a computer controlled manual transmission, you may have a computer issue. need to get back to honda/acura and let them take a look at it.

Its because when you reverse, your car is still moving when you put your car into drive...and vice verca....
Your cars going to continue doing this...and it will get worse.
You need to get a new car...a 94 or 93 is OLD!

Checked your transmission fluid level lately? It may be low, which is causing your transmission to slip.
