Shoutout from another who's experienced a 6th gen Accord with an auto transmission failure. Great car otherwise. Our Accord never did any holding of gears, instead it revved up during shifts. Ended up learning the shift computer enough to know when to lift to have it shift smooth.


Only thing I might be able to add here, are you only experiencing this is second gear? I say this because it's in second gear that the torque converter locks in this car so it behaves a bit differently than the other gears. I drive in manual mode all the time so I really notice the TC locking, but with the transmission shifting in a bit more 'relaxed' way in regular drive mode maybe that has something to do with it and it isn't as obvious.
