Try flushing the fluid. 2 1/2 quarts come out easily with the drain plug at the driver side. Add only Honda approved fluid. It is OLD dextron and $8 a quart. There is no filter on a Honda but you could add one on the return line from the radiator /cooler. Use Lucas conditioner as a last resort before replacing the solenoids/transmission. My CL had blocked filter mesh screens at the Torque Converter lock-up solenoids.
