1992 Honda Accord...My automatic Transmisson will not shift on its own it stays in 2nd gear. When shift it manually I can put in 1st and shift up to 2nd...or somedays i put it in 1st and have to shift up to 3rd because it wil only give 1st & 2nd or 1st & 3rd. 4th never works, but reverse does work.

Transmission control mod....under passenger floormat/carpet...mine was a pxo28100 731....found a 732 from a 93...it was comp. #10 socket ...4 nuts...remove box just enough to get to tmc...3 nuts and unplug...yes, disconnect battery first...honda wanted 650.00 for a new one with different numbers...replacement, can no longer get the 731...ebay has them for 45.00 on up to 275.00....i paid 21.00....hey,,,for a person on a low budget...used worked for me.Good luck! oh yea----be wary of the pros...$$$$$$....!
i had the same thing...It's the transmission. It's REALLY noticeable shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I was able to get my transmission fixed for 900 bux. That wasn't even a replacement so i can imagine how much it would cost to get it replaced. The shifting will get worse. By the end of my "experience" it wouldn't shift from 1st to 2nd for about 5 minutes until i drove it around for a bit. THen it would "warm up" to the idea of shifting to 2nd gear.
it has a problem with the second gear drum it cracks and does not fully engauge the n shifts to 3rd ..many honda owners also learn the 8 bucks a quart is the only fluid to pour in a honda..but remember 3 qaurts per drain and fill the tranny holds 7q ....it will take a case to do a drain flush...a high pressure flush will ruin a automatic tranny with alot of miles or metal deposits floating around inside..DRAIN AND FILL 3 QUARTS AT A TIME NO GASKET NEEDED ITS BUILT AND DESIGNED LIKE A MANUAL TRANNY
the vehicle may have a electrical problem and or mechanical problem in the trans....id try replaceing the solenoids and then the entire transmision and torque converter.
the neutral safty switch tells the comp. what gear is in. when its not working the light wont move and the car will not go threw the gears prop. the switch is nown to go out. it is located on the tranny or down under the shifter
It's hard to understand when you say it feels like a manual shift. Noise? Feel? I do know that the 87 auto trans does have a weak 1st to 2nd shift drum (as explained to me by my mechanic) that makes a grinding, elongated shift under heavy acceleration when it starts to wear. Under normal acceleration, 1st to 2nd shifts were normal (crisp, immediate). Since that day 8 years ago, I've avoided starting off to quickly, and so far have saved myself a tranny overhaul.
