I have a 99 Honda Accord EX Coupe, V6, 3.0L and I'm thinking there might be a problem with the automatic transmission. When I give it gas, it will rev high with little power, then shift hard and jerk when it goes to the next gear. It does not shift smoothly at all.
Would this be a transmission problem? Would I need a new transmission?

Thanks for the help!

Is the transmission fluid level correct? Do you have any trouble codes (warning lights on)? Some V6 Accords do have transmission problems which Honda dealers know about and they sometimes cover (at least partially) under an extended warranty. I would take it to a dealer and get it checked out.

Good Luck

The symptoms you describe sound just like the ones I had on my transmission when it was replaced. Take it to your local Honda Dealer and have them diagnose the problem.

Go to this website and log in or register to find out the latest on the extended warrantee on the transmission.

The dealer's service manager can negotiate with Honda to cover the transmission and replace it with a remanufactured one even if you are over the time or milage limit. Good Luck!
