1992 Accord, Transmission
 

My accord has recently began starting out in 2nd gear. (Auto) I can
manually begin in first with no problem. The d4 light has flashed in
the past, so I restart the car and manually shift to first. Any
suggestions. (I will be changing the fluid tomorrow with ATF Z1) I will
post if this clears the problem.

If a fluid change does not help, the problem could be the tranny control
unit (TCU).
