Hi, Today while driving home in my 92 accord with 130.00 miles on it the
transmission seemed to slip out of gear. D4 light would switch back and
forth a couple of times to D3 and finally settle into D3. I don't think the
trans is in limp mode because if I put it into D3 and leave it it shifts
normally through the gears. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Doug

Most obvious: Check the tranny fluid per the owner's manual and tell us
whether it's smelly, and what color it is when you wipe it on a white
sheet of paper. How full is it and when was it last changed (and where).

I checked the fluid and it is the right color and smell. The fluid has
always been changed at the proper service intervals (30,000 miles)by a
reputable service center. We had the discussion about proper (Honda)
lubricants when I first started to use them for servicing my accord.
