Accord 95 automatic transmission double engaging
Hello,
I read a lot of posts about the Honda's AT but I did not find an answer if this is normal: 1. Several week ago I bough 1995 Accord LX with 82 000 miles driven by a old lady. All maintenance was done at the dealership according to the schedule. The car runs perfect except a small thing: When I put the car in Direct (from neutral or park) I feel that the transmission engages once (a small "push"), then 1.5-2 second later I feel a second "push" and then I can drive. Something the second push is not noticeable. But most of the times I'll have to wait to the second push to drive (which is around 2.5 secs). Other then that the tranny shifts perfectly fine and my mechanic said it shifts actually a lot smoother then most 92-97 accords. Is my transmission double-engaging normal? Thanks |

If you take it to a transmission shop or Honda Dealership--they will probably charge you lots of money to fix the problem since it may involve taking apart the transmission or parts related to the transmission which takes lots of time and they will charge you for that time. |

I'm guessing it's caused by either old ladies drag racing or it's normal. I'm leaning toward normal. |
