Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. After doing research on the 2001 honda accord transmissions. I'm not the only one that has this problem.

I showed her all the problems that honda had and she decided to buy something else. Shame on honda…

I really love my honda accords. I have owned several. This is the first one i have owned with over 125k miles. It was given to me by my mother-in-law. She owned it for about 7 years. It start to seem like it was a little off mechanically. She didn't know what the issues were and after 7 years she didn't want to put a ton of money into it. So she parked this one and bought a new one. It was parked for about 5 months…
