Thanks for all the reply,
I live in MI so lot of salt on road.
The car has 150000 miles....
i showed it two transmission shops and they both said it need to be
rebuilt.
I am still driving the car,
It works fine in all gears except only when moving from 1st to 2nd gear
and 2nd to 3rd gear the RPM goes to 4-5000.
The last time fluid was changed was 10k miles back at honda shop.
Currently the trans fluid is clean, transparent but gives a burnt
smell.
I am planning to rebuilt the car (mechanic is giving 12month/12k miles
warantty).
Any thoughts...
