Tear down of a Honda transmission doesn't look terrible. Just a lot of parts to keep track of. Described as "just a manual that shifts automatically" by more than one person. I've gathered that the most likely problem is that the 2nd gear clutches have worn out and the filter is clogged with clutch friction material. Symptoms match what I'm experiencing and is common failure with Hondas. Tear down, new clutches, new seals, new filter, clean the valve body, looks meticulous but not impossible. Might give it a go.... can't really make matters worse. Allan On Sat, Jul 3, 2021, at 10:22 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: > Good feedback.
