Tks.

Got it back today with a new transmission. The service Mgr was not
able to tell me exactly what was wrong, just that it wasn't right.
"one in a million" Said it was being sent back to Honda and that when
they got the report they would send a copy to me. That little
downshift event just prior to stopping is definatly gone. I'm fairly
impressed with the outcome since it didn't cost me anything. I guess
others that might see this and have CRVs should be aware that even
something that seems minor like this did to me, is worth having
checking into.
