Rough shiftings can simply be the results of torn transmission mounts.
Check to make sure they are OK. Then check the fluid, drain and refill
if needed. Since your Accord is a 2000 model, you should use Honda Z1
ATF.
But if the rough shiftings come along with a harsh downshift to first
gear (when coasting to a stop) and the lockup clutch cycling (on and
off at cruising speed)
then the torque converter is defective.
