I once owned a 93 Accord and I had similar problems--esp. on a grade.
Honda must have gotten a lot of complaints about this problem. I seem to
recall that about 1997--Honda started something new. It's called Grade
Logic Control. It's suppose to keep the transmission from switching gears
on grades. It does not always work.
