If it's an automatic (the transmission shifts for you and there isn't a
clutch pedal) get ready to find someone who can replace the transmission
with a rebuilt unit. Or you can get another '90 Accord for the same

I'm going with automatic,as a close read of the message reveals that"it
wanted to shift......".
I may be wrong. It has happened before, many years ago. bob
