My 1999 honda accord lx 4 door sedan has a problem that my dealership
cannot fix.
The problem is that when the vehicle is hot after being driven about 20
miles the vehicle will not move in reverse unless first shifted into
neutral then back in reverse. it will then only move as long as the gas
pedal is pressed all the way. as soon as pressure is released a little the
vehicle stops as it the brakes has been applied. in order for the vehicle
to move backward the whole process must be started over. Has anyone
experienced this and what is a possible solution.

What's the mileage, and how many times have you tried doing a
drain-n-fill with Honda fluid?

Has it ever had non-Honda fluid in it?

Do a search through Google for all the tranny problems Honda had from about '96 through
2001. They offered extended warranty for I think 2001. My dealer wanted $1500 to replace
a '98 Accord with 50k miles. Walked in with 1/2" pile of print-outs of all the problems
they knew they had... Drove out with new tranny--- $0... A year ago....Good luck.
