Hello, Group:

I have more information on my problems with my Accord. After taking
it to the repair shop to have the O2 sensors and the CAT replaced, the
car seems to have transmission problems.

Symptom: Moving the car between gears causes a jerk. When I'm idle
and go to accelerate the car jerks, sometimes very hard.

Drain-n-fill with HONDA Z1 ATF , no substitutes, no additives, no 'power
flushing'.

Profile: 1998 Honda accord 4-CYL w/ 225K (transmission 75K)

Ok, I did the Drain-n-fill with the recommended fluid (bought at Honda
for 7.3/qt.), and now the car is running more smoothly. This
transmission is a replacement with approximately 75K miles traveled.
The car now has 225K miles on it.

The transmission still jitters a little bit when accelerating after
slowing down. E.g., if I perform a "California-stop" and begin to
accelerate, the car jitters a little bit, but definitely not as bad as
before the transmission fluid change.

What should I be expecting from my Honda in the next couple hundred
thousand miles?

Regards,
