Our 2003 EX V6 transmission has been flawless for 30.000 miles. Unless Honda has gone backward, I would think your transmission should be the same.

Honda’s algorithm for shifting the transmission is pretty sophisticated and even includes a sensor for up-hill,down-hill. Probably you are just noticing the transmission downshifting which is a normal part of this algorithm. However, I am certainly not convinced that Honda has solved it’s transmission durability problems. Only time will tell. John

My new 2005 Civic EX does this too. Never happened with the ‘04 CRV. It appears to me that if I am braking hard to slow down, the tranny will aggressively downshift to assist. I think it’s normal. Of course, the slip from 3rd to 4th that happens sometimes isn’t…

I just got a 2005 Accord EX V6 to replace my 2002, which had its transmission replaced last year. I am noticing some strange behavior from the new transmission, particularly a very noticable downshift when slowing down. No doubt I am sensitive to transmission issues due to the problems with my 2002. Has Honda finally fixed the transmission issues on the Accord, or are the latest models also susceptible?
