zoltron30 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 sigh.... hi guys i took my 2001 accord to my mechanic and they pulled the accelerator cable to fix a problem with my gas pedal sticking now when i accelarate i notice the rpm needle is very high and my car takes a while to accelerate. it seems to almost stutter. it happens after i stop, then accelerate. my mechanic said it was the transmission, which i replaced in 06 and i never had the problem before i went to my mechanic. i had transmission problems before but honda installed another transmission...... any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sounds to me like it could be the speed sensor. Is yours I4 or V6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 My guess since you just replaced your tranny that it isn't the problem in your I4 unless you got a bad one to begin with. I'm sure there's a sure fire way to tell if it is your transmission, but I don't know it (I have the 5-speed). Does it only stutter like that when you are first starting out, or is it through all 4 gears? Long story short, I don't think I'd jump to the conclusion of a bad tranny, especially if it seems to be the result of the shop you just had it at.
