    Mine ended up going away when I swapped to Dakar springs in the rear. I’m still not sure if it was a messed up driveline angle or axle wrap but the problem went away when I put the new leaf springs in.

    Hmm. Mine had it with the factory rear leafs with a slight sag. Got new rear springs due to the tsb fix, got less sag, but nothing changed with the trans :/

    I totally have experienced this for awhile now! It’s usually in stop and go traffic during my commute. Nothing jarring or super hard but a noticeable almost hesitation or long shift or a noticeable shift but not even close to a “hard” shift. Almost feels if I’m accelerating from a dead stop and I barely hit the gas since we’re in trafffic it goes eeeeeeehhhhh——uhhh but it’s so light it’s not banging into gear. Weird because if I’m accelerating normally without having to come to a stop it’s buttery smooth. Then again I’m a technician at Honda and drain and fill my trans every 30k with oem type WS
