Skipping gears with this tranny is a BAD idea.

I think I skip occasionally, normally after i take it out of gear for a few though, just don't do it quick. If I drop a gear or two, I let it coast a bit. Dunno why, just feels better, heh

heh, I do that when I'm slowing down to a red light or turn. I've only skipped a gear a few times while putzing around and it should be fine as long as you take it out of gear first.

There are a lot of threads on this from the past. This one looks pretty good.

That is common for your year, change the fluid every 8-10k or with mtf from honda, it always made mine feel better.
