Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 honda accord v6 coupe with 108,000 miles. upon reaching around 104,000 miles, the transmission shifted abruptly at lower gears. had it flushed and the problem somewhat went away but the problem came back after 2 weeks. the abrupt shifting is more pronounced when i get stuck in a stop and go traffic. it doesn't do that when it's ran cold like in the morning. i'm taking it in to the dealer for computer diagnostics. i'm afraid they will tell me that i need a new or rebuilt transmission.*ak
