2002 Accord automatic transmission shifting problem.

[highland145]

Starting off, it shifts fine. Doing 10mph or more and get on the gas, it shifts fine. If you slow down to 2 or 3MPH and get on the gas, it shudders like a manual would if you're in the wrong gear. So google and youtube have led me to think the shift solenoid filters might be dirty. Link.

$15 for a new gasket and o rings plus several hours of cussing....

Thought, opinions, take it to a mechanic....Thanks.

edit: I would think that if the solenoid was bad, it wouldn't shift at all.
