Transmission Problems

[HardcoreRobot]

1998 Accord V6, just over 100k. Terrible shuddering/jerking when shifting gears at low speeds & occasionally very slow to upshift. My googlefu is failing me hard, can anyone help me figure out how much I might be looking at to fix this in worst case scenario?

Torque Converter? Is there enough transmission fluid?

Glass transmission failing, see if Honda will fix it or pay for rebuild.

Over 100k I doubt Hinda will help, even though Honda does have known Auto trans issues.

Start with a drain and fill and see if that helps.

Yeah im a car noob so it may be something different and im just assuming transmission. Sometimes it actually works just fine (it has always been a little rough shifting though). I plan to get it checked out by a professional but trying to prepare and educate myself first.

I assume transmission fluid OK, but I don't think it has been looked at since my last oil change (and who knows if they really did...)

Just because of the reputation of Honda automatic trans around that time frame, I'd say you are probably looking @ some big repairs, but as always, get a diagnosis from a pro.
