96 Honda Accord EX transmission jerky
96 honda accord EX has a major problem with the trans. The trans jerks between 30-40 mph every time no matter if is hot or cold. The car is lease and I going to turn it in in 30 days. Don't know what to do get a $2000.00 trans job or turn it in.. Any help appreciated.

The block problem was a hairline crack just under the head casket. As I said Honda did fix this even though it was out of warranty. The dealer said he had never seen anything like it before. Lucky Me!
It's best to use the Honda ATF in their cars.
I'd just trade the thing in and let the lease company or dealer worry about it.

You worked for AAMCO and have owned Toyotas. Hondas are different. I know a guy who owns a transmission shop in Albany and he stopped doing Honda transmissions years ago because they were so different/difficult to work on.
Honda has a history of making components tailored specifically for their own fluids ... power steering being a perfect example of this. They also sell a specialty fluid for the manual transmissions, etc ... It's NOT just the same old stuff with their name put on it. They have the fluids made to THEIR notoriously picky specifications.
To anyone who has an automatic-equipped Honda, I strongly recommend you use THEIR automatic transmission fluid.
