| When starting my 2001 honda prelude, putting into d4 (auto transmission) and beginning to drive, it would hit 3 rpm and not automatically shift. after hitting 3 rpm, it would rev up to 5 rpm before jerking into gear. this happens each time i first drive my car after it had been sitting, unless allowing it 10-15 minutes to completely warm up. if 2nd gear did happen to engage, it would have to rev and jerk into 3rd gear. i have taken it a few times to the auto shop although the transmission fluid levels remained fine and no other indication of a blown transmission was found. | |||

| While driving down the freeway last year, i heard a screeching noise under the hood of my 2001 honda prelude. about approximately 10 seconds later i heard something fall onto the street and very hot air began blowing out my air conditioner (which up until that point was blowing very cold air). it turns out that the air conditioner clutch pulley fell off my car and i have been told that this is a manufacturer defect by honda. they seem not to care and thus refuse to fix it. i reside in arizona where temperatures reach 110 plus in the summer. i have reported this problem to north american honda in the hopes that some resolution could be resolved, but nothing has been done to correct. air condition pulleys do not just fall off a vehicle! *nm | |||
