Delayed Shifting, Honda Transmission

My daughters 2003 Honda Element developed a delayed shift going into 3rd gear. The problem was intermittent.

In this video I walk you though the steps of my diagnosis and offer advice on what to do if your Honda isn’t shifting properly. I hope you find the information useful.

Thanks for watching!
