Hi, I don't know much about cars, but let me try to explain the issue. I just bought a 2005 auto-V6 Accord with 53,000 miles on it. Everything's great, except after a day or two I noticed that something's not right with the downshifting. Whenever I'm coasting with my foot off the gas, the downshifting is very noticable not when it shifts, but sometimes when it goes to certain gears it will slow the car down like my foot's half-way on the brake incertain gears (I thinkit's when it goes from 3rd to 2nd but I have to pay attention more). When it shifts again, the car starts to coast normally. The RPM's don't go up though, so it doesn't seem like it's shifting into the wrong gear. I don't get it. It's really annoying, being that I'm coming from a 93 Lincoln Continental with 144,000 miles on it that ran smooth as hell.

Should I just hope it needs a fluid change, or does it sound like something else is wrong? It seems like more than fluid to me, since the shifting itself is not the problem. Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably not the tranny at all unless it's shifting into the wrong gear..... help!
