My front wheel drive 2001 accord has 135,000 miles. Within the last year it had engine 2 engine mounts replaced.

Last night I was getting off the highway and noticed when it downshifted into 1st it lurched forward. It did this a few times after getting off the highway. Then when I tried to accelerate it revved up and shifted hard.

I took it easy on the car the rest of the way home and didn't notice the same behavior.

What could this be?

 

what engine mounts did you replace? the thrust mount? did it come loose?

 

Let us know if it's a 4-cyl or V-6. Those are SO VERY DIFFERENT from each other that sometimes I wish they weren't both called Accord.
