Post subject: my automatic transmission starts out in 4th gear
The 4 speed automatic transmission in my 92 Accord starts out in 4th gear and has no passing gear "kick down". If I manually shift from 1st thru 2nd, 3rd, and into 4th, it runs fine. I just replaced the original transmission with 330k on it, which began doing the same thing and then died. The one I just installed came out of a car with 170k on it. Has anyone else experienced this? Can this be caused from a sensor or trnsmission control unit or does something need reprogramming? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any flashing lights on the dashboard? Any flashing lights on the transmission
control unit itself when you switch the ignition to on? (I think you'll have to
pull back the carpet under the dash where the passenger's toes would be to see
it.) The number of flashes of that LED tells you where the control unit thinks
the problem is.
