2001 Honda Prelude Complaints

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. *TR

2001 HONDA PRELUDE SH, HAD A PREVIOUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 3 DAYS THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT ON THE VEHICLE 3 DAYS LATER, MAKING LOUD ANNOYING NOISES. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE CUTS OFF, WITHOUT WARNING, NO JERKING, NOTHING. THE DASH HAD THREE LIGHTS LIT AS WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION ON BEFORE YOU START THE CAR. THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE DIES. TAKING IT TO HONDA ON 8/7/07.*JB

BRAKES ARE STICKING AND CAUSING THE CAR TO VIBRATE AND EMIT A LOW HUMMING NOISE. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PULLED IT UP THE NOISE WENT AWAY. HONDA DEALERSHIPS HAD'CUT THE ROTORS THREE TIMES, WHICH WAS NOT IN ANY WAY NORMAL! THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO REFUSED TO FIX IT, BUT DIDN'T THE NEED TO CUT THE ROTORS THREE TIMES INDICATE A SERIOUS PROBLEM?*AK
