@04Accord. I would ask what you hope to accomplish by shifting it yourself? The power train engineers at Honda spent a great deal of time and effort programming the PCM to ensure automatic shifting at the optimum times. I would take advantage of that.
I hope you don’t mean not among the living. He should be down in a little town in Georgia so maybe someone can drive by there and ask him to come back?
I vaguely recall trying to find him on the Internet several years ago and I think I came up with a name and an obituary. I hope I’m wrong.
That would be sad. Transman was a great contributor to the forum.
He had a couple cute kids too and I think posted their picture once. Can’t remember the town he was in but think it was north of Atlanta. Maybe if I looked at a map, but then I don’t know his name except prolly the only transmission shop in town.
