I have a 99 Honda CRV with 102000 miles on it. I have noticed that when going p a hill or with the 5 passengers the car is having a hard time to change the 2nd speed. The engine goes up to 4000 rpm before it changes and very often don’t even changes. I took the car to a transmission shop with the idea that my transmmission was the problem but they said , it itsn’t . That I should make a tune up to the car because the problem was the engine and not the transmission.
Transmision do not change fron 1st to the 2nd speed
Yes, check the engine tune. Is the CEL on? A plugged up exhaust (for whatever reason) can also sap power…

And how many transmission fluid changes so far? If that is original fluid in there, then … Next time change the fluid more often. No flushes, just a change with dripping the pan and cleaning the filter.
That said I agree that the general condition of the car needs to be checked. Caddyman’s advice should be followed.
