Purchased the 2002 honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving I began to feel a slight jerk when I placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that I needed a transmission flush. After driving car I began to feel the slight jerk and over a year I recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that I am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that I need a new transmission.
