Ok. I will do as advised.
But first, I browsed online for fix to similar issue and I read some say to change alternator and some others saying shaft sensor. Another saying to check ECU.
Please, could it be any of these? I don't wanna change gear box and still face same issue... Gear box I hear it's almost 100k... Wedding is around the corner so that money na big money and I will be needing this ride for serious commuting. cry

you can also scan the transmission for any code, you have been using the wrong fluid for that gear. Try what i told you before, if luck is by your side, you transmission will work Properly again.

How did you skip "change gear oil" and fixate on "change gear box" That's why kazeems take advantage of people. you come ready with the mentality of spending a lot for something when there may well be a simple solution.

Do not panic. That problem is peculiar to 2003 Honda Accord. I owned one and experienced this issue; exactly as you described and it was not the gear box. I thought it was gear box but it wasn't.

Also, I thought it was the alternator but it wasn't.

However, it was the shaft sensor. In my case, I changed the shaft and it was about 20k plus and I enjoyed.

I am sure that when this issue you experience happens, the check engine light is always on and it consumes more petrol?

Trust me, your problem na the shaft.
