I have a 2003 Honda accord but been having transmission problems 2nd and 3rd gear arnt shifting properly sometimes they do sometimes they don’t and everytime I put the car into reverse the engine jerks does anybody know what would cause this???

 

Try a bottle or can of trans fix.

 

I have tried that and it did nothing seems like it got worse after

 

Do you have a pressure gauge?

 

Unfortunately I don’t but the code that came up when I scanned the car was p0741 which is torque converter clutch solenoid circuit performance stuck off it says do you know what that means? I’m new to Honda so I’m just learning
