The 4T60-E transmission in your car means this:
4=Number of Gears
T=Transverse mounted transmission
60=torque holding capacity (probably 260 or 280 torque)
E=Electronically controlled
It does away with the TV cable (throttle valve) which was used to adjust the line pressures for holding pressure during gear shifts and under load. Now it is electronically controlled in relation to sensor data. It has an est. 0-60mph of 7.5 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 15.8@89.1mph. those are pretty good numbers if you ask me.
anyway on to your question, IT sounds like your 3-4 gear servo is giving out. It might have bad seals on it too, but they should be inexpensive. The servo on my trucks 4L60-E was easy to get too, but it was longitudinally mounted and everything was well laid out. But i know of these 2 things can cause the issue. While your at it get the 1-2 servo and seals checked while your at it.

this at least gives me a dirrection to look in between the electronics and the servos. My dads eyes lit up when i told him some one talked about a short being the problem and then told me that he has had smoke come up from the dash so that is a big posibility. The servo thing sounds real close though...ill check it out, purchase a haynes, and get to work
ill keep you all updated and might as well throw some pics up this weekend too..
my birthday is saturday...turning 18 and im getting a cannon slr...and this car lol...im gunna see if i can get it fixed and either sell or trade for a eg hatch.

RE: I know this is a HONDA forum
Glad that my GM experience can come in handy on this forum. Most of my experience as a mechanic comes from GM and Ford vehicles. I got a crash course in Honda's once i bought mine and started building it. Hope that it's not an expensive fix for you.
