Im not sure if it is a problem or not because this is the first honda ive ever owned. When accelerating it seems as if the transmission shifts into 2nd gear when the Rpm's are at 3150Rpm's and its kind of rough or a lurch forward if you know what i mean. It doesnt slipp at all but it does seem rougher than it needs to be. It reminds me of a truck that has a shift kit in it, thats kinda what it feels like. I dont think that it has a shift kit but i couldnt be certain. If anyone has an opinion let me know
