I have a honda I bought and have a question or 2 first off
is the engine shakeing so violent now I know older honda's do shake some but it seems like its shakeing more than it should I went to get it smoged and they told me to check the engine mount but the only one I can see is the front one and it looks fine 2nd is it bad if it takes 3,000rpm for my car to shift into 2nd gear? And 3rd is how can I tell if my a/c is working correctly

Does the transmission only shift when it hits 3K even if you are light on the throttle? As far as the ac, is it working at all?

Correction its shifting into 3rd that takes up to 3,000 rpm took it to honda they told me the oil smelled burnt going to try for a flush the guy at autozone told me to put in regular oil for a bit to clean it out then change to import oil. My second thought is the previous owners screwed with the ecu and im thinking that may help the lack of power at 15mph constant. And the ac is cold to me but I cant tell its ben in the 60's around here no real reason to use it but california summers are hot so I was asking how you can tell if it work
