I need assistance in diagnosing my car problem. I am afraid to go to a dealership. Recently, I have discovered that my car requires at least a 15 minute warm up. If I don't warm my car up for a least 15 minutes, when I shift my gears to move, it is a hard shift. When I actually move, the car is very slugglish and hesitant. It feels as if it is trying to pull back. I have already taken it to AAMCO in VA and they said my transmission is okay. On two occassions, it has died during a drive. My car just shuts down! Luckily, I have been able to pull over in time. The restart is easy and I continue on my route. I am so scared that I will get into an accident one day because of this. I love my Honda. I can't afford another one. I have had it since 2002 and have always kept up my oil changes and tune ups. In April of 2007, I did have my transmission flushed. What is my car's problem?
