I am hearing a winding sound when down shifting and also high rpm's in the 5 range fast acceleration. The blinking drive life last until I turn the car off and hasn’t come back on since but something feels off. Thank you for any help.

Hey JESSEB123,

Just to clarify your Honda has an automatic transmission or manual?
