I'm new here. Great board!

Just bought a used 95' 850 GTL (non turbo)4 days ago. Couldn't resist the deal (1st owner, only 65K miles, all dealer records, great shape, no rust => $5.2K). I have been a honda fan, but it's not fun car to drive anymore. I really love the 850 look and ride!

Here we go... I just noticed today that I seem to have the same transmission problem you described, but no slipping on take-off yet (only the shift down, seems like it went to neutral 1-2 second right before I stop). The transmission oil looks clean and new (seem to be overfilled though, any issue?). It seems like the problem only happened after continuously driving for 30-40 mins.

I just did "ratchet cleaning" suggested on bay13. I will test drive it tomorrow. The PNP switch is on my list of things to do. Anyone try to change the PNP switch? What is the result? Please let me know! Thanks!
