This has been going on intermittently for a few months. I have an 07 sport with 95k miles. The issue has gotten increasingly worse over the last 6 weeks.

When I turn it on in the morning and either put it in R or D, the whole car starts shaking and when I start to push the gas pedal it's like an empty second where nothing happens. It's like it has a hard time getting into gear. Once I get going, it's fine for the rest of the day.

The last couple days there's been a loud screeching noise as soon as I turn the keys in the ignition. Could it be that a belt is slipping and needs to be replaced?

I've seen lots of threads about coils - does this sound familiar? Or would this be a transmission issue? I'm taking it into a Honda dealer tomorrow and want to educate myself before they gouge me for 6 hours of diagnosis labor.

 

have u drain transmission? before

and yes ur belts are probably bad look for shiny spots for slipping and cracks for damage change asap

 

Yeah, just had the transmission fluid exchanged within the last 25k miles. It wasn't that long ago. I drive 30k miles per year.
