Check the lower gear selector solenoid pair, It is easy to remove and clean. Front right passengers side of automatic tranny, 96 to 2002 Civics and Accords and CRV. Whack it on its face a few times and blow it out with a compressor. Use a pencil and a rag to keep from losing all your fluid when you take it off. Check the sound of the click with a 12 volt battery. Sometimes the solenoids get stuck if the fluid gets varnished or if it sits too long. The upper solenoid pair is not so touchy. Bottom solenoid will sometimes prevent starting out in first and will go straight to 2nd or 3rd from start. Also some creep in neutral.

It could be the computer, or the speed sensor. The speed sensor will control the speedometer, and tells the transmission at what speed to shift.
If it is the Transmission computer module (TCM/TCU) it will be located under the passenger side foot rest. Just pull the carpet back, and remove the steel panel cover using a deep 10mm socket. The TCM is usually the one on the left, but sometimes on the right. It will be the smaller of the 2 coputers. The other, is the Engine computer. When you locate the TCM, you only have to sets of wires that just snap in. Unsnap them, and you can take the cover of the TCM off with just a phillips head screw driver, and look to see if anything looks burnt out one the circuit board. If see something that looks burned, that is your problem, and will need a new one. It took me about 30 mins if that, to locate the TCM, remove it, and replace it.
If it is the Speed Sensor, you can find one online for about $21.00 at eparts.com Best of luck to you, and hope it helps. If you have anymore questions e-mail me at [email protected]
