I'm looking at getting my mom a 92ish Accord (she's driving a 97 geo, it's actually a step up.) It's got typical rust and junk like that. But what really has me concerned is the transmission. It has

D4 is always lit up. No matter what gear you're in. The gear selected will also light up. The issue I'm having is that when you put the car in D4, it takes off in what I assume is 4th gear. When you drop it down into 2 or 1 it will take off in second. To get it to shift up, you've got to put it into D3 or D4. Which again, I believe skips third and bumps into fourth. I talked to someone who seems to think these vehicles had an issue with the shift solenoids? Which are 200 bucks a pop. Anyone have any experience with this? I've checked the fluid, it was a little low but I topped it off with no results. I've never had an automatic. Thanks for the help fellas.
