trans slipping

The transmission on my 93 accord is slipping when i try to give it some gas it just revs up or it wont shift out of the gear that it is in. When i try to go up hills the motor starts to jump when i try to give it a little gas it bogs down then jumps up like i stomp on the gas except it does it really quick. Do u think it could be the tcm or the shift cylonoid

Solenoids and TCU's usually don't cause slippage and dropping out of gear...usually more along the line of skipping gears or stuck in wrong range...

Check the detent cable (cable from throttle body to tranny valve body) if it has one (I don't know on a '93)...detent cable misadjustment or breakage can make them do crazy stuff, and not react correctly to throttle input...

Cable is on underside of tranny, the end of the cable is covered by a plate with a couple of bolts in it.

I need some help!

I have a 2002 Honda Accord. I have had no problems with my Accord and have done all of the regular maintenance from the beginning. However, about a month ago I took my car in for regular maintenance to get the timing belt, other belts, and water pump maintenanced. I'm around 127,000 miles, so it was time. Up to that point, my car drove perfectly.

I plan to take my car back to the dealership, but I want to be knowledgable about what's going on. Am I being taken for a ride?

Here's the exact timeline:

Prior to 1/9/08: Car drove perfectly!

1/9/08 (126,576 miles): Took car to dealership for regular maintenance to have timing belt, water pump, drive belts, balancer belt, balancer shaft seal, and coolant replaced. Also, cleaned throttle plate and body as throttle had been sticking. Slipping transmission problem started on the next cold start when going from 1st to 2nd gear. However, didn't really know what the problem might be and thought it might be a fluke. I called some other mechanics and they couldn't imagine a transmission problem developing that quickly, as those types of problems usually developed over a long period of time.

1/22/08 (127,526 miles): Took car back to dealership. Told them how the car was acting on a cold start. They stated the fluid was dark and low. And that I needed to change the fluid and might have bigger issues with my transmission. However, they also stated they where unable to replicate the problem while my car was there all day long. The dealership told me it must have been coincidence that it started the same day they did the other service.

1/25/08 (127,698 miles): Took my car back to the dealership for the transmission fluid flush. Chose to use them because they were the only ones that used the Honda fluid and I did not want to create any other problems by using one of the other kinds. Got car back but still had problems feeling the transmission slip on cold starts.

2/1/08 to 2/8/08: Was out of town. Didn't drive car.

2/9/08: Noticed leak that was almost a foot in diameter. Orignally thought it was an oil leak but when I took it to be checked by the people who do my oil changes, I found out it was a transmission fluid leak and that it had leaked almost half the fluid out. I did not have a fluid leak until I had the transmission flush on the 25th.

Help? Is this a little quick for such major transmission problems to develop? This started only a month ago and has went this far. The one thing that really bothers me is that my problems from above start each time I go to the dealership. But I can't pinpoint how this might be happening, since originally they did no work on the transmission.

Redlight 7, from where is the transmission fluid leaking?

I'm not sure where the exact leak is. I am planning to take my car in tomorrow morning to have it checked out, but I was hoping to be a little more educated by then.

I was wondering...could there be any link between them cleaning my throttle and the beginning of my transmission problems?
