Jerky engagement is quite common on automatic transmissions - not just on Accords. Many times it is caused by sticky valves binding to the hydraulic passages. Reasons could be old tranny fuild that has developed varnish or some worn friction metarial getting stuck. If you are lucky a fluid and filter change will fix it. If not you can try adding some friction modified. Lubegard is an effective one. If all these do not work then the next thing would be to remove the valve body for cleaning. Another possibility is sticking pistons or damaged seals in the accumulator(s).
