This problem seems to have just started happening over the last couple of weeks. I changed the tranny fluid 2 years and 18,000 miles ago, using only the Honda fluid and additive from the dealership. I did not do the drain/refill 3 times procedure, instead I just drained and refilled once. The current fluid level is good, and does not smell or look burned. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your vacuum modulator (affects 1-2 upshift) is sucking air...find the supply line (large vacuum line running from the intake manifold to the modulator, near the tranny pan)
If either end is deteriorated, replace it. Pull the tranny end of the line off the modulator, and see if there's any oily residue or fluid drips...if so, the modulator's diaphragm is holed, replace the unit. Very simple, R+R operation, just remove, replace, and refill fluid, and you'll be set..
