    Hi,
    I've recently bought a 1991 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 16 valve. Its an
    automatic and it has one very annoying trait: between 60 and 80 mph
    backing off the throttle causes the torque convertor to unlock which
    makes the engine speed jump by about 200rpm. Applying pressure the
    pedal re-locks it and the revs drop again. At least I'm pretty sure
    its the torque converter, kick-down works fine.

    I think this transmission is used in other Honda models. Has anyone
    else experienced this or can give any advice? I took it to one garage
    but they didn't have a clue. I phoned the local Honda dealer but over
    the phone he couldn't speculate and I'm reluctant to write him a blank
    cheque to investigate.
    TIA

    Tim
