transmission symptoms in old Honda Accord

[frankg]

For a '91 Accord automatic, what is likely the first few symptoms when
the transmission is starting to go? And based on this "S" dash light,
when it flashes irregularly does this mean a bad transmission or bad
transmission control unit?

I would guess that the first symtom would be the gears not changing the
way they are suppose to change. Another symtom would be grinding sounds
coming from the transmission.
