I have a 2003 Honda element that shifts hard between 1st and 2nd gear. I tuned it up for a miss fire mode it didn't change anything. I changed the Transmission Fluid not knowing if someone had put the wrong fluid in it. the car only has 105k miles on it and I bought it with hope of getting a good car cheap. after tons of research I found two people that had replaced the throttle body. DONT CHANGE THE THROTTLE BODY yes it will most likely fix the problem but if you are mechanically incline you can go to ebay and get the throttle position sensor for about 17.00. it is adjustable so make sure that you adjust it with the correct idle. you will have to remove the throttle body to replace it due to the bolts that holds on the factory TPS does not have a head o0n them. you can either cut the TPS from the throttle body with side cuts so you can get to the bolts they will un screw just take vise grips remove them and go to autozone or a hardware store and get M5 .8mm bolts save an original bolt to match up the correct length. its not that bad and can save you tons of money.
