1989 Honda Accord Front Wheel Drive Automatic a lot miles

Our 89 Honda Accord LXI isn't shifting right. When it's cold it shifts fine. Once it gets warmed up it starts to slip in and out of gear. The rpm shoots way up for no apparent reason and eventually it won't go into any gear and I have to shut it off. I can turn the car off and then back on and it shifts into all the gears just fine for a little while and then they start slipping again. Already checked the tranny fluid and it's good. Shifter isn't loose or sloppy. Could it have something to do with the cars computer? Since it seems like everything resets after I shut it off and restart. How do I troubleshoot this?

Hi harbormom4,

Transmission is not controlled by computer. Symptoms indicates either you have insufficient fluid or the strainer is clogged.

Strainer cannot be replaced unless the trans is disassembled.
