I had a new timing belt installed in my 2002 Honda Accord LX , the car shifts rough, why?I've a 2002 Honda Accord LX with 122,000 miles. Yesterday, I had the timing belt, tensioiner belt, water pump, spark plugs, thermostat, ac/alternator belt, belt replaced. All the parts were bought from the Honda Dealer, except the spark plugs. The plugs were no different NGK platinum as the dealer however bought at Advance car Parts.After it was done, when I drive the auto, when the car shifts gears between 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm, it seems rough, similar to a drag/hesitation (like driving in a reduced gear on a mountain). I took it to one more mechanic, he felt the dilemma and said that new belts are put on 'tight' and it is certain to lossen up 1000+ miles.I took it to the dealer and he said he would need to open up the car to tell what is wrong. He could not feel the dilemma when driving. I told the dealer regarding the 'tight belt' opinion of the mechanic and he said no such thing existed.Assist! Do valve timings, tensioners have anything to carry out with this?Thank you!!!I've a 2002 Honda Accord LX with 122,000 miles.

Could the 'tension' be off?Thank you!!!Thank you all for your input. Here is the update. I took the car into another mechanic who said the timing was off. He redid the timing belt and found out that the belt was was off and there was a screw that was stripped. After fixing it, the dilemma is lessened but even now there.I've been googling again going crazy. I've been studying the symptoms attempting to provide you a better understanding, here are the symptomsSymptom:1. Rough Idle/high idle over 1000 rpm when starting2. Gears change aren't smooth, it seems gears are changing at a higher rpm, creating a deep sound (like driving in a reduced gear)3. VibrationGoogle suggests:1. Balance shaft difficulties2. Engine mount repair3. Transmission serviceI do not know why this began after the timing belt change? Can you comment on google suggestions?Read more on this topic Honda Accord timing belt question?My wife and I've Honda Accords, hers an '02 and mine an '04. I checked out the owner's guide, and it says not a thing about when to replace the timing belt on the 4 cylinder models, just the 6. The 4 cylinder models have timing belts, no?I think I ought to have utilized the term "drive belt" instead of "timing belt"Read more on this topic Transmission woes on the Honda Accord or is it the timing belt ?My honda accord v6 is approaching 80,000 miles and only got the 1st hint of trouble ever. On lower speeds if I depress the accelerator pedal, sometimes there's a delayed response and then a nasty jerk. I've heard of this dilemma in the model. What is it? Is it the timing belt? Or is the transmission going? Will need to finish up replacing the complete transmission ?Read more on this topic
