Why would my 2001 Honda Passport skip and hesitate when accelerating?

When I accelerate it hesitates to change gears and move .. Meanwhile there is skipping in the rear of the vehicle and then will suddenly jump into gear and kick forward.. I was told it could be a vacuum hose or a modulator valve. If so how do I know what it is without possibly taking it to the mechanic and costing too much money.. Could it be the transmission ??? Someone help?Why would my 2001 Honda Passport skip and hesitate when accelerating?
Get it diagnosed, that's an electronically controlled transmission so there shouldn't be a vacuum modulator valve on that transmission. Could be as simple as the filter is getting plugged, you could try draining the fluid, replacing the filter and refilling with fresh fluid. A place like Jiffy-Lube can do this too.Why would my 2001 Honda Passport skip and hesitate when accelerating?
Save yourself the money and time spent throwing parts at it and get it professionally diagnosed.
Sounds like your transmission. Look under the car for a hanging black vacuum hose.
