The tranny behavior seems very concerning to me. High revs without acceleration generally means it's slipping. Are there certain gears that slip and others that don't? All gears slipping? It may be worn clutches, a failing pump, or clogged filter/valve body... Try taking it to a shop that specializes in either Hondas or transmissions.

My brother owns a transmission repair shop and has mentioned that Honda's 90s era autos provide regular work for him. Those and Jeep Cherokees.

There is very little power up to 45 MPH. past that it seems to act normal.
The "kids" that worked on my car said that the transmission was fine and that it wasn't slipping.
When I say very little power, I mean that 0-60 stock was like 12 seconds and now it feels like 20 something, so it's not drastic, but I can certainly notice it.
I think I just need to find the guys at that shop that I have dealt with in the past ( the honest ones ) and ask them if they could reanalyze it since the car still has the same problem.
