Thanks Andyman, I'll have to study the shop manual to see how this trans operates and how it is controlled. A switch on the dash to disengage lockup would be a help, but the overrunning clutch is the tidy solution.

Apgrok1 the noise is almost exactly like when doing a bad gear shift on a non-syncromesh transmission, like a model A or a farm tractor. I suppose I could be mistaken though as modern 5 speed transmissions are pretty complicated.

I'll study the Honda shop manual some more for some good ideas. Thank you all for your help and insight.
