My transmission isn't shifting correctly. It's an automatic. Seems to shift/run fine if I manually shift through gears. The speedometer also started jumping all over the place when this first occurred, as well as the engine rpms revving up from time to time. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, this is a common problem on the Honda's of this vintage. The VSS Vehicle speed sensor has a connector that stands straight up (located on the transmission under the throttle body) and if any kind of water or fluids drip on the sensor it collects in the connector and starts to corrode the pin in the VSS. Disconnect the connector and clean out both the sensor connector and the wiring harness connector with brake cleaner, check the pins for green corrosion and reconnect and recheck operation if still a problem you will need to replace the VSS.

Im guessing this is all related, Look on carcomplaints.com this is apparently a problem over all with the honda accord for poor quality transmissions From 97 to 2011 there are over 5 thousand complaints from all over the place, some years like the 08 and 07 the 96 had only eight complaints so from the standpoint there are a hundred thousand 96 hondas sounds like not all of them were a problem, still at some point you will need to get yours fixed, what ever you do, do not go to aamco, there are thousands of comlaints in almost every state, and attorney generalls in many states have filed suit on behalf of consumers
