Helpful Websites About 2002 Honda Accord shakes when downshifting

This was my first Honda experience on a 2002 Honda Accord. It has 136,000 miles and the transmission shakes as it downshifts into 1st gear approaching a stop. I contacted the Honda national customer service number and asked for a goodwill repair but got no satisfaction. This is my first and last experience with a Honda.

The problem only shows after driving over 80 MPH for more than a half hour and then pulling off the freeway onto surface streets the engine will rev while shifting between first and second and then jerk into gear. Once the car is turned off and cools down, it will drive fine until it is driven at high speeds for over a half hour again.
Update from Nov 10, 2009: I notified Honda of America (800) 999-1009, who told me to bring the car in to one of their certified repair shops. The Honda repair shop communicated with Honda of America regarding my complaint and I think because the car was in such good condition, and low milage (64,000 miles) for being a 2002 they agreed to my request of paying for half of the repair, in the ballpark of just over $1,500. I am very happy with this result and will stick with the brand.
