Our '06 Tribute exhibits very noticeable shift shock, especially when driving on a light foot. The shortage of gears (4AT) is very evident as it is very fond of upshifting (and suddenly roaring at 4000rpm) even with just a slight dip on the throttle. Our '05 Accord on the other hand has a very smooth tranny with almost imperceptible shifts. Gears (5 of them) are very well spread too. No unexpected upshifts here. Despite not having manual override, I hardly ever find myself wanting it.

Our A/T's hardly ever give us any trouble, besides having to replace the engine and transmission supports in the Tribute that is...
