WOW, only 400,000 miles? What are you complaining about exactly? No, seriously, I'm sorry, but, it's way past time don't you think that you should consider a new or later model car? Sounds like the transmission is gone . And, the cost for repairing or replacing it is so much money, you're better off investing this into a different car. I had a 1995 Homes Accord, great car. You certainly went further than I did. Congratulations on getting this kind of service.

Wait, just re-read your post, are you saying it shifts normally , but just dies at intersections?? Could be the harmonic balancer?? If this is the case, YES, check it out.... Good luck.
