Is there a way to reduce the torque/idle shaking created by the auto tranny when the car is stopped (such as at a traffic light) and running? I find I can reduce the tension by putting the shifter in park or neutral during the stop. But, is there a permanent solution for this? (Besides swapping the auto tran for manual.) I keep being told "that's just how the old Honda's with auto trans operate. I can't imagine anyone would have bought these new way back when, with this issue.
Other than that, I LOVE my little Honda!
TIA ~ Laurie

That is usually an indication of worn out or fatigued motor mounts. It is the mounts job to absorb that vibration before it gets to the body.

We've replaced the motor mounts. Had the same issue on a 1988 Accord DX. It doesn't seem to be caused by the motor mounts, but it certainly is hard on them, as we had to replace mounts on the 88 also.

If the mounts are new and vibration is still being transmitted to the body, then it has to be traveling through something else. Look for any place that the engine can be grounding out on the frame or body, especially the exhaust system.
