need some advice! driving car 1000 miles

The lock-up feels a bit like the transmission is shifting, but it's a lot weaker than an actual shift.
Right about the ATF - you can only drain about 1/3 of the total fluid each time.
Get down in front of the right-front tire, looking under the car, towards the centerline of the car. The transmission drain plug has a square hole that accepts a 3/8 socket extension without any socket. Re-fill through the dipstick hole.
Honda ATF (not Dexron or not generic) a bit less than 3 quarts per drain/fill. After filling, check dipstick level with the car all warmed up but turned OFF. That's different than most other car companies who want you to check with the engine idling.

Yeah, but judge the real need by how dirty the fluid comes out. I can't see it from here... For all I know it's so dirty you'll need 4x or 5x. Or not.
Drive around inbetween, even going a week or 2 inbetween. I'd go far more than just around the block.
The 3x changes are a pain, so once it's clean, it's best to establish an ATF-change interval that doesn't allow it to get real dirty anyway.
