#795 of 864 Re: What the the maintainance schedule for the transmission fluid on 06 Civic? [lostmonkey] by jaxs1 Mar 18, 2007 (9:04 am)
Replying to: lostmonkey (Mar 17, 2007 7:45 pm) How did you come up with 20,000 miles? I have never heard of any modern car that needs automatic transmission fluid changes every 20000 miles.   The schedule definitely is in the manual.
#796 of 864 Manual by sandman46 Mar 18, 2007 (9:52 am)
Definitely read what the manual says about the tranny fluid drain & refill time period. 20k miles seems way to short of a time interval for a fluid swap. 60k or even 75k seems more like it, but I also have not read that part of my owners manual. With only 6239 on the odo now, I've got a looonnnnnggggg time to have to think about this issue.   The Sandman

Replying to: bd21 (Mar 10, 2003 4:48 pm) My wife's Civic LX 4-door 2002 needs new brake pads. I am going to replace them but I need a suggestion about the pads. Which are the best pads in $40-50 range? Any brand that is better then others? Any specific place to buy (online or store)?

Replying to: imm1962 (Mar 25, 2007 5:31 am) I would actually recommend going to the Honda dealer and buying the OEM pads. They cost about $60 for a set, but they will probably last the longest out of anything you could buy at the auto parts store. I got 64k out of my first set of pads on my civic.

Replying to: wsustudent (Mar 25, 2007 6:32 am) Pads of better quality than OEM probably exist, but since he is shopping in such a narrow price range, I'm not sure he will find them. Everything OEM is not automatically the top quality available. The car manufacturers have costs they have to stay within also.

Replying to: imm1962 (Mar 25, 2007 5:31 am) I am sure there are many other places, but I liked the illustrated parts break down format on this site.   http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&cat- - cgry1=Civic&catcgry2=2004&catcgry3=4DR+DXVP+VALUE+PKG&catcgry4=KA4AT&catcgry5=FR- - ONT+BRAKE   I do not have the shop technical manual in front of me, but you should measure the rotors, to see if they meet the specification for the project life of the new pads and (old) rotors given your actual use. Upshot is you might not get away as cheap (at 60 dollars) as you had planned. But this is no place to scrimp. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 25, 2007 8:58 am)

#802 of 864 Re: Glovebox Noise [sandman46] by mck76 Mar 27, 2007 (1:29 pm)
Replying to: sandman46 (Oct 01, 2006 7:39 am) I have a 2006 Civic EX I got it in 09/06 since the purchase I have been very satisfied with the car no real issues, except one. When ever I would go over a bump in the road there was a knocking noise on the passanger side behind the glove box. I took it to the dealer and they thought I was crazy the car only has about 4500 miles. Anyway, I finally got one of the mechanics to go on a ride along with me to show him the noise. Upon further review it turns out that the some of the 06 civics have faulty engine mounts that need to be repaired. The dealer told me that there is a TSB about this issue but I have not been able to find it. Hope that this helps others with the same issues.
#803 of 864 2001 Civic Service light by jodar96 Apr 08, 2007 (6:19 am)
Does anyone know where the reset button is located?   Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: wsustudent (Apr 08, 2007 1:40 pm)

Replying to: jodar96 (Apr 08, 2007 6:19 am) It is illustrated in your owners manual on this procedure for future reference   Anyhow this is what you do...   With the key off hold down the trip reset button on the gauge cluster.   While holding down the trip reset button turn the key to the ii. position (on), but do not start.   The light should go off in about 10 seconds. Then you can let go of the trip reset button and you're all set for another 10000 miles.
