#51 of 60 Re: 91 HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSION LEAK [civic91] by kiawah Nov 13, 2007 (4:35 pm)
Replying to: civic91 (Nov 13, 2007 3:01 pm) Well if you are going to try and diagnose this yourself, you're going to need to get under the car and see where it is leaking.   How is it that you know this is transmission fluid?
#52 of 60 Auto shift lever stuck! by cam2003 Dec 05, 2007 (7:48 pm)
I almost could not move the shift lever back from R to Park or N twice today. I had to use a lot of force to put it back to Park. It seemed to stuck inside the transmission gear box (Brake pedal and release button were fully pressed). I bought this 96 CIVIC last month, I did notice the gear selection was not smooth. I had lubricated inside gear lever box, but it did not help. Even with engine off, insert key in shift lock and push down it, very hard to move shift lever from P to R-N. I am afraid one day, I would be able to drive in reverse only. Any helps to identify the problem/fix would be greatly appreciated

I recently bought a used Honda Civic 2003 LX coupe which has 56k miles on it. I have been driving it for th past 6 months and now I have run into a problem.

Replying to: iwara96 (Feb 04, 2008 6:51 am) Just so I'm clear.   When you first start the car and engine and transmission are cold, the tranny engages and acclerates normally. But once you've driven for awhile and everything is warmed up, it slips (that is, if you press the accelerator, the engine rpm's go up, but the car itself does not accelerate forward).   Is that correct?   If so, I'm sorry to say I agree with your mechanic, it sounds like your drive gears are essentially burned out. The remedy would be to re-build the existing transmission, or replace it with a used or a new one.   Either way, continuing to drive it will only make it worse, so I'd take it in to a transmission shop or Honda dealer a.s.a.p. and get a definitive diagnosis.   P.S. if your reverse was out as well, I'd say you may get by with just a fluid and filter change. Sometimes enough water can condense over time in the fluid to cause slippage when hot, but usually then it's any gear. The fact that your reverse gear is fine makes me believe that this is not something simple like bad fluid, a plugged filter or such.
#55 of 60 2002 Honda Civic 1.7 L Problem with cold drive away by tonfamily Mar 31, 2008 (6:03 pm)
Hello, I don't know if the problem is the engine or the auto transmission but when the engine is cold and I try to drive it, the car will go for about 200' or so, then the RPM will quickly drop to very low (almost stall) and I can't even rev up the engine unless I slip the gear into "N". The engine then rev up right away and everything is back to normal and the car is ok to drive until I start out on a cold engine again. If I let the engine idle and warm up before driving then it works fine. It has been like this for over 6 months now. I thought the transmission fluid was dirty so I changed the transmission fluid for three time already...still didn't make any difference. The car has only 60K mikes. Please advise. Thanks.

#56 of 60 96 Civic Auto Trans Problem by jerrydupek Apr 01, 2008 (11:41 am)
Hi guys, I have a 96 Honda Civic DX with Auto Trans. I'm the original owner. This car was wonderful to me, never ever any problems (except for one I will describe below). The car never stopped, never failed starting, never broke down! I recently bought a new CRV. My neighbor would like to buy my Civic for his young son. However, for the last few months of my driving of this Civic, it was making small grinding noise when accelerating in about 36-40mph. Anything below that speed and above would not make any noise. It also does not make any noise within that 36-40 speed when it is cold. It seems to me like a transmission problem. I can fix anything including engines, but not automatic transmissions. What do you guys think about this problem? Would this require complete overhaul/rebuild? Honestly, I want to sell this car to my neighbor for a very little price, only because it's a nice family that I know does not have much money. If I could get someone to fix it for me for couple hundred dollars I would do it, since I hate to sell the car with this problem. I know he won't be able to afford major repairs. Could anyone help in troubleshooting this? Or maybe even looking at this problem in MA area? Thank you, Jerold

My 97 civic auto trans. went out. It has the 1.6L vtec. Will only a vtec trans work or will a base trans work?

Replying to: tonfamily (Mar 31, 2008 6:03 pm) Hi Tonfamily,   I have a 2002 Civic LX Automatic, with the D17A2 motor. I just started experiencing this issue as well. Were you able to find a fix?   Here is some background on my car:   Prior to experiencing the issue you described, my Civic displayed a CEL with a diagnostic code of P0420. I removed the exhaust manifold/cat and replaced it with a DC Sports header, Random Technologies Cat, and Magnaflow muffler. As well, I installed a AEM V2 Cold Air Intake. I did this because the performance dropped to less than half (making me convinced that the cat was plugged).   During my cold air intake installation, I separated the electrical harness that held the connections between motor and:   Idle Air Control MAP Sensor and another sensor that is adjacent to the MAP sensor.   The reason for me doing this was because the IAC sensor could not reach the new/higher grommet hole in the cold air intake.   I've noticed depreciated gas mileage and recently was a quart low on synthetic oil after 4000 miles. Today, I had the oil changed and flushed the coolant. The tempurature runs between 190-206 degrees.   One thing I noticed is that when the car is cold, my timing is advanced between 6-11 degrees. After warm-up, my timing is 0 degrees BTDC. The MAP sensor shows a slight drop before the car warms up. Cold at idle varies from 6 to 9 inches of Mercury. Warm is steady at 9.   -John
