Replying to: xmontx (Apr 02, 2007 1:33 pm) This is a known problem on Civic Si's (and on RSX's with 6spd) that Honda won't acknowledge....very disappointing. see http://blogs.edmunds.com/?14/roadtests/558   Lemon law?
#33 of 80 Transmission engageing strange. Automatic. by amunity Aug 23, 2007 (12:54 am)
I have a 2002 Civic EX Coupe with automatic transmission. About 55k miles.   When started with the egnine totaly cooled and accelerate somewhat hard the car will suddenly change gears and jump forward. I have never had it slow down suddenly. It acts as if I suddenly floored it where it has always been smooth. After a while, about 5 minutes of driveing it will transfer gears normally. The typical rpm I drive it at is 3k-5k. When I bought the car at 42k miles it never did this, it started acting this way about 54k.   Also, when I do floor it, even after driveing it for a while, it takes about a second for it to jump rpm to high and jet forward. Shouldent it be that as soon as I floor it it jets forward? Instant response? It has always done this.   Thank you in advance for the help.

I HAVE A 92 HONDA DX THAT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND WILL NOT START. SOME ONE SUGGESTED THAT I NEEDED A NEW LOCK-UP SOLENOID BUT I WANT TO BE SURE BEFORE I BUY AN $200 PART. Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 25, 2007 3:45 pm) sahonda (Aug 25, 2007 3:49 pm) kiawah (Aug 26, 2007 8:35 am)

Replying to: sahonda (Aug 25, 2007 3:37 pm) Well a does not start problem, is totally different than a won't shift into gear problem.   So you turn the ignition key, and you hear what? Replies to this message: sahonda (Aug 25, 2007 3:49 pm) kiawah (Aug 26, 2007 8:35 am)

Replying to: sahonda (Aug 25, 2007 3:49 pm) Okay, so the only thing we know at this point is your starter is working.   You need three basic things for the engine to start. You need a fuel/air mixture, compression of the fuel in the cylinder, and a spark, all of those occuring at the right time.   What do you know about the condition of the spark plugs, and the spark plug wires?   What do you know about the fuel pump, fuel filter, and air filter? Can you smell gasoline, which would indicate too much gas or spark not igniting it.   Are there any engine noises that either have occurred, or are occuring which would leave you to believe there might be a piston, valve, or timing belt problem?   There could be a hundred things that effect the three basics needed, and you're going to need to find a way to eliminate 2 of them as not a problem, or focus on one because you know it is a problem.   And your posts would be easier to read if you didn't put everything in CAPS.
#38 of 80 The shifter vibrates while in gear? by xmontx Aug 28, 2007 (6:41 pm)
I'm starting to notice and getting annoyed at when I shift into 3rd gear. I shift it into 3rd gear...and if I push alittle more into gear gear, there's this vibration (I'm not even pushing it hard or anything, just as if you're resting on it). There's no grinding noise from the car, but I get this vibration that happens in 3rd gear. What is it? Is it normal? What's the fix?
#39 of 80 Can't shift into drive by shayshee Sep 05, 2007 (4:48 pm)
Hi. I have an automatic 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. About a week ago my 'Brake System' light came on and about a day after that when I turned on the car, my gearshift locked up. It was absolutely stuck - it wouldn't budge and the button on the shifter wouldn't give an inch. It took a couple of minutes of turning the car off and on before it worked. Since then, it's hit or miss...sometimes I can get out of park immediately, sometimes it's the same two minute struggle to get it into gear. Any thoughts? I can't get to the dealer until the weekend at the earliest. Is this some sort of defensive mechanism that's coming on because there's something seriously wrong with my brakes? (I got had the brakes checked when I got my oil changed a month ago and the mechanic said there was nothing wrong).

Replying to: shayshee (Sep 05, 2007 4:48 pm) I strongly feel your problem is related to the switch that depresses when you step on the brakes. Recently manufacturers have been placing a "lock" on the transmission gear selector lever. In the past many people were shifting into reverse (or drive for that matter) while not applying the brakes with the result being the car moved in an unintended or unexpected manner. This resulted in property damage or personel injury. So it is not possible to move the shifter out of park on a newer car without deliberately stepping on the brake. The switch I mentioned does double duty (I believe) by both illuminating your brake lights and signaling to "unlock" the shifter because now you have your foot on the brakes....your switch is faulty or the mechanism that should "unlock" the shifter is. Your brakes are fine however as is the transmission. Return to the dealer and relate the problem to the service dept and it should be fixed in no time.
