95 Civic slow start in drive.

Well I have spent hours looking everyplace for an answer but nothing so here I am HELP!


My car runs and drives great when you first get out on the roads but after it heats up it takes off slow. If the car is in drive it has no power but if a put it down in first gear takes off!!! Seems to only do this after the engine or transmission is warm.


Let me know if you need any other information.


New: plugs, cap, rotor, wires, filters....

The is a common sign of approaching transmission failure. How many miles? Has the fluid ever been changed. Proper honda atf used? I am assuming it is an automatic trans.

Re: 95 Civic slow start in drive.

I would do a 3x drain and fill of the tranny.
Drain the fluid. Add back in the 2.5 qts or so that come out, drive it for about 10 min.
Repeat 2 more times. Assuming your clutches aren't toast, you may notice a significant improvement. Use only Honda ATF.
