Automatic Tranny Problem
Anybody have problems with automatic tranmission on 2001+ Civics? I've had mine for about a year with just over 50,000km on it (yeah yeah, it's a lot I know) and noticed that downshifts are not as smooth as it used to be. It is espcially rougher when it's a stop and go situtation. I took it the dealership twice and they said nothing is wrong. But I rented another Civic just recently and it was much smoother than mine. Anybody else experienced this?

Rep Power: 0 I took it to Honda and they said that I shouldn't do it until 96,000km for the first change... or about 65,000 miles. After that, it is every 48,000km. Should I go on and change it anyway? Is it safe to do so?

Rep Power: 0 how do you drive? the transmission will adapt to your throttle input, and might get rougher/smoother based on how heavy your foot is, hehe.. so aside from a fluid check, maybe try resetting your ECU and see how it is after that?

Well, my foot *is* heavy.. the ECU has been reset already.... ummm...........
Hope the tranny isn't dying on me. Might have to sell it... and get a... Corolla or something
