Rep Power: 340

Hi all I just purchased a 1997 civic EX Auto..

It runs very well..

I do have one question though...as it hits 80 KMPH and goes into overdrive it gives a kind of kick ..

Isnt this civic suppose to be smooth all through the shift band?????

It jerks when it goes into overdrive...

Abyone know why??????????????? or would have an idea....

I beleive the engine was changed could they have fooked something up...or maybe an ajustement is needed...

Thanks all

Im guessing the owner before me put regular atf fluid...

ill be flushing the tranny this week..Honda told me that you drain it then fill it up with three liters ...run the car flush then put in another three liters then run it then flush again and refill......


thats the flush they do...

any comments????

yeah do that with real oem fluid. my friend put some stupid generic crap in there and his auto shifted hard, then we just changed it once with honda atf and its much smoother. add some LC20 that will help too.
