Auto trans
91 Civic LX 1.5 Automatic.....I have noticed that this transmission is VERY sensitive to the fluid level
in it. That being said,will an aftermarket cooler work correctly w/out "overfilling" the transmission
once the engine is off?I would think drain-back would be a problem. Also have noticed under hard
cornering that the trans will "temporarily" come out of gear. I have checked the fluid level per OEM
recommendations & it is right on the money. The trans seems to work great otherwise & shifts well
other than under hard cornering. I was also surprised that when I was told the transmission is a
drain/refill only (which has been serviced regularly) Thoughts?
