Post subject: 98 Civic DX Automatic Transmission Issue?
Archived from groups: alt>autos>honda (more info?)

I have a 98 Civic DX, automatic and recently I have been noticing what
appears to be strange shifting. For instance, when I roll up to an
intersection and the light turns green before I stop or when I make a slow
speed turn (into a driveway for instance) and then get back on the gas, the
transmission shifts down with a bit of a clunk (nothing too loud, just
abrupt/rough). Also, when coming off the highway onto a ramp (and on the
brakes) the car seems to be abrupt/rough when it downshifts (from 4th to
3rd).
Does this sound like a fatal transmission problem or might it be an issue as
simple as new honda tranny fluid? Any suggestions? Thank you for your
assistance. |

----------------------
Knowing your mileage would be a big help, and you didn't say when you
last changed your ATF, but it sounds pretty normal behaviour for a Honda.
Change the Z1 tranny fluid twice, and keep going.
