Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 20041999 Civic Transmission
I have a 1999 Civic with automatic transmission that has trouble shifting out of Park in cold weather. I am able to move the shift lever into the drive position. When I do this there is a loud "thunk" type noise and a lurch forward by the car. No power is supplied to the wheels, it's like I'm still in park. The solution I have so far is to put in back in park and let the car warm up more. After warming the car more I can put it into drive. Once it does get into gear, it drives fine. There is also a "click" noise when going into reverse in any weather. Any ideas as to what is happening? Is this something fixable? Fluid levels are fine and fluid was last taken care of by a dealer so it is the right type. Car has about 60k miles. I've seen a lot of posts about honda transmissions so I'm figuring that they are just a problem overall. On 23 Dec 2004 06:04:21 -0800.

I have a somewhat similar problem (Civic 1987). When the engine/transmission is very cold (at winter) when I change from reverse into D4 or any D-gear, I get a terrible sound for perhaps one second, which sounds almost like when you change gears on a manual non synchronized gearbox, without doing the usual double clutching. However the D4 or any D's engages immediately after the sound disappears. If I let the engine/transmission warm up in Neutral for just a couple of minutes, this does not happen at all. May it be some valve in the gearbox, that hangs when the transmission is ice cold? The oil level and quality of the oil seems to be as it should, I might add.
