Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2006Automatic Transmission Problem?
Hey, I have a 1992 Honda Civic DX automatic with 110,000 miles on it. The car runs and drives great except for a slight transmission problem. When coming up to a stop, if i down shift from D4 to D3 its fine, from D3 to 2nd its fine, but from 2nd to 1st the trans will grind or clunk. The owners manual says that it is perfectly fine to up shift and down shift, it even says i can operate this trans like a manual without a clutch. So is the noise normal or am I harming the transmission and has anyone else had this experince? Thanks in advance! Paul Have you had your AT fluid replaced at a dealer (to ensure you get the right stuff)? That would be the first thing I would do. It doesn't last forever. > Hey, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Paul The fluid has been changed every 30,000 miles and was changed 5000 miles ago with mobil 1 synthetic AT fluid.

To fully get the stuff out, you'll need to drain the fluid, fill new Honda ATF fluid in (3 quarts with a new washer for the drain bolt), drive a week and do it again. Repeat one other time and I think you'll get it all out. Good Luck, Nick >The fluid has been changed every 30,000 miles and was changed 5000 >miles ago with mobil 1 synthetic AT fluid.
