Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 20062002 Honda Civic LX transmission troubles
We have a 2002 Civic LX that has 55K miles on it. When the car is cold the transmission doesn't seem to shift properly. As it shifts to first, second and third, you will see the RPM's on the tach shoot up and then back down as it shifts. After about 10 minutes of driving, it shifts normal. I have replaced the trans fluid at 18K and 33K and used only genuine Honda trans fluid. Has anyone had issues like this and does anyone know of any quiet or hidden recalls from Honda in case the trans is bad. This car has the Continuously Variable Transmission which I hate. It always feels like it is trying to slow down the car. I have driven other Civic's with out the CVT and they seem to run a lot better. > We have a 2002 Civic LX that has 55K miles on it.

No Jim I'm not a Detroit anti-import troll. If I like the car and can afford it, I'll buy it. It doesn't matter to me if it is an import or an "American" car. I was just at the local new car show and really loved the new Challenger by Dodge.

The 02 LX was not available with that transmission. >On 3/8/06 7:18 PM, in article 5cfa252eaf5b9@uwe, "jdc2wojo" <u19484@uwe> >wrote: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> they seem to run a lot better. >The 02 LX was not available with that transmission. I maybe wrong with the CVT name, but it is not a regular transmission. Since it was new, it always seemed to want to slow down the car when you take your foot off of the gas. Most cars that I have driven in, in the past were never like that. If you took your foot off of the gas you would just coast....not with this transmission. >>On 3/8/06 7:18 PM, in article 5cfa252eaf5b9@uwe, "jdc2wojo" <u19484@uwe> >>wrote: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >like that.
