i picked up a 95 civic about a week ago and the trasmission seems to shift a little harder than what i'm used to....

it's automatic, but it just seems really noticeable when getting up to or down from speed....

i've checked on the net and alot of places say that there is a "lubeguard" treatment specifically for hondas for this problem...

does anyone else experience this and have you had it fixed? where?

not many autos in the club man... and even fewer ppl that would know how to fix it. I'd try fresh fluid right away and (maybe they don't use this) but a tranny filter. some later autos don't have a filter but it's worth checking out. I remember I had bought Prolong tranny treatment when I had my auto car, but I never used it. It was like $35 bucks and now it just sits there anyways, I do recommend Prolong I've heard really good things about their products.

i called the local honda dealer and asked their opinion and they said the excact same thing....get a flush and fill with the OEM fluid and they're also going to adjust the "geardown" arm or something like that.....

getting it done saturday so hopefully it helps.....

have them things got governors??
if so it might be worn..
detent might need adjusting..to much pressure

this is all old school shyt, but it's been a long time since i've messed with this shyt..

fluch yada yada....or if you want a auto that will chirp second then take it to level 10...they will put a stronger clutche pak in it and put a diferent converter....

hope they'd do the valve body springs and seperator plate too..
no sense doing one w/o the other..

if ya wanna start pissing with an auto then do at least a stage 2 kit and high-stall torque convertor
stage 3 would give you full manual shift

definitely get a few references about a tranny shop b4 you go anywhere too..
there are a shyt load of scammers out there..i could name a dozen of them in about 2 seconds..

My '93 with an auto tranny does downshift hard.. but it feels like the average person downshifting in a standard.. i know its alittle hard for an auto, but i dont care.
