i have a 1998 honda civic ex coupe and a couple of days ago i noticed that the shifting was not as smooth as it used to be...so i took it in to the local dealer and they said it was called hardshifting . so i changed the transmission fluid to a speicaly made honda fluid but i dont know if thats going to stop the problem so far it seems like its working,...does anyone know anymore info on this? can this soulution get worse? the hard shifting occurs when im accelarating from a stop mode......please help im a college student who isnt really capabable of buyin g a new transmission...what other quick fix ways are there for such problem??
