Civic transmission
Hello,
I have a 95 civic and the auto transmission seems to be acting funny. It only has 78,000 mi. I had the trans serviced last year. It seems to accellerate a bit slowly with it sticking it 1st gear a bit too long. Also, when it is first shifted into drive it seems to slip a bit. I checked the fluid level it seems fine and isnt burnt. Just curious if this is a common problem on this model or any other info. Thanks |

If you've been climbing any hills with the wrong stuff in it, you might be needing a new tranny.
