Well I guess Arfcom is a good a place as any to ask this - I've got information about obscure shit here before. Here goes.
I recently bought a 97 Honda Civic LX 4DSD 1.6 with 78,000 miles to get me back and forth to work as the wifey is now pregnant and will be taking my truck
. Anyway, I've noticed an issue with my auto transmission. When I take my foot off the gas at low or mid level speeds (10-30 mph or so) the car feels like it's in a lower gear than it should be in. You can feel the car slowing itself down, as if the car has downshifted on it's own, or possibly not shifted to a high enough gear for the speed I'm driving at. In other words, you feel resistance to your rolling along, slowing you down, as if the tranny is in a lower gear than would be appropriate for that speed. Does that make sense?
Where's my rice burner mechanics? Will I need a new tranny or will this just be an adjustment? Fingers crossed.
Thanks lads.
