thank you sir for your past reply, sir about automatic transmission, pano po malalaman kung amy problem n po ito? and tsaka kung amgpapalit lang po ba ng atf kaya n ito ng ordinary mechanic? or kelangan specialist pa? and may mairerekumenda po ba kayong brand ng atf? fluid (both steering ang brake)? meron b itong clutch fluid? o ito n ung atf? thanks po

Fluids should be changed at the specified intervals in the owner's manual (or even more often).

If the shop you went to cannot handle the job, there are many others that can. For ATF, always stick to OEM (original). Autotechnika in Fairview has the ATF changing machine and you can bring your own (original) ATF.

Sa gas station they just drop the ATF oil pan and fill in new fluid. That equates to about 3 liters in a Starex. Kaso 7 liters ang true capacity so yung 4 liters naiwan sa loob ng transmission. So malamang sa shop na may machine ko na lang dadalhin. Kasi sayang naman kung maglalagay ako ng new fluid tapos hahalo lang dun sa luma. I'm planning to have the oil pan and ATF filter cleaned as well.

Wala siyang clutch fluid.

medyo napanatag ung loob ko kasi may nabasa ako sa forum dito din eh, about sa transmission na pag ung amoy ng atf eh medyo sunog, sira n daw un, pero sa akin sweet and sour pa rin amoy and malinis pa po, pero due for replacement na po ito kaya papapalitan ko n lang, may idea po ba kayo kung ano indication kung gumagana na ung vtec nya? kasi may nabasa ako (di ko matandaan kung saan forum ko nakita pero mga 1/2 yr n nkalipas) na madaming honda civic vti n po na parang sira n ung relay(or something that trigger the vtec) kay ganun, or meron po bang ganun ung 1997 honda vti? please advice me po. thanks

I have a 96 civic vti matic and manual, yung matic binenta ko na. medyo matakaw sa gas at 6-7km/liter sa city driving. Suspensions get shot easily, kung mapapansin mo dumadapa na karamihan sa ganung models. I suggest wag mo na pagawa power antenna, IMO its only there for aesthetic purposes. Basta malinaw reception mo ok na yan. medyo malakas shift shock sa transmission ng matic.Use only honda original atf for the transmission fluid (mahal masyado) around 550/liter sa casa.watch out for rear bushings, madali bumigay.
On the bright side it has a smooth engine which you can rev hard till redline hehehe.Plus it probably has one of the best suspensions among compact cars.
