i have a 98 lxi civic automatic. my problem is parang hindi siya nag pupunt dun sa parang overdrive. ang explanation sa manual eh lock up torque converter daw iyon. kaso pag dinala mo sa mga dealer hindi nila maintindihan ang sinasabi ko. at wala silang maibigay na solution. parang overdrive ang silbi niya. baka naman my nakaka intindi kung paano ko mapapaayos ito. thanks
meron ka ba nakikitang button sa shifter that says O/D? press mo yon and see what happens. wala pa kse ako narinig na nasirang transmission ng honda that age (98, right?) unless hinahataw mo yan lagi tapos hindi pa pinapalitan ang transmission fluid. but still, it's a honda. alam nating magaling pagkakayari
civics dont have OD buttons.. ang meron is D4, D3 at 2 not sure kung may 1 ka.. pero sa accord meron....... D4 is the overdrive.. you should have 4 gears at this stage....
best way to check if there's something wrong with your A/T is to check your fluid...
pull out the A/T fluid level checker... smell it... if it has a Burnt Smell then for sure... there is something wrong with your A/T... it should have a sweet smell...
a lot of dealers don't know how to fix A/T problems... they usually send it to this guy I know... he has a shop in lower bicutan underneath the Skyway (if your coming from Bicutan going towards Magallanes on the service road... it's right after Tesda... on your right... if your coming from the other side, it's before the TESDA building... on the left side, there's an opening... )... If my memory serves me right... his name is Eric Lucas... he was an A/T mechanic in Canada and came back to Manila to start so far the only specialty A/T shop. I can't seem to recall the shop name. I posted it before here... maybe one of the Mods can search for it...

hopefully it's nothing bad... if it is... expect to pay a lot... A/T repair can be pretty costly...

is your problem that you RPM is going up but you don't feel any push from the engine? (just like an M/T having a slipping clutch)...
sir actually ung hatak walang problema ung lang talagang lock up torque converter ayw mag engage kasi before ang 100 na speed niya nasa mga 2200 lang ang rpm pero ngayon nasa mga 2800 at kabisado ko na ang kotse kong ito dahil madalas ko ibyahe ito sa province so alam ko talagang my kulang siya na isa pang shift. lalo na ang auto trans ng honda ramdam na ramdam mo pag nag shifshift ang transmission pero will do your advice. smell it. thanks! try ko search ung shop name sa mga previous thread. thanks uli.
actually sir ang civic na lxi auto nag 4 gears so alam mong nasa 4ht gear ka na pero ala siyang indicator ramdam mo lang. un nga meron pa itong tinatawag na lockup torque converter ito ung parang overdrive niya. ito ung hindi gumagana.
Huh? Alam ko ang overdrive ng matic tranny ay 4th gear. Yung sinasabing torque converter built in sa tranny to compensate for the loss power during shifting or shift lag. It is active on every gear.
