automatic transmission

[kabuke0]

gaano kalakas ang normal jerky??

sa akin...1st to 2nd gear. parang malakas at masydo ang shift shock niya eh.

kapag light ang pagtapak sa gas...medyo mahina ang jerk. pero pag napadiin ng konti..

parang nag-umpugan sila. ramdam talaga.

by the way, nag-palit na ako ng surplus transmission. mukhang palpak ata yung nabili ko eh.

kasi dati di naman ganun.

pretty normal, it's the tranny cable that keeps you at lower gear longer. the more you pull the cable, the longer it keeps you from upshifting...

it's like sports mode, if you want more power, you have to stay longer on the lower gear...

you can loosen the cable a bit for smother shift at the price of a lesser bit response once you step on the gas. lesser grip going uphill or under heavyloads. but sometimes, some A/T's do need to loosen it a bit.

Mga tsong worth it ba mag pa transtech sa autotechnika?

I have 110T+ reading pero di ko alam kung pina-flush na ng previous owner yung ATF. 97 civic po auto.

Pag check ko sa dipstick sabi ng mekaniko ok pa naman daw at di kailangan palitan and so far no complaints ako sa takbo ng auto. Plannning to do have it done tomorrow.

Good morning Tsikoteers!

Ano ba ang mga disadvantages kung laging naka-"on" yong "overdrive" sa transmission? Feedbacks will be highly appreciated, thanks.

[viper2lt]

no disadvantages at all. mas matipid sa gas kasi mas maaga ang shifting nya kung naka on ang over drive.

[kabuke0]

nag-improve yung jerky feeling ko when shifting.

after i bought...an expensive atf oil.

i both Mobil 1 synthetic oil.

i drained the oil for about 1 day.

filled up around 3 liter of oil.

and drove test it.

parang di ko ma feel ang shifting ngayon kasi di na siya jerky.

obserbahan ko pa rin kung hanggang kelan ang smooth shifting niya.

well..alagaan ko na lang sa oil.

mas magandang oil talaga mas maganda.

P750 a liter.

[ritek]

mukhang mas ok yata drain and fill lang ng new synthetic oil than i pa flush... hmmm...

Just remember that when you drain your ATF, some fluid will still be left inside the torque converter. This is normal and I won't worry about it unless your ATF is badly burnt (amoy sunog). I think the only way to get it out is to do a flush and fill with the engine running while shifting gears every few seconds. This will use up a lot of fluid.

BTW, if you have a AT filter, change it at the same time with the ATF and don't forget to buy a new transmission gasket.

Not sure kung may AT filter ang civic 97...sa nababasa ko parang wala. Just to make sure na malinis lahat ipapa-flush ko na lang para sigurado. sana di masyado maraming gamiting na ATF para mura lng...

It's supposed to be ON under ALL normal driving circumstances. You only turn it off during specific situations called for in the owner's manual.

Turning OD off switches off the topmost gear of your tranny (as well as all gears with a gear ratio of less than 1.000). So if you have a 4 speed A/T, you have just turned it into a 3 speed. If you exceed the allowed speed range, you can overheat and destroy the tranny.

That is the reason why a warning lamp illuminates when you turn it off. Because it's supposed to be on.

kung cherry red pa ang ATF mo, at hinde amoy sunog, ok pa yan. anything out of that, palit na yan. usually ginagawa ang transtech sa mga A/T na hinde naalagaan. mejo expensive sha, so kung hinde mo kelangan wag mo na ipa-transtech.

*viper 2lt & otep: Thanks a lot for the information.
Cheers !!!

hondas don't have atf filters.

drain refill is good na if you can do it regularly maybe at 20k km intervals.

Mga magkano sir pa drain and refill?

[speedyfix]

depends on the atf you use.

How about yung transmission support?
Experience ko ito sa automatic ko before, although hindi sya Honda (Mitsubishi Galant). Yung shift shock dramatically improve ng magpalit ako ng brand new na tranmission support. Almost hindi ko na maramdaman ang shift ng 1st to 2nd.

[kabuke0]

that's my next plan.

after a successful..ATF drain. support naman. hehehe

sa civic kaya?

[X-isle]

tanong ko lang, bakit ganun parang hindi naman ata nauubos ung atf ko? pag chinechek ko same level as always? is it supposed to be like that na parang hindi nababawasan tapos idrain then palitan na lang???
